Aww, I’m sorry to hear that you dropped it—I totally understand. But I actually really enjoyed it! I love Liu Yuning as an actor, so I was excited to see him in another lead role. He’s incredibly talented, and his voice? Amazing. The man can sing! I especially appreciated watching his character’s growth—from being consumed by vengeance and hatred to eventually forgiveness and opening his heart to the daughter of his enemy.
To be fair, she was innocent in all of it. It was the generation before her that harmed his family. She was thrown into a chaotic situation, and I think her character handled it the best she could under those circumstances. At the end of the day, that was still her family—a family who loved, spoiled, and protected her—so it made sense that she’d want to protect them and her people as well.
I also think she did a great job understanding his trauma—the pain and loss he carried for so long.
I truly commend the male lead for being able to let go of all that hurt and hate. Realistically, most people wouldn’t be able to do that. I gave his character a lot of grace because the amount of pain and trauma he had to work through was heavy. I even tried to understand his less-than-kind actions toward her in the beginning—they were both guarded and didn’t trust each other at first.
But overall, it was a good watch for me. I loved seeing a strong male and female lead who grew to love each other despite everything. That kind of dynamic is honestly rare in C-drama land, so I really enjoyed it.

Same, I dropped it for a little bit because I didn’t feel like waiting everyday to watch 1 or 2 episodes. I want to be able to skip all her scenes 😭. So I just picked it back up at episode 15 again today since I just finished watching Prisoner of Beauty.
Ming Tan is coming off as desperate and lukewarm to me and it's not only disgusting but annoying. You asked the…
Her character is a mess. I don’t think it’s a bad storyline but the writer could have done a better job developing the FL character. Just shallow, conceited and selfish.
I’ve watched 100s of Chinese dramas and this is probably like the 3rd or 4th drama I’ve watched where I can’t STAND the FL. Like her character attitude is not even like able to me. I’m watching for SWL and he’s the only reason why I’ve tried watching this drama ughhh!
But you pressed! You took time out of your day to comment. All you had to do was keep scrolling. Y'all are so weird on this dang website when you don’t agree with someone’s comment LOL! Sickos
If she's the cousin, where are the parents? It also raises questions. And people married cousins back then so…
Lol, it never fails! Like I scroll on here and I see peoples comments/perspectives that I may not agree with but I respect people's opinion. I don't go commenting under their comments just because I don’t agree with it or to argue my point. Like what? It's not that serious and get a life.

Every time I come here to vent (which is from time to time) I'm not a professional commenter. I get one of your kind under my comments. I think you people forget that people are entitled to their own opinion and not everything requires a rebuttal. I take it your heart hurts for Lu Chang too? LOL! My statement still stands, but carry on. I will not be responding a second time. But go outside and touch grass today you're too invested.
I really do not feel bad for Lu Chang. He literally put himself in this situation. He could have easily taken her as his cousin or adopted cousin. What did he think was going to happen when he came to capital? The capital of all places filled with Nobles and people also looking for her. Also, the very evidence he is now looking for he could have gotten it from FL father had he married her. The father told him he would give him something he was looking for LOL. This ML character is very short sighted he is so hell-bent on exonerating his master that dude can't even see clearly. He has made one bad decision after another. I really don't care for their storyline. Prince Rui and ShuJun storyline is more interesting 🙄.
Rewatching this drama because I thought it was a very lovely drama minus the ending. And I just love looking at Allen Ren as an actor. This drama really made like him even more even though people say he doesn’t do any romance scenes because he’s married. I still think he does a good job with showing emotions through his eyes and the way he smiles when lookin at his FL. Just my take on him.
So we just going to ignore the fact that Noble Consort Miao is dead because of her? It’s the cause and effect of her showing her hands early to sicko father. You allowed him to plan ahead and so you effed your own plans. Blame yourself Miss girl. Then your level of arrogance , hatred is out of this world and she’s still being reckless. Stabbing him really? What a dummy! I’m so done with FL. Everything she’s been chasing a real family, a home and love is right in front of her. But she’s blinded by hatred just like her mother. So pitiful! And little Lingzhi carried that scene I almost teared up. I’m still venting my frustration y’all ignore me.
Side note: Lingzhi is the cutest little kid actress and she has done a stellar job. Reminds me of A’li from Eternal Love and I loved that little kid 😊.
she has always been reckless. This is not something new. Her hasty decisions have consequences. Clearly, she isn't…
You are absolutely right about her being reckless. And I’ll tell what led her there arrogance and she showed her hands too early. Just very silly FL character at this point. I wish her the best 😂
This FL character has grown so arrogant that it has made her stupid. She is so consumed with hatred that heck even a 5 year old have more sense than her. Poor little Lingzhi just wants someone to call mom. Then all she had to do was tell the Noble Consort Miao her mother was dead and that reason would have been enough. But no let me threaten her with a hair pin OKAY. I actually see her character as a joke now the writers are really playing in our faces with this FL character. And THEN what foolish mother and daughter. Ruan Xiwen was absolutely right to give Zhou Ru Yin that empty box and told her she would end up with nothing and there was no saving her LOL! That father I have no words for him, I’m really at a loss of words. Because he’s playing the heck out of that character. Y’all please ignore me I’m not trying to go back and forth with anyone who disagree just here venting my frustration.
