u know if Lyn was really bad i’m still confused about how she adored the empress even when she was alone. what’s the reason for that

Its worth it cause if the empress dies the seat is empty then only she has a chance to dominate the emperors affection which is very tactically twisted to only favour her and elevate her status even more. Little acting is fine if you can have all the power. And be a lady of standing. The empress is always a threat to a white lotus. Even if she is very kind.
i don’t blame his friend for being bitter. when i don’t talk to someone for a long time i also think they hate me and don’t want to talk to me either. also didn’t he cut them off bc of his eating disorder? it’s all miscommunication, he’s just hurt.
That's true if I was in his situation I would ghost my friends till I got better and he's hurt so I understand, it's painful.
