Great acting from FL's actress, she was able to make us root for her and express so many emotions easily, my one critique to this show is the fact that a lot of the characters who are vital to the show feel a bit too one-dimensional, not because of how they were written but rather because of the actors' and the directors' choices, it's been a long time since I watched this but I feel like I'm used to never knowing exactly how a character will respond to situations and what they're like when interacting with others, in this show you could typically tell both things, so even if the characters are somewhat well-written, they're a bit predictable in comparison to Ruyi's Love in the Palace for example.
This show's main attractive factor is definitely the story and the suspense, you want to root for the FL and you see how smart she is so you're curious to know how she'll get out of a particular situation, it's a lot like apocathery diaries, you grow to like some of the antagonists as well but overall you kind of already know what direction the story is going.
