Solid start. The usual info dump. Love Song Zu Er's character, Qiao Man. Especially that she was willing to save her cousin and more importantly act to save the people. Her grandfather acknowledges her brilliance.
Wei Shao is super feirce. Scary even. He's impatient and acts fast to get what he wants.
These two are going to have sparks flying! I love that despite himself he looked stunned.

Totally amazing, it was a captivating start. And I got right into it, both characters are so strong and powerful. Their aura is amazing, as we all know LYN but this is my first time seeing the fl but she's amazing as well.

I just love it when a drama grabs me with the first episode, there is not way now not to keep watching. I bodes well. i was just going to watch this one but i have to keep watching now. and just to add to call someone a weasel or to gift a weasel means that person is a deceitful or treacherous person. i wonder if it has the same meaning in China.

I really liked the plot of the drama. A smart girl and a boy who wants revenge. Their love will probably start with hatred, which is one of my favorite love beginnings 😻 I was touched by the dialogue between the sisters. Watching one of the sisters make a happy marriage choice made me happy like Xiao Qiao 😭😭😭😭 Wei Shao is very handsome, Xiao Qiao is beautiful. I laughed hard when I watched Wei Shao's face in the last scene. The first episode was really good

Qiao Man is a very smart young lady. When talking to her grandfather it was very clear that she understood the politics and strategies of the Wei clan. 14 years ago the two families were allies and that faith was broken when the Qiao family did not come to help the Wei family during a war. Many were slaughtered and the survivor swore he would avenge the deaths of his grandfather, brother and father. The Qiao family wanted to make a truce by allying through marriage. The governor’s daughter was chosen, but she already loved another. Qiao Man was also betrothed, but the family showed contempt for her though the young man I think really did care about her. She was wise to understand the family was part of the deal in marriage and considered her lot would fair better with the Wei clan. She helped her friend run off and took her place with the seal of Panyi as dowery. They were hoping that offering this place would ease the tension between the families. He overheard the women discussing why they wanted the wedding venue there. This would allow for the seal being kept if the groom changed his mind. He wanted to kill her before she ever reached the gate but a wise servant suggested it would be wiser to accept the offer of Panyi with no bloodshed. The reluctant groom agreed only to keep her alive. But once he saw her he was pleasantly surprised. Except for her grandfather, Qiao Man was surrounded by idiots at home, so I don’t blame her for trying her luck elsewhere. But she really threw all caution to the wind having her family’s enemy as a groom.

I like the fight scene between Su Li and Shao Wei. Impressive cinematography. The supporting cast around Shao Wei are going to be hilarious based this episode. Definitely hooked - next - wish all episodes are out.

Superb! A well-made first episode. Thought low budget production trace still can be seen in some scene, as overall is good. It live up to my expectation. The chemistry between the leads are rose throught the roof! Especially at that end tho, that lingering gaze after Wei Shao seing the beauty of Qiao Man. Hahaha.The ending song is amazing! I like it a lot!

We see a bit of a backstory and the hate our Wei Shao is carrying. Then the beauty of our Qiao. This woman can act so so fine. And LYN is doing so well too! From the first ep, I can feel the sparks already!
