One of the most realistic relationship developments I have seen. Characters have dimensions to them. They showcase the good and the bad of the characters really well. Very relatable.

In terms of bromance, as gruff and cold SZ seems in this series, he was the first to realise his feelings. TF is an idiot when it comes to himself but understands others very well. So through SZ's pain, he also realised his feelings later. Have patience guys. WZ is a 17 yr old who has no time for anything else than to protect his emperor and consort wan. He sees them as his parents and I believe Consort Wan and the Emperor sees WZ as their son too. They care deeply about him. WZ is just happy to have friends like TF and SZ with him. After all, it must be hard for a 17 yr old talented eunuch in the position of power and preferred by the majesty and his consort. People either want to be him or kill him. He just needed friends :(
