Omg, no show won me over as quickly as this one. A cozy and heartwarming comfort watch with beautiful Kashgar scenery and culture, lovable characters (especially the grandma), and a touching healing journey centered around three girls. Laili and Farhat's love story touched me the most. Also liked how most conflicts were resolved very satisfyingly, though some characters had me ragebaited for half the drama. Should at least have an MDL rating of 8.7.

Perfect if you want something short and emotionally fulfilling.

This delivered peak enemies-to-lovers, and they're the only CP I’ve seen with chemistry strong enough to compete with Meng Ziyi and Li Yunrui, imo

❤️

Each & every woman's story was intriguing; and although Wei Yingluo's cleverness was unrealistic sometimes, I loved her schemes. Also really liked the way she navigated herself upwards in a patriarchal, oppressive system and openly criticed the Emperor's ways but about this, I could go on and on. My favorite character was definitely Empress Fuca, her story made me cry so much.

Would be a 9.8 out of some reasons, but it sits in the same category as the 10/10s

❤️

A 9.5 since the plot felt a bit dragged in the beginning, but I give +0.5 points for Wang Xingyue's performance as Duke Su lol

❤️

This drama blended teeth-rotting fluff and light angst with a well-executed commentary on women’s struggles and solidarity <33

I love Tian Xiwei's cutesy roles so much, girlypop got that natural aegyo (her in this, First Love & Lovely Us >>>>>)

❤️

This could've been a 10/10 for me, but -0.5 since I don't like open endings when the story could've been wrapped up. Highly recommend tho!!

❤️

Comforting and wonderful — this show healed me! It made want to experience Kazakh culture and the landscape first-hand

❤️

A cute & light-hearted watch with pretty visuals!! Definitely my favorite transmigration cdrama

It took my dumb ahh 6 years to watch this and when I finally did, I understood the popularity (coming from someone who doesn't really like most mainstream/popular shows lmao)

❤️

Second half of it felt dragged on at times but I love the drama overall, so it's okay

Mo Bao Fei Bao, the woman that you are

Someday, I'm gonna read her other novels. I loved all the drama adaptions, they're so comforting - Road Home is next (>o<)

This drama made me fall in love with Helsinki and see the beauty in snow (I can't stand winter)

❤️

So many unexpected twists and turns! Truly worth the watch for the story, plus it's totally my cup of tea. Loved the Ming Dynasty inspired aesthetics and the tea plantation sceneries the most

(First 10-ish and last 4 episodes were unnecessary tho, kinda threw me off)

Review

Ahh, everything cliché and tropey you're looking for in a romance xianxia! Their love story was beautifully portrayed, so do not mind the cringeness and try watching this
