Mo Yan is a young aspiring bandit who is sharp, quick off the mark and strives to be the best. When a senior associate is imprisoned by Prince Ning Jin’s powerful Kaifeng court, she plots to rescue him. But the Kaifeng court’s guardians are a formidable force. With unfailing chivalry and outstanding fighting prowess, the glowing reputation of the revered Royal Cat Zhan Zhao precedes him. Upon her arrival, Mo Yan’s intelligence does not go unnoticed, earning her a post as a defense force constable. Mo Yan sees both an opportunity to save her associate and get a glimpse of the much-touted Royal Cat. The closer she gets to Zhan Zhao, the more she senses her feelings could only deepen and that Zhan Zao would be only too happy to reciprocate. Now complicating matters is the attention the Prince is suddenly lavishing upon her. Also weighing heavily upon her mind is the knowledge that a feud with a powerful enemy threatens to become deadly.

Simplicity at its Finest

The story is revolving about the government, mainly looking for the stolen money of the government then with that the plot started to branch, and the love connections between each of the characters… the story was really good because it does not mainly talk about romance all the time so I did not get bored of watching it at all, the only thing that I’m going to comment was that in the story we are looking for the stolen money but sometimes it is being forgotten and another topic/issue they’ve come across and is driving unto another issue to be solved while the stolen money thing is being dragged along and it’s just being delayed making the story long, but then that’s how story plot works I still enjoyed it anyway.

Now let’s talk about the characters for me I like with pairing of Caesar Wu and Hui Wen they both really did well as for the Hui Wen’s character Mo Yan some don’t like it but for me I think it’s just okay and that they we’re saying that she has no improvement and childish, will I think for the first few episodes it’s just cute for me to watch her character because it’s so much and even if she’s childish I read something from the comment section that she is I think around 18 and more younger on the novel so I think that explains why, but then as the story go by I noticed that she became more mature.

For the other characters I loved them as well they made the story more fun.

The OSTs are good, their opening sound track is the best for me.

I recommend that you watch this drama, especially if you’re looking for a balanced plot and also this drama is not so heavy and not super complicated.

The story basically revolves around the political issues and the stolen money.
It was good at the beginning, i like how they resolve the mystery. But then focus of the story shifted to something else and makes it too draggy.

Romance doesn't seem to be the main plot, the leads were cute, but they don't have much chemistry.
The misunderstanding between them doesn't dragged for too long. But throughout the drama, they keep lying and pushing each other 'for their own good'. When i thought, 'they finally understand that they need to be honest with each other', they lied and hide again. It's just a tiring circle.

Instead i like the side couple, like xiao chen - ying yu and su zui - princess yu they got better chemistry in my opinion. Prince Ning was also a good character, he comes off as clumsy most times but was smart when needed.

There are some annoying characters, but they didn't bother much.

The acting were okay. I think the problem lies within the script. Don't expect much from the cgi and fighting scenes.

Conclusion; it's not bad, but not good
I do like the comedic part. But overall, it's not my favorite.
