Good Drama Full of Tropes
The first scene of this drama already captivated me. I love stories about second reincarnations, and I really liked the protagonist Xueying, mainly because she's an intelligent woman who fights (physically, lol) for what she wants.
The love interest, Lu Junxing, doesn't initially appeal to me, but as the story unfolds, it's hard not to fall for him.
The only thing I didn't like about this drama is that the protagonist ALWAYS seems to be one step ahead, and when she's tricked, she quickly manages to turn the tables. Initially it's fun, but then it takes away some of the drama from the story.
I also found the villains quite caricatured in a way, largely following the formula: this character is bad, so nothing ever goes right for them.
Overall, I liked the series; it's a good historical drama. It does what it sets out to do, and it does it well.
I'm going to PRETEND that the ending didn't exist, because honestly, WTF.
