Yeah, you absolutely right. And another thing that i don't like is making the empress a bitch woman and his son, a stupid boy. I mean, the empress is fighting for making his son the next emperor, of course she will behave as manipulative one but it doesn't need to portray her as a bad and wicked woman. The same with the first prince. I'm tired of the stupidity rivalry between brothers in which one is a genius and the other is a dumbass 🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻. I wish we could see both princes fighting for his righteous for the throne.
As much as I'm enjoying I'll be the matriarch in this life, I do think it has that old problem of making everyone that likes Tia good, and everyone who doesn't bad, sometimes cartoonishly bad, also stupid, like to the point you think how did any of these idiots were able to accomplish anything in any timeline????
Also up to the point where I read (chapter 70) all the changes she made in the timeline had favorable results, it would be interesting if there were more unexpected consequences to her meddling in the events, and problems that didn't happen in the first timeline and to see how Tia deals with stuff when she doesn't have the certainty of future knowledge to back up her choices

When Utahime falls asleep, no matter what happens to the world, he won't move an inch
similar to when a cat decides to sit on your lap, satoru thinks he’s chosen by the gods when you doze off with your head leaning on his shoulder, and he won’t move, won’t breathe even if it kills him
it seriously depresses me that despite all the bad blood and history between them, zheng and chengjiao had hints of what could have developed into a strong, genuinely close bond. zheng trusted him with xianyang when he went to fight at zui, and even though there was no real warmth between them, chengjiao followed through on his implicit promise by keeping the capital out of lü buwei's hands. and although he still resented zheng on a certain level, chengjiao canonically came to respect and want to understand him. he even!!! decided that he would be zheng's mental and emotional shield against the toll that unification might take on him, and that if his brother ever began to falter from the strain, he would be there to finish the job for him. and even though they still weren't close by the time of chengjiao's death, his last words were asking xin to be zheng's shield in his stead and protect him from the brutality of the world, since chengjiao himself could no longer fulfill that role. not to mention he posthumously continues to help zheng by making arrangements for liu yi to take over as the head the chengjiao faction, and keep up the support of his brother even after he (chengjiao) dies. ugh. it's such an underrated relationship imo. in their youth chengjiao incited a rebellion and tried to kill zheng, and almost succeeded! piao was killed because of him! yet zheng trusts chengjiao and doesn't believe the trap framing his brother as the culprit of a second rebellion, and chengjiao, man - chengjiao actually wanted to help zheng in any way he could. plus if you believe in the more supernatural aspects sprinkled here and there in kingdom, chengjiao's spirit is one of the ones explicitly there supporting zheng during his debate of ideals with lü buwei. their association with each other was ostensibly based on utility and political convenience, but it's clear that there was more there. the events of the series kicked off because chengjiao ousted and tried to kill zheng, but in the end, zheng sincerely trusted chengjiao, and chengjiao died wanting to protect him.
