One of the best Chinese series in a long while with a refreshing female lead! She isn't whiny, cutesy, pining or the damsel in distress! She stands for what she believes and she doesn't need a man to tell her what to do. I'm also pleasantly surprised that for newbie actors, both Xiao Tong (the princess/spy) and Wei Long (the handsome Rong Zhi) are Killing it! Honestly, thank you for segging, subbing, timing and editing this amazing drama! I hope many more people will watch this and get to appreciate all the hard work! Side note: The subs are amazing, especially when translating period poems and all, kudos to you guys!

9.5 starts: This drama is surprisingly good! There is some Count of Monte Cristo revenge plot happening and our second male lead isn't as goody-two-shoes as he first appeared to be. At first I was baffled by Shu Yue's motive for approaching Nan Qiao...well when the reason was revealed, I was behind our lead 100%! The only reason this show doesn't hit the 10 star marks for me is the editing/pacing of the cuts. The flashbacks are too repetitive and can be jarring. Other than that William Chan is the king of smoldering gazes and Bai He is so effortlessly beautiful, my eyes hurt sometimes! Still a recommended show as of ep.8!

Yang Mi strikes again with another period drama! Beautiful sets, breathtaking fight choreography and committed acting. She has found her match with Ethan Ruan as her co-star. Both their characters are surprisingly similar to each other, they're quite cheeky and playful but if you dig deep, you'll find that both of them are also very serious and loyal. She had amazing chemistry with her co-star, Mark Chao, in 10 miles of Peach Blossoms and now again with Ethan Ruan. Kinda cool how her co-stars are Taiwanese actors making their first(?) foray into Mainland China's entertainment market and their on-screen love slays me every time!
