I know a lot of people found themselves frustrated with how long it took Xihe to accept Huayong, but in the novel, it took her far longer, and she was much colder. Additionally, Huayong was much more ruthless. So in my opinion, they softened up both characters a lot. That being said, I really liked how Huayong's character didn't act like he was entitled to Xihe's love just because he was good to her. I feel like that's rare in a lot of dramas. Another thing I liked was how they added more to Shulin and Jinbai's story. It was nice to see how he found out about the pregnancy. Honestly, I don't really have many complaints. Are there some things that could be improved? Sure, but overall, I enjoyed watching this.

I rate this an 8/10 because it was an enjoyable watch that didn't stress me out too much. It was also fun watching people guess who was behind the poison. Do I recommend watching this? Yes, if you aren't the type to expect immediate romance. If you like your butterflies/romance to occur right away, then...maybe skip this? It'll make you upset.
