Finished all 24 episodes. Enjoyed all of them. Worth watching.

Good comments, but the reason why Feng Shiye was the last to be killed was that he bore primary responsibility for what happened to Mo Qingchuan. He did not start the war, his Father did, but his army killed her Father and three brothers and left the weakest Mo in charge. He turned Mo Junyo by offering his captured son. And it would seem that he is enabling her revenge by releasing her. But her revenge also removed the Empress and Gen. Cao and destabilized the Xia kingdom under an inexperienced Prince. With Mo Qingchuan married in Chu, there was really no effective force nor General able to resist his plans to invade and conquer Xia. Snake in sheep's clothing.
I do think that some viewers liked him because Feng Shiye by comparison to boyish sensitive Xia Qiguang was a more commanding and virile person.

You have to go back to ep. 5 - 00:46 when Gen. Qingchuan and Chen Siqi are cornered at the Chuanhe Inn by the Chu Army and Feng Shiye. The same scene if continued in ep.13 - 02:53 where Feng Shiye confronts Mo Chigchuan at that inn where she has killed 1,000 soldiers. Feng Shiye tells her if she dies, she will not find out who betrayed her. So she surrenders. They made a deal that she would later be released, but kept in thrall by poison that needed constant antidotes. Ep. 13 21:53 And it is revealed that after 3 years she must return to Chu to marry him. (The female doctor removed the poison) I don't think the Chu poison is the reason why she lost her power. Ep. 7 During the fight with the assassin team, we see that she must touch her neck to activate the Dawn Break. Ep. 7 - 24:19 Dr. Fang Du says that her current weakness is due to the wounds suffered imprisoned in Chu. But she also says that there are two inner powers in her. One is Dawn Break but there is another that gives her power that heals but also corrodes. The two don't balance, so she riskes her life by using Dawn Break.
Feng Shiye knows that Mo Qingchuan never loves him and is like an untamed eagle that he desires as a prize, not a partner. All of the terms were his but she would never carry them out. Hence the final duel where she kills him.

Ep. 1 3:07. When Mumu is leaving, her Mom says, "He is not your brother and your'e not his sister."

The third mystery at the dance hall had some good moments.

Pretty good. I'm following it. Caught up to ep. 13. Not a great drama but the three leads work well together.

There may temporarily be a problem with ep. 10. For a day or two it was cut at the 4-5 minute mark. But today 11 Dec it seems OK. Possibly it has to do with children.

The three leads complement each other well. Mystery three begins at ep. 11. Worth a look.

Episode 1 Not bad. No dummies among the leads and each has something to prove.

Miraculously, Wen Yueqian survived the fall, and alongside her, Xiao Jin, unwilling to meet his end, was also resurrected. From that moment on, their fates became intertwined.

We can agree to disagree. Thank you.

I think that the contrast between the ML and FL's story is due to the script writing. The goal for Guan Cen is his quest to discover the fate of his missing sister so we can understand his actions. Lu Yizhen's motivation is less clear to us. She started by fighting with the ML then being given chances to investigate. Guan Cen often lets her take the lead or often asks her opinion. And their romance is given a back seat. Revenge against the smiling man, proving herself as a female constable, or becoming an inspector, could have been used, but perhaps would have diluted the story.

I suspect that ZY comes across as a younger sister and SY comes across as an older sister. I like both.

Sorry, but she suspected way before that. Ep. 7 28:30. When she raised her hand before his face, her fingers mimicked showing the Man in Black's eye behind the mask. And earlier in ep. 4, 37:00 she allowed Jin'an to drink blood from the cut in her neck. In ep. 2 25:00 the Man in Black reveals that he knew that she was going back to the Changfeng Army camp meaning that he is probably someone in the camp and then he drinks her blood. She makes the connection but waits to discern his intentions.

The pistols used in the last gunfight are Browning/Inglis Hi-Power, (Guan Cen) Walther PPK (Lu Yizhien) and Mauser C96 - box magazine before the trigger - (Bad guys)

Do you think the hysterics was the Princess' subconscious emerging too?

Thank you.

Seems another souls switching is in order. But perhaps now that the two know the drill, will exploit it to their advantage.
