Thanks to cdramas… i never wanna be a king.
Before i start the paragraphs a simple review of it all from my side:
👑👑Chronology kinda flows like~~👑👑
🌸 1 — Loved Yixiao — it was her story till around episode 10-15
⚔️ 2 — Then Suige slowly stepped in, and the spotlight started to shift
💞 3 — After that? Their love story bloomed…
💀 4 — …which soon turned into a full-blown revenge saga
🌹 5 — Suige, the emperor, Murong, and the PM ruled the middle arc —
while Yixiao still managed to steal every frame she appeared in,
just through her gestures, presence, and quiet strength 😂 — Meanwhile, the Xia Jinshi and Jinxiu squad? Fully exited the “main character” zone
🌧️ 7 — Flashbacks, justifications, and sufferings followed…
💢 8 — Then came the killing spree
🥀 9 — The princess’s tragedy.. and xia mad brothers
🌤️ 10 — And finally — healing, answers, and a touch of utopia as yixiao shines~~
Well because of the middle heavy part and focus on susha politics ..
suige was kinda the main link..
so it might feel yixiao's presence a bit dimmer..
but she was never in any moment less cooler.. graceful, elegenat, invinciable in it all
👑👑Reasons I Dropped :👑👑
I have this talent — I drop dramas right before the end if I feel emotionally done or get tired, the ending gets predictable, or I accidentally read spoilers 🙃. Sometimes I already feel “mentally complete.”
Maybe someday I’ll just randomly finish the last six episodes.
👑👑Why i gave 9?👑👑
Because it had a lot of things u don't find easily in all dramas..
a consistent strong fl.. for Li qin alone it deserves it
a good ml who doesnt want to change or lectures fl
good backstory for wrongdoers
nice try to give a good message to people
and the sister becomes the empress i heard~~
For their cool experiments alone i wanna praise for efforts
👑🌳Below isn’t exactly a “review” —
more like random, sarcastic thoughts
that hijacked my brain mid-drama.👑🌳
🌳🌳About the Jinxiu/xias/prinesss part:🌳🌳
Weiran really said he didn’t expect her to turn so vicious? 😒
At least Xia Jinshi had the sense to admit fault.
And calling her stupid? Please. Classic move. The moment a woman stands up for herself or stops tolerating nonsense — suddenly she’s “emotional” or “crazy.” 🙄🔥
The princess and the Xias are in a completely different show — genre-hopping every ten minutes. Honestly, Bigg Boss: Dynasty Edition 😂
Still, after her rebirth, the princess’ dialogues hit hard — one second I adore her, the next I wanna knock her out (affectionately).
🌳🌳Emperor death:🌳🌳
The emperor truly had no respect for the empress — didn’t even consider her capable of anything 😤.
Bro, you and your son just killed her father in the morning… and then she comes to you, asking for a favor, and you deny everything?
And you think she still loves you so much that she wants to comb your hair one last time? 😳
How self-obsessed must someone be, how blind to others’ feelings, how convinced of everyone else’s inferiority, to let that happen — or to refuse it?
Either he knew and let her, which is unbelievably cruel, or he didn’t, which makes him just… a worthless, selfish man 🖤.
🌳🌳Moral part:🌳🌳
I don’t think struggles always turn you wicked — though they definitely leave their mark 🕯️.
You could say Yixiao didn’t lose herself because she had her sworn brother by her side 🤝.
But then again, even the emperor had his family. He must’ve shared those sweet, tender moments too… and yet look how differently they turned out. 🍂
🌳🌳Action part:🌳🌳
Not Suige out there cutting people like he’s chopping vegetables 😭🔥
His swordplay was insane — smooth, precise, almost poetic — but sorry, Suige… Yixiao stole the show for me 😩💥
The moment she pulled out that tiny knife — boom blast
If Suige is the player, then Yixiao is his ultimate cheat code — the one that gives infinite power, unlimited life ~~
🌳🌳Editing:🌳🌳
These historical people...........
Why do they always wake up in the dead of night, speak in poetic riddles like they’re decoding fate itself, and then— boom —out of nowhere, a kiss??
Like bro, I was just eating in peace, not emotionally prepared. Now I’m mourning both my sandwich on my keyboard and my sanity.
🌳🌳Murong part:🌳🌳
Murong’s father desperately begged ...in return for his lifelong loyalty and friendship — Maybe the emperor or Suige could’ve helped. But when Suige had to decide whether to forgive Yao, I’m not the one to judge him.
However when they killed the emperor and Yao, it became crystal clear: the uncle’s love was fake. If he truly loved Suige, he wouldn’t have killed him so mercilessly — and felt no remorse.Earlier, it was hard to believe Yao was even his son. Blood really doesnt lie~~. Still, being ignored and pushed into a corner can twist a person, when no hears ur desperate cries; don’t live overly submissive like Murong’s uncle only to explode later — that sudden burst is dangerous.
A bit of patience and on observation would have helped.. man's old and wise right?
no one's talking about your son right now; everyone’s busy with their own problems. Wait a while; maybe they’ll forget. If not, it’s not too late to beg later. Let your son face some punishment — it might actually help. As a parent, don’t hide everything. I know he was trying to save his life and would have accepted exile...still
I laughed when he gave that speech to the empress — said he was founding member of empire and now he’s part of making the new emperor? What are you trying to say? You killed the first founder you helped make; isn’t that saying you’d kill the next emperor too?
Warning: don’t befriend the Murong family. Not worth it.
P.S: Thanks to cdramas… i never wanna be a king anymore.
TMI: I liked the ending music so i am singing with hindi lyrics into the tune~~
