Two episodes.

Four episodes! Our heroine is slowly fighting her way back. Reading the intro and credits in Chinese is improving speed, too. Having a native speaker sitting next to me helps!
120 minutes 2.0h
Our heroine avoids a new trap, and is promoted to head the laundry!
113 minutes 1.88h
Our heroine is saved at the last second, but now must work as a slave in the laundry. Her arch rival killed the mother in law! Will justice be done? We'll know in 30 more episodes. Lots of fun to watch with my wife. I also try to read the Chinese introductions, to increase speed. I can see about 30% of the characters being used. Fun and productive.

I like Chinese court dramas. The stories are simple, and they speak formally, and slower, it seems, than dramas set in present day. It is really helping!
