The best C drama ML and FL ever - watch it

There are several minor spoilers in characters description. But show is a must watch. So watch it.
If you are not sure, then read below why you should. You are reading a review, so you are thinking weather its worth your time and below is described why it is to help you decide.

Where to event start, everything was perfect. I love all the characters from the show. But the lead 4 are actors to be remembered. Wang Xing Yue, Wu Jin Yan, and Liang Yong Qi and Li Meng.

ML - Duke Su
He is everything you ever wanted a man to be. He is everything every boy would fantasise to become. I guess whomever wrote the character just went for that. Also the actor himself, director knew how to emphasise him. Those eyes!! He is smart, has humor, capable, perceptive, informed, has integrity, character, and so on... You would trust this guy with your life. Also his two side kicks are awesome.

FL - Jiang Li / Xue Fang Fei
She is everything a girl ever wants to be. Smart, capable, talented, educated, elegant, beautiful, kind, good person, genuine. And she navigates hardships with no stage fright and no fear at all. On the other side during her battle she doesn't lose track of her own integrity, and she is righteous. And she is very feminine.

ML & FL relationship
The best flirts and dialogues of C drama ever. Supportive of each other, playful but not deceptive. Slow burn, but not to slow. Inside jokes. You can see the character development, change on both sides as they grow towards one another. If you ever had true love, that is how it feels like. Effortless, just being yourself and magnets just go crazy.

Villains - Shen Yurong and Princess
Shen Yurong could be a show of his own, perfect villain story. Very expressive actor, super hot. Torn between feelings, love, ambition, family, grievance, melancholic, so many emotions in his face. amazing. The princess - wow. I've never been afraid of any villain in the show as her. She is very unpredictable.

The plot
- no wuxia, xanxia, exaggerated stuff
- watch even the palace intrigues scenes, in this show they are important clues, and will make you fall hard for FL
- FL and ML make no mistakes - yes!! they don't become dumb and do stupid things - this is very important
- villains are layered and they are interesting and you will love them too
- the plot has a good pace

Minus - but everything else is so good that you won't feel it
- I've would have cut down on the stepmom scenes - that is a bit predictable and overused, disney level character
- to little of ML and FL scenes - you will not have enough of them
- the last 10 min ending is a bit rushed and is not fair towards the rest of the show.

The worst thing about this show is you'll find nothing even close as good.
