The production and scriptwriter could've done better. The early stage of the story kinda confused me (probably just me), where He Yan just spawn as General Fei Hong and make me kinda confused like why her family especially her dad and bro just wanted her die out of nowhere. Moreover, I think the early stage of the story is too rushed, should've more background story before getting starting her journey. Well, it's a truly amazing film and will hardly move on from this drama! However, the plot armour is just kinda... too much...?

One of the important point is that He Yan is more involved in the political situation (inside and mostly outside the government) with her family and plotting how she's gonna face the people she met. Tactically not so much shown in this drama, the only tactically master (while facing the army of her enemy) she did was while using dummies to get arrows, kinda Zhu GeLiang's tactic🗿.

For me through this whole serial drama, there is NO boring episodes, each of them is really exiciting (for me at least)!!!
For anyone who loved romance stories with caring too much about the story and plot about wars, THIS IS THE ONE!!! The fighting scenes are great! but not tactically as general. I've been a big fan of Zhou Ye this few years, this drama's main leads, BOTH Zhou Ye as He Yan and Cheng Lei as Jiao Xue, the roles fit them so well. I don't know how to describe it but the chemistry of them both are insane! Especially from Zhou Ye, I felt like something different from her this time. The way they acted so great feels so natural especially Zhou Ye. I'm want to ship them so much. I'm not a really big fan of romance drama, but I watched every Zhou Ye's drama, I'd say this couple (just from the leads) is just PEAK throughout this year!!!

The soundtrack and music, I enjoyed jt so much the melody is so nice. Found the instrumental musics in Spotify and it's great!

Overall I'd give it a 10, too little for 9.5 and too much for 10 actually, should've give this a 9.7 due to that early stage of the story, but it's covered well when passed a few episodes. I love the couple SOOOOO MUCH!!!🥹😭🙏 THEY'RE TOO CUTE!! literally had me crashout while both of them are in action!!! As a big fan of Zhou Ye, so happy to see her lively and happy while watching the compilation of the behind the scenes🥰🫶

And for the production and scriptwriter team... YOU COULD'VE MAKE THIS THE BEST FILM OF THE YEAR!!! You the best actor and actress for the role, and a lot of great support roles especially the one I forgot to mention is Zhang Kang Le as Chu Zhao! Come on production team, I won't say you bottled it, but you owe Zhou Ye and Cheng Lei the best drama of the year!
