Bestest of the best drama of all time!
Woah!! I am so in love with this drama where I have endearing feelings for all the cast members.Moreover, I also feel these soft-subtle-healing vibes this drama gives me where I don't need to skip any moments or watch it in 2x speed like few other dramas which are rather a little bit draggy or a bit hasty without any character development.
I love how it soothes my soul and makes me happy! Every character has their own sufferings, past and personality.
In addition to it, all of them are just so adorable.
Definitely this drama will be ranked on the topmost place in my Xuanhuan side of drama heart.
YangZi is just so good at portraying different layers of her past experiences. So commendable! Her acting is superior. ❤️
XL and TJ are just so cute with those hearty eyes for the FL. Something I definitely didn't expect so soon for our Nine-headed Demon Serpent the Great Xiang Liu! ?
Up until now CX just gives me sibling-like chemistry with FL.
I wanted 4thML Chi Shui Feng Long to gear up a little bit to get into XY's heart as the only thing do is to be completely whipped for XY and nothing else. ?
I definitely recommend you this title. <3
Yang Zi/ Xiao Yao:
She's definitely our common FL who was given a lot of love by her family and the consistency of her character is portrayed really well. Generally, FLs from different drama make few decisions which are questionable but our XY is very different from theirs. I love her character in this drama the most. Everyone knows about her tragic past and how she tried her best to live her life despite of various troubles. Her being totally calm and having pure hearted demeanor is just so rare.
She is so committed to her loved ones that she tries her best to assist them mostly XL by giving her own blood all the time to cure him and protecting CX everytime. She is so admirable.?
On weibo, it shows that XY is a scorpion and since I am her fellow water sign buddy, I kind of understand her insecurities rooted from her past loses and traumas.
She needs security in her relationships where she should be sure that the other person will not abandon her at any cost and she can believe that person with her fragile heart. She is in such situation where she can not suffer anymore heart breaks.
That's why she took her time accepting her own identity of being a princess before her all security issues gets taken care of and believing that her father didn't really wanted to abandon her because of some rumours.
I myself and XY wants to be this kind of healing relationship that its better to torture physically than being abandoned from time to time by those for whom she had at least an ounce amount of faith and those who were being nice with her.
That's why she has basically closed her heart from upcoming vulnerable emotions and feelings strangers bring to her.
Zhang Wan Yi/ Cang Xuan:
Even though I'm not a big fan of CX character's life decision but I kinda understand why he took those decisions in his life as he needed to live while constantly fearing of his 5th and 7th uncle plotting all the way down the hill!
He had bunch full of people trying to assassinate him including people from Chenrong army because of his identity.
He said to XY in yesterday's ep that he no longer can be willfull after his mother's death. I'm sobbing for him 'cause every character in this drama has depth and weight in their heart can be felt so easily namely in XY, XL and CX's characters especially.
CX literally poisoning and losing his control over himself just to move out of Xiyan city is just so cruel to himself! He claiming in front of XY that he needs to remember today's suffering in order to remember it in the long course of time to stay strong for his goal is so commendable.
Hats off to ZWY's acting even his pupils work so hard to portray the feel of mad man who was addicted to those poisonous drugs which he needed to take just to make people around him think that he is depressed and can't do anything so that he won't be a danger to his uncles for the throne!
He tried to puch Chenrong XinYue off his body but at end wasn't able to resist her since she was the sister of his biggest benefactor.... He can't even have someone he loves dearly! So tragic all the way.
I haven't read the novel so I don't know what tragic things he will do to XY that she eventually wanted to kill CX after watching yesterday's ep where she tried her best to control CX when he lost himself to the drug! Poor them... CX please at any cost don't betray and break heart of XY....

If I were a man, I would definitely fall for Yu Mei Ren!
The main story is slow, so obviously the romance part is slow too but it's not too annoying for me.I can watch all episodes in one sitting. So drama lovers can get what I am trying to say(If it's boring or the plot is too too draggy then we can't binge-watch it even if we liked the drama initially).
