Great transmigration costume production
This is a great transmigration costume production with great actors and a very interesting storyline.It has a “Unchained Love”-vibe about it. Perhaps that is why I enjoyed it so much. So, don’t miss out on this one.
Summary should read something like this:
Song Zhao Rong transmigrates into the body of the eldest Princess. She is one day “asked” by the Queen to marry a Eunuch, Xiao Yu, in order to maintain the power of the throne. The Eunuch, a Governor, has the reputation of being cruel and vicious with numerous women on his conscience.
Not able to escape the marriage, she enters the bridal chamber and awaits meeting her new husband. When he finally arrives, she realizes that he forcefully married her because of an incident as children where the body’s original owner offended him by saying that he was neither male nor female and that she hated him for that. Thus creating a grudge. His fierceness scares FL and has her fearing for her life.
When she later meets the Queen again, she finds out the real reason behind her forcing FL to marry the Eunuch - to kill him. Soon, Song Zhao Rong is caught between a demanding Queen and a husband that scares the living daylight out of her.
But this Eunuch seems to come with a whole set of secrets and might not be the kind of person she thinks. Soon, the two of them are entangled and involved in a fierce power struggle and a big conspiracy.

sorry -this was really bad script and delivery-dissapointing
gosh this was banal from the beginning (1.25x speed) and painful from about halfway through (1x speed) to be insufferable toward the end (skip 10 sec skip 20 sec skip 30 sec). It still felt like self-inflicted punishment - and I stopped at least 3 times to decide if I should drop again. Decided to write a review to warn others.The script was horrendous - while the idea in general would have been great to watch - this was not. The plot was going places that hardly anybody likes going - incoherent, out of the blue and inconsistent. Both the story line and the characters. It was messy and all over the place with too many things trying to be played as important and yet losing the impact with cramming way too many things that really did not matter overall. The ending was just plain disappointing. Nothing felt like it made sense.
I like the leads as actors (I am currently finishing He Jian Qi's spree and watched probably 20 dramas with them, combined), but they did not do much here other than standard 5th grader modern woman and cold ancient man. Feel sorry for them to have to play in this monstrosity.
Don't waste your time on this unless you really like torturing yourself.

Good start ..then something went wrong. Eventually nothing was right ...
The first half of this drama honestly gave me hope. The storyline was neat, the events actually made sense, and there was some logic connecting everything. For a moment, I thought~wow, maybe this will be good.Then the second half happened… and everything collapsed like a cheap umbrella in a storm.
It seriously felt like two different writers took turns to write it ... Suddenly, the plot went into full chaos mode and the characters lost all personality.
Let’s talk about the ML. This man arrives late everywhere, like police dept arrives on the crime scene. And even when he’s there he ignores the details ..like won't bother to check if the person calling his name is actually in trouble. And the FL… her majesty the time traveler, was decent in the first half, but later? Pure chaos. The list of her stupidity is endless. She tries to be all stealthy but makes noise like a street parade, ending in trouble every time but can't give rest to her Sherlock holmes complex. The brothel episode was peak cringe 🤮, and that tea party disaster~ pure unnecessary drama that ruined the ML’s plan.
This show totally challenged my patience.
PS : who are watching it for the transmigration plot ... Sorry to disappoint, you won't get any juice.
