a power struggle + poisoning

finished 8/10 🌟

A drama that had me very excited because I consider myself a fan of Meng Ziyi's acting ✨
I think it had an excellent start, the plot of intrigues + the arranged marriage is something that will always be a big YES for me.
Then, halfway through the plot, I feel like the story has fallen off track.
What was the princes' plot + the dispute over the exams? All of that put me to sleep, causing me to have to watch some episodes in double.
Then they played the parts that interested me most... how the mystery of the cure for Tao Hua's poisoning but even that felt super silly how it was solved... Which brings us to the ending, which for me was super weak. I expected something more and it didn't exceed my expectations much.
However, I didn't lose many points because I really liked the couple's chemistry and although the drama didn't do them justice, I enjoyed each and every one of their scenes for the most part ❤️
