ML acting is so flat but he looks really good in action scenes. Put him in action drama instead, please. The plot is quite different from any drama I've watched. The family was once respected, and rich. All 4 members of their male members got into ministry. But because the platriach slighted the emperor of Daxing, he and all male members above 10yo got exiled, properties and money confiscated, and the female members were left with no home, but a small villa. So the wellbeing of these female members who know nothing of businesses or making money all rest to the eldest granddaughter. Who is resilient, optimistic, book-smart, and know what to do. She lifted them off of poverty, changed the behavior of all her aunts and female cousins to leave the old habit of "money makes ones happy" while in fact they should've been invested in people instead.

Her issue got more problematic when she fell in love with the emperor's nephew who's practically a prince. And palace intrigue got into her family as well. But of course they can overcome this by showing you that love conquers all. What a cliche.

Again, I was more interested in the side characters who was not 1st dimensional. They grew, they learned their mistakes, their dropped down the arrogance, and they become loveable. While not so much changes in main characters. I find that odd. But it's good for a family drama. Not enough for a rewatch.
