The sprinkling of details that will be delved into further down the line isn't always so relevant to the current episode. You're overthinking it. Some things are just the first bread crumb that won't be animated until season 4 probably. That secret daughter of the former emperor is someone else entirely. Maomaos origins are set in stone. The prostitute and Lakan. Tragic love gone awry. As for Jinshi's parents, that's also confirmed but you're not entirely accurate. Not many reactors were right by this point though so that's okay.

To be fair, last season was one episode mysteries too, until the last episodes where they revealed that all the small mysteries where a part of a bigger conspiracy. But until the reveal they appeared as one episode mysteries just like this season.

For everyone about to post a response explaining to her about the doctor expelled and the baby's identity, please be very mindful of spoilers. I think is very difficult to talk about it without leaving at least minor spoilers without even realizing it. In the past episode one comment has a small spoiler that probably was unintentional.

For me this episode was excellent. Although I think the first season was better than this one, but I liked the mystery of this 2 episodes. About the weekly story that you talk about, the first season was more o less the same, there was a bigger storyline and there was a small mystery 1 to 3 weeks long. For me the big difference is that in the first season, they focused way more in the relationship between Maomao and Jinshi. We had way more romance. Probably that is why you didn't get bore with the small stories. Because the big background story was more prominent and there was more romance.

I'm glad I'm not the only one not feeling this season, I was just lowkey scared to say it. I feel like I've just been too negative on these shows and would probably get banned or something.
