Story of the Ages

Insane palace politics with high stakes and a slow burn that absolutely slow burned but when it started to burn, it was like a raging inferno. Majestic OSTs paired with masterful storytelling of reincarnation, this is fight to take back one's own destiny.

Ning is just trying to redeem herself and get away from the morbid drama that caused the downfall of her last life, yet she is too smart and headstrong to stay out of it. She's an imperfect FL who's resentful, selfish, and ambitious but you can't help but root for her. It makes sense why everyone keeps falling for her because she's being her authentic self.

Here comes the star of the show, the batshit insane son of a bitch, Xi Wei. Never have I met such an unhinged and cunning character AND he's the ML. I love it. To me, it was so obvious that he had feelings for her from the beginning. He is definitely the fall first and harder, and never let go type. He just makes sense with Ning. Their insanity matches.

A breathtaking tale of revenge and redemption, not one episode was boring. While the romance was slow to develop, it made sense since both characters are too crafty to fall head in first. But believe me, once they (more so Xi Wei) took that first step, they dove off that cliff. Just craziness all around, one of my favorite dramas of all time.
