This review may contain spoilers
The Princess plot was quite interesting.
I watch this drama last December and it was actually still watchable aspects as flaws, so let's list them directly.
The kissing scenes between the ML and FL are solid, both passionate and intense.ML is incredibly charming and manipulative-green tea verified, leaving her ex-husband helpless. Li Zijie was a good kisser.
The political intrigue in the later stages was rushed; the verbal sparring should have been reduced, focusing more on the strategic maneuvering. Too many plot elements, and they were all old tropes, making it quite confusing when you watch this.
I quite like Princess back story (it was actually this drama strong point), you might think she's an insignificant plot device, but she actually has a unique mindset. Not only does she plot a rebellion, but she also wants to be with the FL. In reality, the Princess's rebellion is only because she secured peace through a marriage alliance, but upon returning home, she's condemned for her chastity. FL has a reputation for chastity, and the Princess believes she's only pure when she's with her.
The princess's ending was also good. Although she rebelled, she was ultimately allowed to become the empress. People understood her grievances and hardships, and didn't look down on her. Just like the FL said, a woman's chastity is never beneath her skirts. ML hides multiple identities, only revealed at the end.
Recommended to watch.
