If you haven't watched this, you're missing out.
This is my first cdrama, and it did not disappoint at all. I had stopped watching any series because I struggled to finish them, but this one pulled me right back into binge-watching. I even subscribed and got VIP access just to watch the latest episodes!The slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers trope is perfectly portrayed by Liu Yuning and Song Zuer. Their insane chemistry will have you blushing during their scenes. We love a strong man who can fight, but we love even more a woman who's brilliant with strategy.
Great pairing and an engaging storyline. The ending felt a bit rushed, probably due to some scenes being cut, but overall, it's definitely worth a rewatch.

This drama delivers one of the most enjoyable viewing experiences I have had in a long time. The comedic timing is exceptional, and I found myself laughing more than I ever have while watching a series. While there are minor concerns regarding the writing and certain aspects of the plot execution, the overall quality of the production more than compensates for those shortcomings.
Although I would have appreciated more scenes featuring Nan Heng and Song Yi Meng, the narrative decision to avoid focusing solely on romance was a refreshing change. As Song Yi Meng herself remarks in the drama, it raises the question of why romantic elements often dominate storytelling.
Liu Yuning once again demonstrates his versatility and talent as an actor. His performance is compelling, and I look forward to seeing him in future roles involving political intrigue or complex character dynamics. Li Yitong also delivers a strong performance, portraying emotion with authenticity and depth. Their on-screen partnership benefits from the fact that both actors are of similar age, which adds a layer of realism to their chemistry.
This drama reminds us that life is like a script. The real question is: will you leave your fate in someone else’s hands, or will you choose to write your own story?

Tissues. You need tissues.
After watching TPOB, I immediately jumped into this one and oh my god. Those were the exact words that came out of my mouth the moment I saw Ren Ru Yi. She has that aura and composure we love a badass woman.I loved how her character gradually opened up to Yuan Zhou. And seriously, what’s with Liu Yuning and his insane chemistry with all his female leads? He never misses.
But oh boy, the last five episodes shattered me into pieces. I had already seen the spoilers, but that didn’t stop me from bawling my eyes out at 2 a.m. I guess even fairytales can have tragic endings.
P.S. I’ve rewatched this so many times, and I still cry every single time.
