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.

Yawn
I watched this for ZLY.I stopped because the story got too tedious. Maybe I don't relate to this genre.
Maybe I will try again. Maybe because ZLY is one of my favorite actress. LGX was better in "My Bargain Queen". Here, he just smirks and struts. Trying to look wise but somehow he's sickly all the time. The AI bird just don't make it either. Got too irritating.

I tried to continue after finishing Season 1
More of the same from Season 1. You can not watch S2 without watching S1. The story continues, and gets more bizarre. S1 ended with a supposedly cliff hanger. Maybe it would have been better if FX was not revived .....just saying.This time even Lin Wan Er lost her allure from S1. At least there was some emotional depth from her in S1. I just could not continue as I did for the entire 46 episodes of S1, just to catch more glimpses of her.
