How was kokachin still a virgin?
The ladies of the court test Kokachin's virginity by putting a tiny egg up her cooch. If there's blood on it when it comes out, that means that she had an intact hymen.
And She May Have Been Entrusted to the Care of Marco Polo
First things first: the real Blue Princess would never waste her time with the shallow dish of tapioca that is Netflix's Marco Polo. He's a bit of a loser. But the real Marco Polo was reportedly entrusted by Kublai Khan to escort her across the terrain.
Trivia. It is insinuated through the end of season one and season two that he is sterile.
Jia Sidao is a Song Dynasty loyalist. He grew up poor and only rose to power because his sister, Mei Lin, was the emperor's favorite concubine. He is a major antagonist of the TV Series, Marco Polo, serving as the main antagonist in Season 1 and a posthumous antagonist in Season 2.
For both seasons, Netflix incurred a loss of $200 million. Therefore, it came as a joint decision from Netflix and The Weinstein Company to cancel Marco Polo for Season 3. Oh well, for fans, it was indeed heartbreaking.

A Genoese-Venetian peace treaty in 1299 allowed Marco Polo to return home. He probably never left Venetian territory again. The following year, he married Donata Badoer, with whom he would have three daughters.
How much did Marco Polo cost?
A very expensive series, even for Netflix
