♿️ Serenity🔻 :

saw someone filming through the gaps of the cold palace and i couldnt imagine the depression and loneliness of being confined to that small space for the rest of your life, not being able to even go out the door

Johanna :

Highly recommend playing Road to Empress! It’s an interactive drama. You make decisions and climb the ranks! The decisions are not easy! The outfits and music are breathtaking! The story had me crying!

Guys, apothecary diaries was in fact based on Chinese imperial culture. It’s important to me that you guys know this 😭

ulanarazin :

always amazed with forbidden city view, full of story & history.

fei.yan38 :

Andrea | Finger Artist :

I didn't expect the wall to be so tall! You can't climb it then😭

Rosey :

Women hold up half the sky 🌹

katieliciouss :

I think about this too whenever I visit these kinds of historical sites 😭

d :

already knew how whack being a concubine was, but it still chills me to think about being used and discarded as the emperor decides - or sometimes not even the emperor (e.g. the infamous sun tzu concubine massacre)

Lainey :

The apothecary diaries moved me so much, women have and do deserve so much more than they've been given

Nub.cakes :

can you visit at night? I have heard rumors it's haunted in certain areas.

Cloudedmarket❤️🔱🖤 :

Can somebody drop a novel, manual, etc in the comments about a romance between concubines or something similar 😭🙏🏽🩷

Lenny Bones :

I wept when I went there. I don't know that I've ever been in such a viscerally powerful location before, and certainly never since.
