I’m not one to ever, really root for the second male lead or have second male lead syndrome, but I have to say, this drama is causing me MAJOR second male lead syndrome. Going into this drama, I wasn’t blown away by Prince Wu You. I was hoping his acting and the chemistry between him and Princess Rong Le would make up for the lack of spark I was feeling from him. To my disappointment, I didn’t get riled up or get that feeling of a deep love despite the claims of deeply loving each other. It wasn’t until General Fu was introduced into the story did I feel like THIS was a relationship I wanted to see develop into something more. Especially when Wu You was temporarily gone, I was excited and hoping for General Fu & Rong Le to get closer. I also think Forgetting General Fu’s bad deeds, I think he can be sympathized with the most, growing up without a family or friends. He’s right when it comes to comparing him and Wu You, everyone is more forgiving of Wu You but strict with Fu Chou.
The last thing I’ll really say is, I’m glad the female lead is ACTUALLY a badass who can fight against others. There were moments where I didn’t think she really needed to act like a damsel in distress but I give props to her for actually being a heroine. She did get annoying at times, but it was understandable why she acted the way she did after being used by everyone.
Overall, I don’t think I’ll have any lingering feelings from this drama if I continue to watch it or choose to rewatch it. The soundtrack is decent but not exactly heart-moving. General Fu’s character, along with Rong Le’s loyal friends and Prince Chen’s characters made me really enjoy what I’ve watched so far.

on the other hand the male lead character is boring. probably the actor couldnt portray Wu You very well. i dont know. all i know is i dont like the male lead. i even wish he would just die. lol
the big problem is the lack of chemestry between the leads. this drama would be better off without their love story. i often skip their scenes. they suck!
oh and i cringe quite alot seeing how the female lead, a woman who suppossed to be good at martial, falls too many time only to give the male lead a chance to catch her. lousy script!
however i need to watch how this will end, dispite all the lacks

Rong Qi is the winner of all !!
It is a very long, winded, yet great love story... with women being the center of power directly and indirectly....but Rong Qi gives the greatest twist of all...He lets himself to be misunderstood as a cold, selfish and weak king.....but oh my.... he turns to be the most unselfish and loving character of all....yet amazingly...he still ends as a good son too....
He made me cried my heart out 😭😭😭
Another cast that LYX brings out very well....he really acts very well....

Very Tedious
I started out really enjoying this drama thru the first 10-12 episodes and then it descended as many have already said into a tedious and boring and convuluted mess. I could not really like any of the main leads and found them all ridiculous in the end. I really disliked the female lead by episode 18 and her actions were so ridiculous and selfish at the end that I was not really routing for her. The male lead was dull and boring and his utter blind devotion to her was not really believable. Her brother even less so. While I appreciate Leo Wu as an actor his character was not a good one.. I noticed so many people seemed to like him/sympathize with him and I just do not get it. He was a horrible human being who used her so many times. Save her? He was the cause of most of her problems. If he had gotten rid of his phsyco Mother all would have been fine but I guess there would be no story. The third lead male twin brother was also pretty pathetic but he was the one I liked the most. While he was not so believable I guess I understood where he was coming from. Last but not least was the last few episodes and the utterly absurd ending. What a mess. All in all I would not waste my time on 58 episodes of constant lying, constant poisoning and utter nonsense.Was this review helpful to you?

Started this drama with only an interest for the plot. Did not expect to completely fall in love with it after just a few episodes. The last few episodes when we see more of Rong Qi definitely hit me hard, he's not the main male lead but boi his character plot really got me sobbing. Prepare a few tissues at this point. Rong Qi’s character plot was definitely one of the reasons I stuck with this drama. The initial episodes of the drama will definitely hook you with all the mysteries and suspense. However, the middle part, say about 2/3 of the way into the drama, did drag for me. The plot started to go off the initial storyline, for instance, Ya Li's love plot. This part of the story made it frustrating to watch as it wasn't directly relevant to the plot and instead of finding out the history between characters and having a more in-depth understanding of their relationships, it lengthened the wait to find out the overall truth behind the mysteries. Ya Li’s sudden interest in Wu You unnecessarily lengthened the drama but definitely stick to it till the end. You’ll also eventually find out why it’s titled Princess Silver. I’d say have a read of the novel version’s synopsis because that will make it clearer as to the reason why it’s titled so (but do keep in mind that the drama is altered, thus will be different to the novel, so that it is more viewer friendly in China. The novel is after all tagged as having mature content).
As you get to the last few episodes, everything is explained and the truth behind Man Yao’s past and those around her is revealed, which was done beautifully. The ending was done well too, a happy ending for the main couple and one of the side couple pair. It’s a very satisfying ending but do keep a few tissues on hand cuz you’ll absolutely need it. Definitely give this a try. It's not too heavy but not too light of a watch either. Yes it’s a lot of episode but trust me it will fly by. You’ll keep wanting to watch the next episode over and over again. All actors/actresses portrayed their characters very well. There are moments when the Male lead’s acting may be a bit stiff but the chemistry between him and the female lead compensates for that. The unyielding and conditional trust between characters really makes this drama even more enjoyable to watch. Costume designs are beautiful and elegant (it’s definitely one of those dramas where costume was heavily invested on and what a feast for the eyes!) and you'll never get tired of listening to the OST.

