- Moral Event Horizon: If it wasn't King Zhou's use of the Burning Pillar on Mei Bo for simply criticizing Zhou's readiness to kill a long-time loyal servant and scholar over an interpretation of a poem someone else wrote, it was definitely his bloody execution of his wife, Queen Jiang.
- Narm: Ji Chang eating cakes made of his son Bo Yikao's meat is one of the most horrific parts of the novel, but it can be darkly hilarious for a Spanish reader due to a unfortunate coincidence: Bollycao (which not only looks similar to, but it's pronounced almost exactly the same as Bo Yikao) is the name of a popular Spanish brand of chocolate-filled rolls.
