Whatever dawg

Lmao I knew her old habit (tapping her index finger) will give her away sooner than later 😂 I love that tiny detail though!

Found my favourite side character though! The marquis daughter who is pretending to be a guy! I already love her relationship with FL!😂 ML is a hopeless romantic whether he admits it or not 😂 I’m already enjoying this so much!

Exactly how I felt! Your comment is on point 💗

Also, I l’m not even sure I could survive HALF of what she went through 😔

First, an unreliable narrator can be written in various ways, especially in this chaotic manner. Also, I remember her working with a plan? Like I remember seeing that lol. Her plan is bound to be thrown off a little because both princes have the same enemy as her. Her plans are bound to be countered, sometimes. And she doesn't do the plans because she’s mentally unstable, I didn't see that in the show, that’s not what they were trying to portray. She has a mental illness AND has a revenge plan to carry out.

I mean she's mentally unstable… it’s not out of character.

To be honest, I knew about this show at least two months back but I didn't see people talking about it enough, and the numbers here weren't much (yes, I’m vain in that aspect, I don't want to waste time on a mid show so I always check out for the numbers and hype cause in 10 hyped shows at least 7 or 8 are worth it to me)


What I am trying to say is: I started this show because I didn't have anything to watch three days ago, so I decided to give it a try, and boy, it exceeded my expectations. I thought it was bad tbh 😅 Yeah, my fault for judging based on reviews and numbers.


What I liked about this show is:
1. The backstories of the characters. Most are tragic but very engaging, and they provoke emotions.

2. The FL’s character is something I haven't seen before, and I loved it. I loved her, how smart she was, and under that bubbly, cheerful personality was a little girl who went through so much. When I started realising her issue, my chest physically hurt 😔 And when we got to see her past, I was bawling. I definitely wouldn't have survived all that. She was so broken, so alone, she deserved the whole world. I can yap about her for days.

3. The ML and his dynamic with his family, especially his older brother’s wife and son. He's the perfect example of a family head (though FL helped a lot). I loved how his relationship with his older brother’s family was. I loved the subtle way he was falling for FL.

4. I loved how the villains were written. I can understand Prince Li tbh. If I went through what he did, I probably would have done worse, but there's no justification for his obsession and how far he went. Truly, he doesn't deserve Ye Ying’s love (funny how I am saying this when I started out hating her lol). I can understand the Empress Dowagers hunger for power, especially having enough knowledge and being as capable as a man—dare I say even more capable than most men—yet was trapped being a maltreated consort until she fought her way to the top. But her sins were unforgivable. I love her courage to fight for power but ruining people’s lives will never not be evil.


I can go on and on; there are things I didn't like about this show, but overall, it’s a 9/10 for me. It’s so different from other revenge historical shows. Most of the show was calm; it was surprising but not unpleasant lol.


The ending made me cry tears of joy, I’ll miss these characters💗

😔💔💔💔 the sheer amount deaths omg

I can only imagine how stressful and thrilling it was 😂

The comments prefer second couple and say the ending was bad, so yep, I’ll be avoiding this one🥲

Can't stand a bad ending and can't stand it when they make it seem like the second couple overshadows the main… Like it’s their show ffs😅😅

I'll do whatever the fuck I want lmao

9/10!!

Stopped at episode 33 even though this is a literal masterpiece that I slept on lol. Someone spoiled the ending for me, so I’d rather just be delulu and stop where they reunited 😭😂


I genuinely think if they’d actually killed that bitch Ye Bingchang, they wouldn't have gone through such torture. Not only did her actions indirectly cause ML’s half-brother to carry out his plans, and going unnoticed by ML, but also killed A WHOLE LOT OF PEOPLE. It doesn't even matter if she's Ye Bingchang or Tian Huan; she’s a demonic fool. She didn't deserve Xiao Lin! At least original Ye Xiwu was a bitch who showed the world she was one (I’m not excusing her evil deeds) and not hide behind “oh, I am a good person. I’m such a weak woman” girl bye 🤡🤡


Also, the misunderstanding and miscommunication in this show was torture 🤣🤣 I kept pulling my hair.

Who said I was talking about you lol? literally read the comments below and you'll see exactly what I am talking about. And it’s not the first time, it’s basically a pattern 🤷‍♀️

Real shit🤣

Sigh bl fans, y’all never change. Y’all always swear, only the top knows how to act, the bottom is always the weaker actor in y’all opinions, I am tired 🤣🤣🤣

It was a good show! Let's leave it at that. 8.5/10 for me!💗

9/10!!!
The acting was CRAZY even down to supporting characters!

And I just have to say this: The male lead made me blush like a fool and smile a lot🤣 That rarely ever happens to me, lmao. The way he and the female lead flirt is so adorable 😂

I loved his relationship with the king. I hate that his two sidekicks died. They could’ve left at least ONE💔

The Female lead was so good! She was very brave in avenging herself and Jiang Li. She’s such a sweetheart🥹 Her ex fumbled fr!!!

FL’s ex is the most shameless idiot I have ever seen. I actually sympathise with the Eldest Princess; she suffered 💔 BUT she harmed innocent people.

Jiang Li’s father turned out to be so likeable toward the end, he was a good man, but turned a blind eye to his wife’s wrongdoings. And Consort Li's last act at the end touched me—it didn't redeem her crimes, but she did love the emperor🫠

What I loved about this show is that the characters are well-written, fleshed out, and not just one-dimensional. Every character stays in your head. Even FL’s brother’s sweetheart stuck with me.

If I keep going, I might drop spoilers🤣

It took her until episode 25 to fully trust him if I remember correctly 😂

Loved the characters sm though. The second ML surprised me, he's the most likeable SML I’ve ever seen 😅

I actually had a lot to say, I just went numb after that ending and now I don’t even remember my points 😂(maybe I’ll be back later)

8/10 for me though!

Is he addicted to dying in movies? I literally finished A Journey to Love like two weeks ago, and that FINISHED me. And now this? 💔💔

Welcome back, actors Gemini and Fourth🥹

Oh that sucks, why didn't they follow the book? Lol. I still have my fingers crossed for how it’ll all play out cause right now, she’s outnumbered. The people whom she thinks are her pawns are even more strategic than she is. Mr Deng and Mr Xie will definitely fuck her over, I’m worried 😔

I think the female character is letting her anger cloud her thinking 😭 she’s very smart, no doubt, but overconfidence and underestimating her ex makes her lose to him all the time. I understand her anger and eagerness to make him pay, I completely do. But she needs to take it one step at a time.


I love this show already!
