I loved the entire show.

I loved everything about this drama. the story was pretty unique. it kept me engaged the entire time and I wish I could watch it again for the first time again. Liu YuNing did it again! he’s such a great actor & had great chemistry with the female lead. It started out very funny and satirical by making fun of all the typical tropes, but later on it got serious when the leads changed the script & changed their fate. none of the episodes dragged but the second male lead was highly annoying. he just couldn’t get over the fact that Song Yimeng didn’t want him and all of this was his own doing. he played the victim when really he was the villain the entire story. Liu YuNing plays the perfect “villain”/ hero. he was victimized from the start after the empress died and was cast out. the emperor was quick to blame a 10 yr old for his wife’s dead so he was sent to the border to essentially be out of the way for the 18th prince. later they realized he wasn’t behind all of the awful things that happened but it was his evil uncle who orchestrated everything. I’m so happy that Nan Heng got a second chance & a happy ending. also Liu YuNing did a wonderful job playing 3 Characters. I loved him as Li ShiLi (waning crescent chief ) which his other identity for most of the series. all of the costume were a 10/10, hanfu was made for that man. highly recommend watching this drama.
