Despite the alternate ending, I’m still sticking with the original one as the real ending. Either way, I’m…
lol - they both committed premeditated murder. But I agree with you that 1st ending was enough and made sense. All did their roles fabulously. Shuddering just thinking about these two.
Finally finished, pretty much binged they through it. It is a very enjoyable drama for those who enjoy good acting, faithful devotion and overcoming all odds. Lots of good comparisons of individuals who activity balance their hearts many goals - whether it be love, power, peace, revenge,etc. very grim which is fitting for an assassin drama. I’m surprised it was filmed so long ago (2018). The quality is pretty good compared to some dramas in 2025.
Alright - because I need to see more Wang Duo after Blemish Flaw, I'm here. So far the first few eps are pretty darn intriguing. Our prince so far is mysterious. They also did a good job LYT looking her character's young age.
Haha… I really enjoyed it and respect all the characters (heroes, villains, side characters, main leads, and extras). Well played by all actors. Only the emperor was inconsistent for me.

Awesome!! This is why we love him (beyond just his looks).
Love one of the responses: “ Reading this Weibo post brought tears to my eyes. Thank you, thank you for letting me know that in this superficial Chinese entertainment industry, there is still an actor who is so dedicated and willing to study and understand their roles. Yes, the audience can feel it. When I watched it, I felt that the actor had put so much effort into creating the character, so I recommended it to my friends three times. I told them they must watch it, that you are a good actor, and that you truly never disappoint.”
