A very well-written and well-acted story.
The story follows a modern-day girl who is transported back in time into the body of an aristocrat's daughter—a young woman who forced a prince to marry her. The prince disliked her, largely due to the original Ruan Xiaofeng's personality; naturally, the girl who has taken her place possesses a completely different character. The original Ruan Xiao Feng died after falling from a tower, in a manner similar to the mother of Prince Li Rui.
The question arises as to whether someone wanted to kill the female lead—as suggested by flashbacks to her memories—and why that death resembled the demise of the Emperor's favorite concubine, the prince's mother.
When the main characters begin investigating this mystery, people suddenly appear who want to silence them. From what might seem like a chance event, a web of court intrigues and the conflicting interests of various figures emerges.
This brings the two closer together, and together they begin to solve the case of the death of their concubine, which likely led to the assassination attempt on FL.
It begins a very enjoyable romance featuring great chemistry between the leads. Both main actors deliver excellent performances: Deng Kai perfectly portrays a reserved and cautious prince, while Smile Wei plays an energetic, intelligent young woman from the modern world. The couple is truly likable. It is rare for both main characters to be "green flags" at heart. It makes for a very pleasant viewing experience, fosters empathy for them, and makes the positive ending something to look forward to.
The story is very well written; few dramas—even big-budget ones—adhere to logic as well as this one does. The plot is engaging, and the actors do a great job despite the clearly tiny budget; there is no sense of amateurishness while watching, which can sometimes happen with short dramas. Even most of the supporting cast approached their roles with great competence.
