Thunder crackles, territories split, and warlords rise. After more than three centuries, the Empire of Juntian began to collapse as three of the four major duchies declared their independence, each reigning over their respective land. Ling Guang, the power-hungry and ambitious King of Tianxuan, sends his close companion, the swordsman Qiu Zhen, to assassinate Emperor Qi Kun. Although Qiu Zhen succeeds, he is tormented over his actions and kills himself in order to protect his King from malicious rumors. The death of the Emperor prompts the final duke, Jian Bin, to declare his duchy Tianji an independent kingdom as well. In Tianshu, the warrior scholar Zhong Kun Yi becomes a confidant of the young King Meng Zhang, who orders him to begin undermining Tianji. Meanwhile, a mysterious wandering musician named Murong Li arrives in remote Tianquan, where he is doted upon by the naive and childish King Zhi Ming. An uneasy balance settles among the four kingdoms, while at the same time, a fifth nation, Nansu, reveals itself when its king Yu Qing requests official recognition from the other kingdoms. The series focuses on the power struggle of these five kings and their closest confidants, as they must choose between loyalty, love, and revenge. Edit Translation

This is my first review, and if there's spelling errors I apologize since English isn't my native language.

When I first started watching the drama I was a little sceptical, because of the many main characters, and because I'm not so strong in political dramas. However since the first episode I was drawn in by the theme. There may have been some things I have missed, based on how political it is. However I think that after some time everything I was unsure about, got cleared up in a simple way, so pretty much everyone could understand it.
It takes a while before the story really starts to develope, but once it does it's really great, and it certainly got me emotional more than a few times.
I would recommend this drama if you're into chinese historical/ political dramas.

The story is awesome, but it starts a little bit confusing (you have to pay full attention to this series in order to not miss anything) and there are so many characters that you don't know who to follow anymore haha, but I ended up loving every one of them (eccentricities included!). Also, the plot starts a bit boring and slow, but after some episodes everything goes down hill very fast... I was shocked, all the characters just started to die one after another like flies omfg! xd

Despite the cast of amateur actors I really liked the acting, very powerful moments and emotions coming out from the actors (Jian Bin and Xiao Qi, I'm manly talking about you two :c). About the music, the soundtrack was good, it got me emotional many times and I absolutely loved the melody Ah-Li plays with his flute through the series, it's melancholic and sad, but beautiful.

Overall, it's entertaining (if you like politics and people scheming against each other, then this series is perfect for you) and I never got tired of the sweet scenes between the main characters (despite many of them were cut by the censors). 8 out of 10.
