In episodes 18-21, FL becomes increasingly stupid and idiotic. She only possesses courage but lacks brains and long-term plans. Once again, FL falls into the enemy's trap, even to the point where her best friend nearly overdoses and becomes addicted. FL is truly an idiot.
This forces ML to almost constantly help her from the very last moments of her life, saving her from the hands of her criminals.
I thought that after ML taught her martial arts in the previous episode, FL would become more skilled, but in the end, nothing happened. FL remains a complete idiot in martial arts.
Then, in the early episodes, many high-ranking imperial officials were concerned that ML would go alone to the border, abandoning his primary duties as emperor. However, in later episodes, the emperor left the imperial palace more and more frequently, only to accompany the super-dumb FL on his investigations into serious criminal cases.
Why did the FL character and main story turn out like this?
1. It's a merging soul case between Gu Qingzhi and Shen Xihe. So, now she has 2 sets of memories and life experience.…
because this tv series its nevel tell much about the past of GQZ dan SXH, also, some of the veiwers is never read the original novel, its very confusing about that.
the FL has knowing everything about the world, she is know almost everything about behind the scene in people everywhere everyday, just before she is married to the ML in the middle of this storyline.
finished the last episode, but i am still dont understand.
1. how FL can get know everything after her reborn from the death since 2-3 years ago ? 2. since when FL has becom more smart than before ?? in the previous life, she is very low profile noblewoman. 3. how FL can manage the superior intelligence on very fast network, in a very short times ? can reach everything in the world, since she is reborn in that ships and drowning ? especially, her current characters is very low profile noblewoman too.
Episodes 9-12 = The story makes absolutely no sense;
1. The female protagonist (FL) is new to the capital.
2. FL doesn't know everyone in the capital.
3. However, the male protagonist (ML) appoints her as the new head of the intelligence bureau.
4. Initially, I thought the intelligence bureau was originally a merger of many other state institutions. But then, FL was told to start from scratch, completely empty—all the staff, the bureau building, etc.
5. Meanwhile, FL is only accompanied by two assistants, a man and a woman, who both can't use a single weapon and have no martial arts skills. It turns out that FL is just as poor in self-defense.
6. To make matters worse, FL doesn't have her own special forces, but can only temporarily borrow them from the emperor's special forces.
7. So, FL went about searching for intelligence, but he couldn't do anything alone with his two assistants. And often, when he went out into the field, he had to rely on the emperor's own troops for help.
Because studying the ancient history of mainland China is full of fascinating things, one of which is the education system, including the administration of state examinations by the ruling empire at the time.
The historical facts described above are a very sad reality, so fictional historical stories appear in various mainland Chinese TV series today to cover up the dark realities, such as those that discuss the imperial state examinations for women.
This contradiction, for me, is actually one of the unique aspects of watching this genre of TV series.
Now I ask you back:
why are you angry about the historical facts above, ma'am? ^^
Officially, in the history of ancient Chinese empires, none of the mainstream imperial dynasties (such as the Tang, Song, Ming, or Qing) opened the imperial examination (Keju) system to women. Throughout the more than 1,300-year history of imperial examinations (from the Sui era to the early 20th century), this bureaucratic system was strictly male-only.
However, there are two important historical accounts that intersect with women's participation in imperial examinations outside the traditional imperial dynastic system:
1. The Reign of Wu Zetian (Tang Dynasty / Second Zhou) Context: Wu Zetian was the only female emperor in Chinese history to wield absolute power (she even established her own dynasty, the Zhou, in the middle of the Tang Dynasty).
Exam Facts: Although she strongly supported and expanded the imperial examination (Keju) system to weaken the military nobility and promote meritocracy, she never legalized the examinations for women. Women remained prohibited from registering for or taking the official imperial examinations during her reign. Nevertheless, his progressive policies towards equal education and opportunities for women in the palace significantly increased.
2. The Taiping Rebellion (Taiping Tianguo) during the Qing Dynasty Context: The Taiping Rebellion was a major armed rebellion against the Qing Dynasty in the 19th century (1850–1864).
Exam Facts: The Taiping rebel regime was the first entity in Chinese history to officially open the civil service examinations to women.
Notable Figures: The Taiping regime's women-only examination system led to the birth of Fu Shanxiang, the first woman in Chinese history to achieve the highest rank (Zhuangyuan) in the rebel-style civil service examinations. However, this regime was a rival government and was ultimately suppressed by the Qing Empire.
3. Before Sui dynasty, there is no imperial examination for women too.
1. is the father of FL and Li mao will be killed ? 2. is ML will become the emperor ? 3. if not, who is the emperor and the empress in the end of this tv series ?
K-Drama 
1. The Story of Yanxi Palace
2. Story of Minglan
3. Oh My General
only that top 3 is the best of the best.
because, the other tv series, same genre, most of times, all is disappointing in the end.
IMHO.

Why did the FL character and main story turn out like this?
Therefore, it would be very strange if ML later ordered FL to build a special bureau from scratch.
If it's the intelligence bureau, where are FL's men?
If it's the censorship bureau, why is FL's main job hunting down the most dangerous criminal gangs in the empire?

WTF, is that a crap storyline?
