sick & twisted politics and a beautiful story
this definitely exceeded my expectations, this story turned out to be a lot rich and enjoyable then i hoped
-Li rong is a diva. Shes a very complex female character, her actions may annoy you or not make sense at first, but as the story goes on, her character learns and evolves. Being a women in politics, a princess no less, she is incredibly determined, strong and persuasive.
She grew up being taught politics and power was to be prioritized over love, we've been seeing that mindset in the starting episodes, plus being a woman alone in a male dominated field is already hard as it is.
despite it she sees through the lies and games before her, she learns to love pei wenxuan and truly understand his love and his worth.
-Pei wenxuan is such a nice male lead. Cocky, sassy and easy going but surprisingly cunning and clever under the cover. His character also had a lot of layers to him, which made the show so engaging and lively. I just loved him! unlike the 2ml with his capabilities and morals, he was able to not only have Li rong but also fight for his family.
i would say his amazing character was inconsistent at times esp towards the end but all in all hes a treat
-both of them together are the cutest bickering married couple. pei wenxuan's care and love for li rong is seen so clearly, he isnt threatened by her position or dominance, he embraces it, helped her grow, not only in power but as a person too.
and li rong didnt hide her love either, both were given a second chance and used it well, using her power to help him and protect him, it was adorable to see.
-the politics in this one is great!!
they really really show exactly the twisted and dirty politics of the imperial court, every character is evil in a way they would kill others to save their own skin, even our main leads, yet their behaviors and actions are explained, and karma gets them.
if you snooze u might miss some important plot points, so its important to pay attention. The politics grabbed and lost me turn by turn, but it was enjoyable nontheless.
HOWEVER,,
-yes the 2ml is annoying ASF. his character jst felt unnecessary he was a weak villain, consort rou was a better antagonist than him. them constantly pushing 2ml and fl together was annoying as well but if you skip his scenes it'll be alr which is what i did ^^
in conclusion, its a wonderful story that balances romance and politics and is def worth a watch!!
9/10, i can see myself rewatching for peirong bcz they're jst adorable
