Seeing Shenmei treat her own daughters like that made my skin crawl, and I can't believe Loulan had to play a part for so long. Watching Jinshi finally take charge as the Moon Prince was such a huge moment for him after all that hesitation. I hope Maomao uses those books to find a way out of that medical wing

Episode Context

Sitting at episode 20 of 24, 'The Stronghold' occupies a critical position in the season's endgame stretch, pivoting from the investigative momentum of 'Festival' into territory focused squarely on the Shi clan's hidden machinations. This episode serves as the foundation for the revelations expected in the following 'Taibon' episode, making it essential connective tissue between Maomao's earlier discoveries and the season's climactic arc. Skipping this one would mean losing crucial context for everything that follows in the final quarter.
