This review may contain spoilers
The prince who pretends to be the husband of the "enemy's" concubine, who has lost her memory, in order to set a trap for him. She, beautiful and intelligent, was meant to be just a expendable pawn, but she becomes his Love.
But when her memory returns, she feels offended by his lies and separates from him.
Even though he confesses that he truly loves her, she doesn't want to hear of it. He follows her, helps her silently, and refuses to remarry anyone but her. On the other hand, she appears adamant about getting back together with him, but it's undeniable that she cares for him.
Then there are two other couples, the emperor and empress, and the relationship between his friend and her friend, which are very tender.
The last three episodes, where they plot to unmask the traitor, were played poorly in the sense that they staged a whole charade to lure just one person into the trap (I went from 9* to 8*). Poisonings, incarcerations... if he wanted, the villain could have easily killed them and won.
I wasn't convinced.
