I was hesitant to watch this at first since I'm a Xianxia type of watcher but dang, the episode 1 hook me in! It didn't fail me also because the fact that the FL is strong? GIRL MOTHER OF ACTIONS SHE IS ABSOLUTELY ✨🙂‍↕️

The story is your typical-revenge-for-my-family, but it has elements that makes it unique for this show because wdym the emperor is not in cahoots with the bad guys but is kind and loving for the FL? He is a rational as he is soft hearted leader (but I get you guys if some of y'all hate him edit: i think i'm starting to hate him too) but we can't dismiss the fact that he is an emperor, too at the same time he's her uncle. Not many dramas between consorts (i love consort shu btw) but I am hooked when they're investigating cases that I haven't seen in other costume dramas. I was confused with the characters, but I definitely managed along the way (there's so many extras huhuhu). The FL is so niche that she can do it all, investigating, cutting people (this is funny in my mind sorry), can acupuncture, can tell which is which ingredients of decoction by smelling but she's also kind-hearted behind it all. I love her character is how beautifully written and Bai Lu just personified it for us.

The ML? His role is one of the reasons that I kept on watching this. Baby girl MLs are so rare that this really sink me in. WDYM HE READ STARS AND ALL? His work is that????? NOT A GENERAL? A PRINCE? OR WHATEVER LEADER OF A TRIBE? OHHH COUNT ME IN!!! As the FL is beautifully written, the ML is, too. I'm in deep for head over heels ML and this one is amazing. He read stars for her; he exists for her and what is wrong with that? He may be not physically strong, but he does his best to protect the FL in his own ways. He's beyond smart; thought of ways on how to investigate without the need of the FL experimenting on herself. He brought reinforcements and always calculated everything (that I'm thinking ain't your brain fried yet? 😭) PS. I'm in no place to comment on this but will definitely still comment cos I'm just a girl, the MU of Wang Xing Yue, I really wanna call you out huhu why is Xing Yue's make up like not evenly applied? It changes in every scene (not scene I forgot how to word it out huhu) but it really did bother me cos Xing Yue's really attractive, but that makeup is so not attracting I'M SO SORRY 😭😭😭

I appreciate all the behind stories of the show but my favorite one so far is the father taking revenge for her daughter (Secrets of Auspicious Time) my mind is blown in 4 different ways, the father really plotted a revenge that deserves the word revenge. From burning his in-law's house (with them in it ofc) to killing the rich man who's the father of his grandson. He spent no expense just to bring justice for her daughter's death.

And my least favorite? The Worshipping of False Deity GIRLY SCARED THE SH-- OUT OF ME. The extras are so talented that they're creepy af. They're so out of this world creepy that my soul left too while watching them (I'm jumpy I know).

The actors definitely did great with this show especially the main leads, Bai Lu and Wang Xing Yue. But I didn't expect Dai Lu Wa was in this also since she appeared only a little on that 1 episode and showed at the latter parts (BUT HER CHARACTER IS SO FUN IN HERE I LOVE IT). From sisters in Moonlight Mystique to subordinates in this show.

I'm a bit disappointed with the music, it's not giving that "it" factor when it played in some scenes (but the intro is giving revenge vibe and the outro is healing). But I love that they omitted the unnecessary background music when the ML/FL meet iykyk.

I will definitely not rewatch it since it's a bit revenge-y but will surely watch tt edits of it cos our girly Bai Lu is so badahh in this show.

CAN'T WAIT FOR THE REMAINING EPISODES AHHHH

EDIT: DONE WATCHING!!! HAVE YOU SEEN THE EPILOGUE OF THE LAST EP??? GIRLS I THINK THERE'S ANOTHER SEASON🤯🤯
