An exquisite masterpiece

This piece stands out as a work of art through the ages, a cinematic masterpiece.

Aesthetically, this is one of the most beautiful pieces I've seen. Each scene, costume, and actor is more beautiful than in the last scene. But this isn't just some idol drama as it initially appears to be, but a painting by a master at work.

I didn't watch at first because it started Ju Jingyi, for example, who was so miscast in In Blossom, and yet so well cast here. She is able to show beauty, delucacy and resilience here just fine. And Chen Duling is undeniably a powerful actress, yet here her beauty also becomes a weapon and a tool.

The story and characters are also compelling and multifaceted, a mix of wuxia and xanxia that resonates creatively. The characters are multifaceted, and only continue to show more depth.

A page turner you can't stop watching, as beautiful as it is engaging, do yourself a favor and watch an episode or two of this masterpiece, and allow yourself to be hooked.
