I watched this drama just because... but I'm truly glad I did! It turned out to be quite a captivating watch.
This is the story of a woman named Mei Lin (ML) and Prince Murong Jing He (JH).
The story begins with a devastating fire that destroys Qingzhou, with JH accused as the perpetrator. In the chaos, ML loses her entire family and vows revenge. She joins the Shadow Works, enduring grueling training to become an assassin. When she finally graduates, her very first mission is to kill JH.
ML takes on the identity of one of the Xiyan beauties to get close to her target. She successfully infiltrates his circle, but soon discovers a shocking truth—the mastermind behind her mission is actually JH himself.
It turns out JH orchestrated everything in order to uncover the real perpetrator behind the Qingzhou fire. Now, working together, ML and JH dive into the investigation to seek justice for Qingzhou.
As they spend time together, their relationship slowly shifts from one of deception and hostility to trust and even affection. ML’s hatred turns into reliance, and JH finds himself genuinely drawn to her.
But can they uncover the full truth about what happened in Qingzhou? Will justice be served—and what about their relationship? Will the Emperor ever approve of their love?
That's pretty much the story without giving the spoiler. Now what I like and don't.
What I like:
+ Good chemistry between Liu Xue Yi & Wu Jin Yan.
+ A pleasant surprise to see Bi Wen Jun in the role of the second male lead—I’m actually happy he’s part of this drama.
+ The ending! Loved how they gave us an alternative ending within the final episode—no extra specials needed.
What I don't too like:
- At times, the development of the relationship between JH and ML feels too rushed. The way ML’s deep-seated hatred simply fades away, after everything she’s been through, seems a bit too easy and unrealistic.
Overall this is really one good drama to watch
