Did I over rate this? Maybe. Did I enjoy it all the way through? Yes. Does it have issues? Yes. On with the review.

I really did enjoy this drama all the way through and found none of it really boring. That is what I try to go by for dramas anymore is did I get through it without being bored and asking what the heck was that it makes no sense. This drama was great especially when it first starts out it pulls you in with what is going to happen next, but through the story line its like they lost all focus on where this story was going.

The first big thing is that they make the ML out to be this big Marquis that everyone both fear and respect, and you don't really know why because he gets thrown into the background of the FL. I loved this FL she did great with her character and this is the first drama I have watched her in and would love watching her again. I loved her character so much in this, but did the over power her when it comes to the ML yes they did. She is a butcher girl that has been raised with the most normal of child hoods she could have until her world is thrown upside down with her parents death. Does she have unusual strength yes she does, did her father teach her how to fight yeah he did, but I still don't think that would make her be able to take out such a strong general that has more battle history then she does. I agree with another review that I read where they talk about the fight with the general and then her not being able to pull up both Qiao Qiao and Qi Min. Granted did she want to see Qi Min die yes he is a horrible character (Will get more into his character), but the FL has this strength but yet couldn't do this simple act makes no sense. So how did she kill a general with it being her first battle she was in?

I personally think they should of also focused a bit on the ML's story you don't get to really know too much about him. I get this was more focused on the FL, but you don't get to see what makes the ML even really important to this story. I loved the chemistry between Zhang Ling He and Tian Xi Wei, but also felt like the love story between them was also put on the back burner at times. Would of just loved to see more. Also just wish they would of done more with Zhang Ling He in general love watching him and love most of his dramas.

Now on to the Sui brothers. Two of the most toxic characters ever, but I'm sorry I have to say I loved them. They were great and I enjoyed their stories sometimes more then the actual story. Deng Kai and Lin Mu Ran played these characters amazingly. Would also really love to see Deng Kai and Snow Kong in another drama together their whole dynamic was toxic but the chemistry between these two shined through that I wish in some ways Qi Min would of turned himself around through his hardships for Qiao Qiao just to see more of their chemistry. I am becoming a fan of Deng Kai the more I watch him.

All in all it had its flaws anymore what drama doesn't, but was it a good watch yes it kept me interested all the way through it just to see what was going to happen. Oh have to say something about the kids before I almost forgot. Those two little kids were adorable and gave amazing performances. They were just so cute especially with Bao'er saying he will make Changning his empress. So cute!!
