Xia Mengs performance as a crazy princess is awesome! I love hows shes carrying herself, but what a shame, her…
She is living up to Li Qin's performance as the deranged princess. She is literally out-acting all the other actors, with only five episodes into the drama. I think her career took off after Parallel World, which was my first time seeing her and Li Yun Rui.
I’m only two minutes in and the story already doesn’t make sense. They’re in the middle of a fight—who…
With that high mound of corpses, the total weight should have cracked the ice already. I couldn't figure why anyone would have piled up the dozens of bodies.
I just started watching episode 1, but I had to drop by for a second to comment on Yan Xun, the desperate, deluded prince, already presenting the wedding dress to Chu Qaio in the first seventeen minutes of the first episode.
By far one of the best k dramas of all time, without any doubts. Amazing ❤️
I still remember the drama plot vividly, as if it was only yesterday. Most of the dramas I watched ten years ago, I do not remember the cast or the storyline.
Because if the news were to spread that Wei Yan was in a intimate relationship with consort then his entire clan…
QI Min was really the main villain, but his charm and charisma influenced the viewers. He was also non- confrontational with Marquis Wu An,. Deng Kai deserves a trophy for his acting performance. The viewers assigned the villain role to the enigmatic Wei Yan, but he was not the mastermind of the seventeen years' old tragedy. He was a strategist and authoritarian who was keeping the dynasty afloat for the last seventeen years. He had some ambition for Marquis Wu An, but they had different views and ethics. He might have regarded Xie Zheng as a godchild.
This is the whole backstory, I wrote the comment a few hours ago and I'm just pasting it here.
Thank you for the recap. This could have been the introduction episodes to the drama, instead of random flashbacking. The viewers would understand the relevance of the old men, Wei Yan, Lord Li, Sui Changxin, Grand Tutor Tao and Wei Qilin(Fan).

Thank you for the recap. This entire subplot could have been one or two episodes, instead of random flashbacking. The viewers would understand the relevance of the old men, Wei Yan, Lord Li, Sui Changxin, Grand Tutor Tao and Wei Qilin(Fan).
The thought just came to me. Wei Yan was a villain with principles. He married the woman of his subordinate to shelter her and her unborn son. It was a convenient marriage. He ignored her, but allowed her to be the mistress of the house. The fake son thought his stepfather neglected them. Wei Yan propped up the weak emperor, to keep the dynasty intact. If there was no Boa, the dynasty would have collapsed after the lunatic Qi Min ascended the throne.
Were Qi Sheng and Qi Shu, the last two known members of the royal family? Was that why Prime Minister Wei Yan was pushing for a marriage between Qi Shu and Xie Zheng? They could replace Emperor Qi Sheng.
