Longer Than a Mini-Drama, Yet Somehow Even More Ridiculous
I’ve never seen a female lead this absurdly overpowered before.
I’ve only watched a few episodes, but the pacing already feels more rushed than those 15-minute-per-episode vertical dramas. Things happen at lightning speed with barely any buildup or proper storytelling.
The female lead is supposed to be someone who got a second chance at life, but she acts more like she has a game system guiding her every move. She’s the daughter of a general, yet the writers treat her like she’s the empress of an empire. Every prince wants to marry her as his official wife. Even funnier, there are countless princes around, but somehow they’re all conveniently single—or their previous wives have died—just waiting for the female lead to make her choice.
Her detective skills are downright supernatural. She can identify everything just by smelling people. She catches a prince carrying a woman’s perfume and instantly concludes he’s secretly involved with a dancer. Then she smells a feminine fragrance on another female character and somehow jumps straight to, “Ah, she’s disguised as a man.” 🤡
The only reason I’m still watching is because the cast is ridiculously attractive. I’m curious whether the story will improve later.
Oh, and one last thing—the male lead has the exact same “look at me, I’m so cool” acting style as Zhang Linghe. Did they attend the same acting class or what? It’s painfully cheesy.
