Zhao LS is the MFL
I started watching it because of ZLS. The story line just got too tedious after a while so i stopped.Acting was mediocre and the storyline not exactly the most exciting. There's not much twists and suspense to keep me looking forward to the next episode. Even the "chemistry" between the leads were at best good acting rather than genuine connection.
I also find myself rewatching previous episodes because I lost track of the story. After a while I stopped because the details didn't really matter.

Watch this for Yang Zi.
The only good reason to continue watching this is for Yang Zi. The only other reason is to complete the series from Fluorished Peony.The most envied actor must be Li Xian. Unless there is real life chemistry, there are many instances of sizzling on screen chemistry between him and Yang Zi. The villain serves to irritate more than being hateful. However more irritating than the villain must be the character, Liu Lang
The story tempo changes from draggy to incredulous plot twists. Its literally impossible to die despite the multitude of apparently violent injuries inflicted. Except the last death where a simple stab is adequate.

Watch this for Yang Zi and Peonies
The biggest reason to watch this drama is Yang Zi. There are more than enough twists and turns in the plot to keep going to the next episode. There's also much confusion as to the relationship between Prince Ning, the Emperor and San Lang. The other members of the cast are good at best with the more outstanding character being Zhu Fu.Overall the storyline is simplistic, incredulous but entertaining nonetheless. There's enough to ensure that one continues watching Season 2, In the Name of Blossom.
Other than Yang Zi, the peonies are incredibly beautiful.

A FL who grows into role.
The storyline has enough twists to keep binging. The domestic intrigues were more captivating than the court manoeuvrings. There were too many gaps of credibility especially wrt Shenyuan's abilities and the overly psychotic preoccupation with Yinning and Lu JX relationship that had many sketchy details left hanging.Ren Min got better and grew into her role. The supporting were often as captivating especially Dong SY as Yixiu. The maids and Bro gang were great, too, esp Qing Qu. Not sure what was the purpose of Cheng Lang.

FL is Beautiful.
The basic storyline, where both ML and FL had switched identities had great potential that were not well developed. There's much confusing major details that didn't make sense.How did the FL and ML ended up journeying together to the capital? A father not recognising his son? Confusing time frames, e. g. Yan Lin seem to know JXN way before XW but they kinda arrive in the capital simultaneously....
What exactly is XW's disease that is so incapacitating at times and yet is miraculously absent at the end?
The Emperor, Lord Linzi and Princess are siblings. With different degrees of friends...... YL knowing JXN long time but Prince only meeting JXH later. Same for relationships between Princess, YL, XW and JXN etc. It's like these people exist within their own specific time frames that may or may not overlap.
Within a short time period, not well chronicled, XW arrived and rose to be the most trusted advisor to the Emperor. Its not clear how this happened. And of course it happened with him incognito to the Emperor.
And the baddies are just so underwhelming and totally undeserving of the heroic exploits of the good guys.
There's enough to keep moving on to the next episode .....much prob due to a forlorn hope that the storyline would fill up the gaps ....or to the enigmatic FL.