She's so damn cute, bubbly, and kind-hearted.
If you like female lead having a new outfit every scene then this drama is for you.
The story has a minor love triangle setting but it doesn't affect the original storyline and the Main lead's relationship. Till now no annoying/toxic secondary female jealous plot (but I know in the future there will be a).
Very few Male lead's jealous(cute) moments are adorable.
Warm Female/Cold Male lead plot.
I have heard that the outfits of Esther Yu in the drama are originally hers.
Since they were recycled that way, A Big Thumbs Up to her and the styling team. The stylist's work and budget must have been lessened because since it is her own clothes, No need for fitting.
WE STAN A HELPFUL QUEEN:)
And Zhang Yu is so handsome! He shows full justice to his character. It is my first Zhang Bin Bin drama btw.
Waiting for the eng sub after ep 13 on Croton Mega Hit.
Overall a slow, fluffy, pinky romance and obviously stylish/expensive af female lead outfits.

One of the best C drama I have watched.
I am a really big fan of costume historical-based C drama and this drama is one of the tops on my favorite list.I like dramas with her emotions and this drama conveys it the best. The male and lead female leads did the best job through their acting.
I never felt any boring moment throughout the whole drama. The whole cast did a wonderful job. The story itself is worth watching. The drama is like something you have watched but haven't felt that thing till you watch this drama. It is worth watching I think you should all watch this. If you like drama that has a smart female lead and the supporting male lead who every time supports the female lead(even if he likes her he doesn't try to ruin male lead's relationship) then you must watch this drama!

This review may contain spoilers
HUGE SPOILERS AHEAD! (A CHARACTER REVIEW)
THIS PARTICULAR STORY, I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT IT IS ONE OF MY MOST FAV QING DYNASTY DRAMA OF ALL TIME!IF THERE IS SOMEONE WHO LIKES LOVE TRIANGLES, THEN THIS IS IT. (HOWEVER, FL HAS SO MANY ADMIRER ONE CAN'T COUNT). THIS DRAMA MUST HAVE THE MOST NUMBER OF SECOND MALE LEAD SYNDROME NAMELY DAISAN, CUYEN, DORGON, AND MAYBE WUKEYA. THERE ARE OTHERS TOO LIKE NURHACI, BAINDARI, AND JIE SAI WHO ARE JUST BEHIND HER BEAUTY, LUSTFUL AND DON'T VALUE HER TRULY.
ACCORDING TO ME, THE VILLAIN WOULD BE HER BROTHER BUYANGGU WHO JUST WANTED TO USE HER TO ACCOMPLISH HIS OWN NEEDS. REALLY SPITEFUL!
FL: THERE WERE MANY UPS AND DOWNS IN HER LIFE EVEN THOUGH SHE WAS JURCHEN'S MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMAN. THE MAIN CAUSE OF IT WAS HER MODERN WAY OF FINDING LOVE. SHE ISN'T SOMEONE WHO WANTS TO DEPEND UPON MALES. SHE STRIVES HER BEST TO GET WHAT SHE WANTS. HER CHARACTER WAS GIVEN JUSTICE BY THE ACTRESS AND HER EMOTIONS WERE DEEP AND WELL EXECUTED.
ON THE CONTRARY, SOMETIMES I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND WHY SHE MADE PARTICULAR DECISIONS BUT ALL THE WAY SHE WAS GOOD.
ML: I DON'T EVEN HAVE WORDS TO SAY ANYTHING ABOUT OUR HERO HONG TAIJI. HE IS THE MOST ADMIRABLE ML FROM QING DYNASTY WHO HAS ONLY EYES FOR OUR FL HIS WHOLE LIFE. HE IS MATURE, UNDERSTANDING, SUBMISSIVE TO FL, LITTLE JEALOUS IN A CUTE WAY. EVEN THOUGH FL HAD SO MANY ADMIRERS, HE DIDN'T TORMENT HER BUT RATHER SUPPORTED HER ALONG THE WAY WHILE PROTECTING HER. DRAMA HAD SO MANY SMLs BUT ML'S AURA WAS SO STRONG IT DIDN'T DIMINISH HALF WAY.
