Ok look. I took off a ton of points here because the main character just pisses me off. idk why she's so obsessed with xb because he's a total dick. the acting was great. especially li hong yi- he legit carried this series. im just pissed at how fmc keeps defending xb and always thinks the best of him despite him literally willing to sacrifice her for a nut. a freaking nut.and can we talk about how it took 2 ppl DYING for her to realize what an asshole xb really is? that's in epi 26 btw. anyways, zhao lusi is great in romance of tiger and rose (传闻中的陈芊芊)- so go watch that.
also, ik that someone's gonna get hella sensitive over this- so just bear in mind that everyone has different opinions. if u want romance, this is the drama for you. if you want a story with a fmc that actually thinks for herself? this ain't it.

其实剧本也就一般般，不过就冲着那13集我也要打8.5星。
MDL requires reviews to be 300 characters in length, which is genuinely the most ridiculous thing ever, but to sum it up: qin hao is the best thing that ever happened to dao mu bi ji. this was one of the worst arcs of the series, in terms of the plot, because the mc isn't really wu xie anymore. but whatever, 8.5 stars for qin hao.

Best Mystery Drama Yet
So this drama is amazing. by far one of the best ancient crime & mystery drama's i've come across. The only thing keeping it from a solid 10/10 is the last couple episodes (after they leave zhan shi er & yin gongzi). So somewhere around the ep 15 ish mark is where i kind of feel like shit goes slightly downhill. Of course, i'll always love every single moment of this drama, and keep every minute near & dear to my heart. but i do feel like the romance between zhan shi qi and jian bu zi wasn't rlly necessary. i think i would personally prefer a drama where zhan shiqi is just friends with jian buzi & they don't hv any type of romantic feelings towards each other.i really really enjoyed the dynamic between jian buzhi & zhao wo huan in the earlier eps in huoyue shan zhuang & the kui lei li's island). the bromance between them was my favorite & the undying loyalty to one another. i just rlly liked jian buzi solving cases & the mystery surrounding each episode. not one episode was wasted & every one of them ended on a cliffhanger which made me keep watching for more.
it was brilliant every step of the way. from each deduction, to each crime, to each suspect. i was hanging on the edge of my seat, and the plot twists had me hooked. Not one time did i correctly guess the murderer behind each death. Not one did i get it right off the bat. The drama does a great job of giving u a little bit of backstory into each character, adding music and unfinished scenes to make it look like this person is a suspect. And just when u think u hv it- u don't. This "suspect" dies, and you're left completely blindsided.
Throughout the process of this drama, my favorite part was the reasoning & the murderers themselves.
Because i never thought it would be them. but yet, after listening to each deduction- all of sudden, everything makes total sense.
The ending too, was a masterpiece. 10/10 fucking spectacular. I'm not going to spoil it for yall, but god fcking dammit- this drama really said "sike you thought" on me once again.
Well played ancient detective.
I await ur season 2.