An emotional rollercoaster
Nobody in this drama is what he or she appears to be. Although it is rather lengthy (some bits feel a bit drawn out) the mystery kept me going.The romance part starts of nicely, but then falls into the usual cliches of misunderstandings, keeping things from the other "for their protection", etc. The chemistry between the main leads was a bit lukewarm, some of their actions seemed incoherent. The end could have done with a bit more explanation: if they love each other that much, why waste precious time staying apart?
I intensely disliked the 2nd ML (Fu Chou) with his stalker-type "you-must-love-me-because-I'm-so-good" stance, only to feel sorry for him in the end. That was quite a surprise!
The feeling was similar for Rong Qi - his actions appeared contradictory and confusing at times, but in the end it all made sense. I really didn't know what to make of this character until his tragic story was revealed towards the end. Again, Luo Yunxi quite impressive in a heart-wrenching role!
I liked the fact that the drame has some strong female roles. The action scenes were overall done quite nicely and costumes were good as well.
The music was very emotional and suited the drama perfectly. I must say that I preferred Aarif Rahman's singing to his acting...

7 stars just because of Leo. everything else just mediocre
this drama leave no impression.no character development, the FL and ML got their happy ending, because they're the leads and entitled to happy ending.
I agree with other reviewer who said that the ML character is somehow always get excused for being wrong/childish. so does with the FL character.
I have more symphatize for Fu Chou and Rong Qi. And their character development actually better than ML.
ML always had the previleges, and FL is a bratty spoiled princess. Judging that she has more good value and principle than others, while actually she had no idea about the truth. That's why she regret that later.
They're both a pair of spoiled and arrogant character who think that they're the right ones and others have wronged them.
No chemistry between ML and FL. Even their romantic scene didn't impress me.
Their acting weren't bad. But just didn't leave a great impression. like it's just : oh okay.. and not swooning over them.
The only deep touching feeling I get were from Leo's character (Rong Qi) and General Fu Chou. Leo's acting is incredible as always (I don't need to explain). And the actor who played Fu Chou also acted well.
recommended for you who have a weak heart, since it won't leave you wondering, conflicted or traumatized.
After finished watching you'll just yawn and 'okay, time for bed'.
rewatch? absolutely NO.

Bias while giving review
Female protagonist is my favourite so I kept this drama in my plan to watch list .I didn't have anything to watch so I decided to watch it . I watched it after watching " till the end of the moon " drama . The male protagonist of "till the end of the moon " drama became my favourite and he had sad ending in this drama and because of this I didn't connect myself with the drama otherwise story was good .
The story revolved around the character "Rong Le" ,three people loved her ... one Out of three , loved towards her was selfless.
Rong Qi (who was main character of "till the end of the moon) . He played the role of her brother at the starting of the drama but the end we came to know that he loved her . Because of his selfishness ,just to gain power he swayed her from him . He was wrong but I didn't want to see him in negative role.
I was thinking it was not necessary to give bad ending to Fu chou and Hen Xiang characters. Because he accepted his wrong doing and had accept Hen Xiang.
Drama was good but too lengthy.

#1- OK let me start.... 1st how come Prince Li can not recognize her when she just cover the eyes?? her voice, her teeth & the way she speaks no difference between Princess Qi & Man Yao... but if she dress like a man he could recognize her.. hahahaha... Funny
#2- Also I can not really understand they both like each other from the time they first met, then it become deeply in love but HOW COME (again) you will not admit that U are the Prince of Qi whom the Prince Li is crazy about?? whats ur point not to admit like hey Im the Princess that is arrange to marry U?? what gives U the hesitation??
#3- all in Epi 12... HOW come she says her Brother (Emperor) betray her by marrying the General... isn't she is the 1st to betray as she falls in love to Prince Li in different name without telling her brother???
#4- Also, Prince Li is already doubtful of her as spy of Qi, so not to expose her & the Kite Agents her brother has to change the Plan... i mean she already sacrificed to get married to a Prince who do not accept her, why not marry the General?? haishhhh... where is the Logic???
AND lastly... if U expect its romance from epi 2 or 3 till i dropped, they like each other already even a single kiss... MHEYOOOO! how can u convince ur viewer that u like or love or ur madly in love with each other even just a single kiss U did not give us....
I wasted my time... really... really... really....
