Happy ending ... I guess.
I watched this show a long time ago, but I left my review in the wrong section, so I decided to repost it down below.
Abbreviations: MX --> Mo Xi, WJG --> Wan Jia Gui, BFY --> Bai Feng Yao, CWD --> Chen Wen De, WY --> Wu Yin,
Complaints: Note - Major spoilers
MX starts off romanticizing WJG and how his status can free her from her life of misery, but all that ends up happening is her being deemed unworthy of him by his parents, himself, and everyone else in their society besides BFY. And in the end, she is always self-sacrificing to save both him, BFY, who only seems to know how to cry, and eventually CWD.
Saving CWD is weird because he is a general and has more experience than her, yet he could not think of a way to take down his powerful enemies, and she seems to do it in one swoop? Sure, WY helped her, and she had time to save up and infiltrate the inner circle of the bad guys as a woman, but CWD should have been smart enough in the beginning not to make it known that he wasn't on the bad guys' side. He should have pretended and gathered enough evidence and support before making his move. There were also so many times he put the men under him in danger for MX, who made it clear that he did not hold as much significance in her heart.
Also, him forcing her to be with him and forcefully kissing her?... Then she's somehow magically in love with him?
Lastly, CWD's death...how did he even survive that? We saw that WY's legitimate brother had a brain injury from falling, yet somehow, all that happens to CWD is scars on his face?
Things I liked:
Controversial, but I liked MX a lot, even though some of her actions irritated me. I also liked BFY (not her crying or unnecessary righteousness), and I liked WY. I also liked the school arc. Additionally, I liked the acting, production, and OST. Lastly, aside from when CWD is forcing himself on MX, I liked their interactions.
8.5/10 simply because I don't know if I'd rewatch this show tbh, but I do think it was a decent watch.
