spoiler please. If it's not to your taste in dramas don't continue. The choice is yours. This is a complex drama script/story. Not for the faint of heart. Peace♥

Only those who like it will tell you it's good. Those that don't will tell you it's bad. What do you want to hear? Go check it for yourself.

More children get threatened and die. He tries to save as many as he can.

Inferring them as royals means you didn't pay attention. Did they have fancy place? Nope. Did they dress well? Nope. How could you say they were royals? "the beginning is some bull. how did the soldiers let all of that happen to..."

You know you want to watch. Before you do. Read all the tags and the synopsis. This is a mature story not a fluff piece. Has scenes of slaughter may not be suitable for all watchers if you are sensitive. Not a comedy, romance is non existent to the plot. If you go ahead and watch don't complain it is what it is. Peace♥

They are just lowly officials at that. The Duke and General with power. If you're sensitive to injustice stop watching now. Peace♥

If you don't like blood and gore then this not for you. Lots of scenes ahead that may not sit well. There is no romance. So if you proceed don't complain. Thank you ♥

For those curious this is not about romance. In fact in the first two episodes it's made clear he is not to get involved with women. Revenge is the plot.

If you don't get it go back and watch the first 2 episodes. This is a complex plot. Loving it! ♥

Well, calling this watched. Will I watch it again? Probably not. The amnesia thing went on way too long. They resolved it with a bump on the head. The ending with them going their own ways for a while dragged it out. When it said 2 yrs later I thought for sure they had gotten married and had a kid. Nope. They focused on careers instead. Revenge is not sweet and causes trauma. Peace♥

That would have been too logical right? It is confusing for sure. ♥

In honour. They sometimes do that. Honour a parent by taking their sur name. Either the mother's or the fathers. It could also be that she was not his "legal" wife but his concubine. Peace♥

I think Wei Yan is secretly plotting to take over his brothers place. I also think Lady Yu Lou will collaborate with Wei Yan. This is going to cause no end of trouble for our leads. I don't know the details as I haven't read the script but it seems to be heading that way. Peace♥

You know who impressed me in the cast. Ryan Ding. I thought his performance was so good. Not that all the others weren't great but Ryan really poured himself into his role for this one. So I'm done and done with this one. Very enjoyable and a good watch. Thank you Production and crew. Peace♥

I love it too but I just watch for the first half and then put on hold until all the episodes drop and they get over the vip part then continue watching. Quite often though I get caught up in another drama and don't end up returning for a while. If it's good I make sure to return.
