Apparent default of consent in a good quality forbidden love story.

Story: The poor teacher Zhao Xing Rou falls for the rich warlord Yi Qiu Ting. All seems to be going well until the Male Leads family knows about it.

This is a beautiful and high quality drama. I started watching it and I appreciated it. However the use of violence by the domineering warlord Male Lead to stay with the teacher Female Lead was sometimes hard to stand.
Although I understand that the two of them love each other so basically they would like to remain together. Circumstances make that hard to happen and Male Lead domineering as he is, used all his power to stay with his beloved at any cost, despite their family wishes and even Female Lead's requests at some point.
This is why I was not so happy about seeing him forcing her. But the story line was great and I could understand the dangers they had to face together so I kept watching.
However, When I saw how later in the show, Female Lead behaves toward Male Lead . That was too much for me. She became despicable and to me they destroyed her persona.

But to be fair the drama is beautiful and as much as I was annoyed about those two forcing themself onto each other. It was still a visually beautiful watch.

The plot is simple soI will not indulge in descriptions. I liked everything in this drama except the last part when Female Lead retaliates. She could have done it in a different way.

The two Second Male Leads have what looks like an hidden BL romance.

So, if it doesn't disturb you to see Male Lead forcefully bed Female Lead all the time. Despite her being in love with him. You could appreciate this drama.


Pros :
- Great cinematography and good quality mini drama.
- Good story.
- Fighting scenes are well shot and executed.
- Great acting. They managed to make me cry at some point.
- BL so-called bromance between the two Sooecond Male Lead.
- Fast pacing was pleasing.
- Great character development for Male Lead and Female Lead. They others stay pretty much the same.


Cons :
- Forced love : Male Lead forcefully bedding Female Lead is a little disturbing. Despite the fact that we know that she is in love with him. Is it or not a defaut of consent. I let you judge of that. I don't say more not to spoil.
- A lot of twists and turns, despite the general storyline being simple.

Overall : It woths the watch because of the quality of the drama and the retribution at the end.
I could only recommend this drama if you understand the concept of forbidden love. And Male Lead forcefully bedding Female Lead doesnt shock you.
Watching the drama I understood why Male Lead did all he did and I also understood why Female Lead never really tried to escape him.
