As a female character who only lasts for ten or twenty episodes, Mu Yan's early screen time is quite substantial.
From the moment the concubine enters the palace, Imperial Concubine Liang Wanyu spares no effort to eliminate rivals and seize power.
She admires the Emperor, so every woman in the harem is her enemy.
Although this character is unlikable, Mu Yan's performance is still quite captivating.
The Empress coughed and said, "Lady Zhao is attending the bedchamber for the first time, so it's understandable that she's late."
Liang Wanyu sneered, "As a concubine, serving His Majesty is her duty. If everyone were as arrogant as Lady Zhao in relying on favor, wouldn't the harem's system lose all authority?"
"Then what does the Imperial Concubine mean?"
"Let her kneel for two hours as punishment."
...
"Cut, change the scene!"
Mu Yan reined in her emotions, took a deep breath, and stepped down from her position.
Luo Yao handed her some water, "Have a sip of water first."
