This show was a really pleasant watching experience. I thought the pacing of the show was really good up until about episode 30 the female main character I believe was very well portrayed send was a very believable and realistic picture of a woman out for revenge yet not consumed by hate and instead seeking justice . She had moments where she was almost consumed by her grief and thirst for revenge that she almost broke the principles that she lived by, but she was able with the help of the main male character to reel herself back in. The main male character was such a good depiction of a man that stands by his values and by his choices the way he loved on the main female character was so lovely to see. He was always putting her safety in her knees ahead of his like even before he was entirely sure of you know his feelings, whether he was in love or not, he was so committed to her.

The side characters were so well done. I kept having anxiety that one of the main characters causes friends with try not to be a traitor, but that didn’t happen so I’m a see I really love the interaction of the main character with Yan Li, Bai Feng, Ning er and Fuling.

this crime mystery show had some of the best cases I’ve seen in the show of this genre. All the cases were interesting. Had you peeking your mind on who the culprit would be with the cause of death was and the reason for the murder was I think some of the latter cases were a bit rushed. But all in all, I think the cases were pretty solid in terms of a crime mystery.

even the final plot twist in the show was done so well and in such a believable manner like when the prospect of the part was first introduced, I was like huh this makes no sense, especially because the FMC had said something about some sort of face changing technique, which this is not the genre for that type of plot line typically he would see something like that in a xian xia or fantasy So I really was gearing up to be disappointed by how it was going to play out, but then the writers got me. They were able to take it and give that plot was a more logical foundation that all in all kind of makes sense.

Now, here is my problem with the show and why it’s not a 10 star. As the show progresses, you sort of get sucked into the cases Forget the overarching plotline and that it’s supposed to take place in the capital in which most of the show focuses on the characters journey to the capital. So here you have a story that is concerned about two main characters getting justice for two important family members in their lives which needs to take place in the capital and the characters don’t make it to the capital about 20. Then even when they arrive at the capital, the main plot line is still not the focus at that point in the story. The main characters are still solving other crimes in mysteries that have come up, which is great until you realize you’re about 70% into the show and the real plot line hasn’t started yet. I believe let sharp drop in the quality of the storytelling because from episode 30 things started to feel very rushed, which makes sense because now there is only eight episodes left to tell the story and uncover all the mysteries that started the show in the first place.

The empress’s daughter dropped off the face if the earth, so much fuss was made about Prince Rui and the we only see him for 2 minutes (clear some scenes were cut down), all of a sudden the empress had been working with that one person the whole time ?? (Makes no logical sense), what happened to the Qin Family ? Lots of filler stuff like honestly no one cares about the crown prince’s marriage or Prince Cheng!


All in all a good story with a rushed last few episodes
