I have binge-watched this drama in 2 days with rather little sleep because I was so enraptured by it. If not for the weird scene cutting (some bits were simply missing), I’d say it was PERFECT! The acting, visuals, production, costumes, writing, and pace - all of these were so on point!
The characters were so HUMAN! Not everybody was just purely good or bad. Most had their faults and qualities. Very many of the characters had depth and growth as real people would, learning from their experiences and environment.
Loved the FL & ML. Just like they mentioned it in the drama, Ruo’er was the cause for Chumu’s learning and becoming a better person, and he was her effect in finding somebody she could love, admire, and be protected by. This is what love is supposed to be about: making us better people, be it love of God, country, friends and family, or our spouses.
Actually this beautiful story reminded me a lot of the Story of Minglan. The very smart and kind-hearted ladies started an avalanche in the male leads’ hearts and by that saved the nation later on.
Loved Chumu’s brothers, sister, parents, and brother in law. Their whole family had such a beautiful relationship. I can honestly say I’ve seen very few dramas, which had depictions of such tight family bonds, and I’ve watched hundreds by now. The Princess that wants to become his sister in law is a perfect addition to this bunch.
The empress and emperor have amazed me with their actions both in a good and a bad way and that goes to show that they behaved like human beings. Great script writing, that’s all I can say.
The Princes’ actions at the end really warmed my heart. If I were their mother/father I’d be so proud of them.
Of course I can’t not mention Lu YingYing. What an awesome woman. If only more people were like her irl, how good life would be.
I have finished watching this drama, being on Xu Kai drama binge watch like many others haha. I enjoyed it a lot,…
The ending was rather satisfying and I agree with some other users that they chose to stay in the mystical realm not because she was unwell (I’m 100% certain she got cured), but because they prefer the harmonious life there. I hope the Old Man will get his wish for a grandchild soon enough haha
I have finished watching this drama, being on Xu Kai drama binge watch like many others haha. I enjoyed it a lot, was very surprised how quickly the FL & ML got together in comparison to other dramas, but then got disappointed by the turn of events once they went back to the real world. However, they kept longing one for another, so I was hopeful that they would find their way to each other, and they did indeed! Ending in spoiler
OK i gotta put this out there cause ive been seeing this in cdrama and kdrama recently. Idk any girl that get…
For people with ovarian issues (not just PCOS), the first few days of their menstruation can be really bad. In the past, when I had such issues, I once even vomited, I was in so much pain. Ibuprofen, paracetamol, etc none of these even help me anymore. I could only take much stronger naproxen or co-codomol (prescription only) to deal with it sometimes.
I still can get pretty bad cramps for the first day, and sometimes do turn rather pale from the pain. The drama didn’t exaggerate at all if you ask me.
P.S. For all the young girls out there, please sleep on time at night and have a healthy life style to avoid ovarian issues later on. Take it from somebody who didn’t follow that advice and struggled with these issues for many years.
I found her Tong Yao very on point with the character description in the novel. And her smiles were very versatile, from embarrassed, shy, apologetic, sarcastic, to happy and ecstatic ones. I actually liked her pouts, they do make you want to dote on her haha
Okay, so we got many embraces and hand holding, but not even one lip kiss! Couldn’t they show at least one kiss??…
If I could give you a billion likes I would! This was so good!!! Ah how I wish they didn’t have censorship! Having watched this deleted scene, some of the dialogue (regarding the lost watch) later on in the series actually makes sense.
And LMAO at Xu Kai! Classmate: Have you seen his dads watch? Xu Kai’s char. after kissing Bai Lu: Do I look like I’ve seen it?
Really enjoyed this. Aside from the crazy antics of the ML & FL, their classmates are really entertaining to watch…
Okay, so we got many embraces and hand holding, but not even one lip kiss! Couldn’t they show at least one kiss?? After the crazy make out session in the Legends, we know for sure that kissing isn’t a problem for Bai Lu & Xu Kai /sigh
Really enjoyed this. Aside from the crazy antics of the ML & FL, their classmates are really entertaining to watch as well. I really liked how they actually allowed for the characters to develop and at the end of their journey they found friendship, understanding, loyalty, and devotion among many other important life values.

I can’t wait for “She and her perfect husband” with him and Yang Mi. It’s a modern drama and the trailer looks really good!
It’s almost finished. Within a few weeks they should complete the translation.
