Great story with weak ending
I enjoyed the majority of this drama. It was bite sized, had great actors and the story was mostly enjoyable.
If you want to watch a couple manipulate each other, watch the FL to suffer and an overall toxic situation, you are in for a treat.
However, the ending felt a little rushed and as much as I like happy endings, this seemed a little weak.
(Heavy spoilers ahead)
Having our SFL kill her lover who has suffered any humiliation for her and was just lovable, felt a little over the top. I understand she just kinda broke, but it seemed quite unnecessary.
Also Pei Ji forcing our FL to stab him, even if it was to have her pardoned from treason, was a bit too dramatic. Him surviving that as well bothered me. I think either him not forcing her, him taking his own life (even faking it) or him actually dying would've likely been more impactful.
That's my only real issue to be honest.
I still recommend watching this drama.
