i drew this digitally in procreate!

This interactive story game was so fun to watch and play, I had the most amazing experience with literally everything! The culture, the music, the clothes, the infrastructure, everything was just so beautiful & amazing!! I enjoyed playing this game so much that it only took me like 2 days to finish because I couldn't stop. Honestly the outfits are so gorgeous and the music puts you right into the vibe of the whole world, it literally feels like you're watching a high-budget drama show but you get to play it. Every choice you make actually matters for your character to become empress (and later emperor) and the graphics are so smooth with absolutely no lag at all. It is such a fun and addictive ride from start to finish, I'm seriously obsessed and I really hope the creators come out with more ASAP!

With the amount of effort they put into this, I’m honestly surprised it only costs $20 to unlock everything, so it is 100% worth it!

No matter what I do, I can't unlock the auto-split and 100% this chapter.

Recorded relevant(?) choices:
Tigers - Stand aside

Brothers - Spare
Yifu - Don't plead
Memorials - Opponents

Still Li Zhi calls me ruthless even though I've done none of the optional kills. Can anyone help?

At least Wu Zetian did not live to see her own granddaughter making a mess of almost everything she had helped built.

In my previous post about this I told you guys there was a bad ending Li Tai would get another wife and a little daughter and son. There was a video about it of the actual scene I’ve seen on Red Note (with Li Tai with the fake beard) that was deleted. Now I’ve found it so here you go (I legit hope Chinese 45 fans leak the entirety of the original script of the new path so the hard work of everyone involved in it doesn’t go to waste since it’s not looking like they’ll release it themselves). So happy they deleted it because it’s SO OUT OF CHARACTER. Li Tai would never do anything with another woman that’s not Yuanzhao. This mf went to war for the antidote to save our live bitch please he would rather DIE for us than be with somebody else (he literally did because the war he fought to get the antidote gave him injuries that heal and then unheal again and then kill him). Even if he was forced to due to the circumstances (being the brother of the Emperor, a prince that has to continue the royal bloodline) he’d rather off himself lowkey, and if he did get married we would never fade from his memory, he’d at least name his daughter after us. He’d have a daughter first and then the son to be the heir (in the video the little boy was shorter than the girl) and after that he’s done, he’d take good care of the children but he would never get over us, it would be a hell of a loveless marriage. Even a non-canon bad ending has to have the bare minimum of cohesion and this doesn’t so thank you person who leaked this and the hallucination thing so Chinese 45 fans could protest about it and made them delete it because as you can see this is also a part of the reshoots and not the og version so the version we have is bad but it could be EVEN WORSE.

Also, we were robbed ONCE AGAIN (it’s a part of our routine at this point) because not only many New Path voice audios are not synchronized with the mouth movement, originally in the final scene when we were talking to Li Zhi we were ALREADY MARRIED TO LI TAI!!! Yao Chi says as Li Tai we are his wife and the voice acting says something else over it instead and subtitle it. They really had diamond, gold, platinum and decided to discard it for the cheapest copper in the market just because of a loud and annoying minority (don’t even try to tell me it was the government because they had a better script ready that some parts were leaked and undeniably romantic scenes already shot that got deleted that were shown in the trailer at the end of the first game, the censorship approved, otherwise they wouldn’t have even wrote it and started to shoot it, it was the history police that fucked up everything), oh original New Path with 13 chapters and a happy main ending you’ll never be forgotten, you’ll always be famous, you are canon to ME and nothing else matters.

They actually found a replacement actress and got her to host the show in Nanchang.

She is very eloquent.

The fans present were all shocked as everyone thought Wan'er was AI.

The subtitle says: "Shangguan Wan'er actually was I acted."

I'm watching Amimisu's play through on YouTube right now, she does Chinese history content, specifically Chinese imperial palace history. And I really like her commentaries on the historical background on the game plot lines, and apparently the second game is less historically grounded. But nevertheless it's still really fun to learn about all these little facts I would've never noticed on my own. She played the Li zhi line. The dev team really did their homework and tried so hard to trick us lol.

I love how everyone else is annoyed or looking awkward while Li Zhi is just staring up at Wu smiling with no hint of irony like Liu Xi, almost like he finds the whole thing funny in a fond way. Guess it really does just show how in love he was with her from the start.
