Slow-burn chemistry, rich backstories for well-rounded characters, catchy OSTs, and multi-layered plot that have the most insane and satisfying buildup. This drama has set a new standard for historical Chinese dramas.

The most defining aspect of this drama is the cinematography. Truly a feast for the eyes and heart. Yet, the visuals would have been nothing without the leads. Changyu's growth from butcher to the Flower-Adorned General is so satisfying to watch, she's unapologetically herself. And here comes Zheng, the ultimate downbad husband who's only soft for his wife. Their characters are so lovable. They moved me to tears in laughter and heartache.

It's rare to come across a drama that is perfect in all aspects. It truly felt like you were living the legend of Changyu and Zheng in their journey as the ultimate power couple who stands as pillars of justice in the Daiyin.

Ultimately, it is a tale of beauty. The beauty of love for friends, family and the fated one you will find in every lifetime. A story so beautiful that will leave you breathless until the last episode.
