Momentarily wondered why I didn't have Qin Zheng start wearing glasses halfway through HT to be extra manipulative toward Zetian but then I realized it would look absolutely ridiculous on top of the mask 😭 - ThreadSky

Glasses over a mask and platform boots to be a little taller. No taking that man seriously after that.

Plot Twist: He does this in the third book. Seems like something he'd do to lull her in before locking her away to the palace.

Could give him a Char mask with lenses 😂 half mask and a monocle?

That would defeat the purpose of making her think of Shimin, who just wears normal glasses!!

You’ve given me a prompt to draw

I'd put a lens in the mask if I had such a character. A "maskonicle", if you will.

As a person who enjoys both masquerade and being able to see: yep.

It would be in character tho. He starts wearing glasses to make her think of Shimin. She looks at how he's wearing a pair of glasses on top of a mask and all she sees is a clown.
