Recommendable Chinese Costume Drama

I love this drama because of its plot - a woman torn between protecting her father's family and supporting her husband's interest. She set her heart into doing both.

There are no boring episodes in this drama, but I do have a favorite - episode 20. Manman, the FL, was married to the Lord of Wei, Wei Shao, for political reasons and not a marriage by love. By this episode, they have been through many things, and she has consistently been a help to her husband, whom she calls “My lord.”
In this episode, she vowed to Wei Shao that she would follow him with the loyalty of a subject:

“I will remain loyal to you with genuine sincerity and never leave you. I will stand by your side.”

In a world where women seek empowerment, I still find it beautiful and womanly that a woman would support her husband’s endeavors like this.
It’s a good thing that Manman was married to a man who has innate good intentions toward the people, for she, too, married him so she could protect her people.

I've been rewatching this drama because I really love how each characters are portrayed - the ML, FL, and the supporting characters especially the generals!