SMLs:
1) DAISAN: IN MY PERSPECTIVE, HE WAS THE MOST DESERVING SML OF ALL DRAMAS. EVEN THOUGH YEARS PASSED BY, HIS LOVE FOR FL DIDN'T CHANGE AND HE DIDN'T ACT AGAINST FL'S CHOICES. GRADUALLY, HE EVEN LET HER GO TO ML.
2) CUYEN: HIS CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT WAS SO GOOD! AT FIRST, HE FORCEFULLY WANTED FL LIKE HIS FATHER NURHACI, BUT AS TIME PASSED, HE STARTED TO UNDERSTAND THE SITUATION IN A MORE MATURE WAY. HE WAS THE MOST FEARLESS PURSUER OF FL WHO DIDN'T EVEN THINK ABOUT HIS FUTURE ASPIRATION AND EVEN HAD MANY ARGUMENTS WITH HIS DAD REGARDING THE FL. HE WAS A HERO. THE LAST TIME WHEN HE MET HER IN JAIL WAS THE MOST EMOTIONAL MOMENT OF THE WHOLE DRAMA.
3) DORGON: HE IS THE REINCARNATION OF CUYEN. HE DID COME IN FRONT OF FL WITH THE SAME PASSION HE HAD IN HIS LAST LIFE. JUST THE SAME WAY, HE WAS NOT AFRAID TO GO AGAINST THE RULER FOR THE FL. IN BOTH OF HIS PAST AND PRESENT LIFE HE WAS KINDA CUTE BUT THIS ONE WAS BETTER THAN BEFORE.
4) WUKEYA: HE WAS A YOUNG MASTER OF WAERKA WHO SAVED FL'S LIFE WHEN SHE WAS KIDNAPPED BY BAINDARI. ALTHOUGH HE DID NOT EXPRESS HIS LOVE TO FL, EVERYONE CAN SEE HIS ADMIRATION FOR FL. I WOULD HAVE PREFERRED MORE OF THEIR INTERACTION 'CAUSE THEIR CHEMISTRY WAS GOOD. HE WAS THE MOST GENNTLEMANLY FIGURE AMONG OTHER SMLs.
5) NURHACI: HE HAD SOME INCONSISTENCY IN HIS ATTITUDE TOWARDS OUR FL BUT ALL THE WAY HE LIKED HER THE SAME WAY AT LEAST ACCORDING TO HIM! HE JUST WANTED HER TO HER HIS PRIMARY CONSORT BUT FL WASN'T WILLING TO SURRENDER SO OVER THE COURSE OF TIME HE LOST HIS TEMPER AND EVEN TRIED TO HARASS HER SOMETIMES BUT STILL LET HER DO WHAT SHE WANTED TO EVERY TIME. HE ALWAYS PUT HIS AMBITIONS IN FRONT WHILE FALSELY DELUSIONING AND WANTING FL.
SFLs:
1) GEDAI: SHE WAS FL'S HANDMAID FROM A RESPECTED CLAN BUT STILL WAS NOT ARROGANT AND FAVOURED HER MASTER (FL) WHOLEHEARTEDLY TILL THE END. SHE LIKED ML BUT WASN'T DRIVEN BY JEALOUSY AND NEVER THOUGHT OF HARMING HER! REALLY A PERSON OF ADMIRABLE CHARACTER.
HER BOND WITH FL WAS MOST PRECIOUS AMONG ANY OTHER FL-SFL FROM OTHER DRAMAS. THEY WERE SO DELIGHTFUL TO WATCH. I PRAYED EVERY DAY WHILE WATCHING THE DRAMA, THAT MS. SCREEN WRITER PLEASE DON'T LET THEIR PRECIOUS BOND GO DOWNHILL BECAUSE OF ANY REASON. AND SCREENWRITER MUST'VE HEARD MY PRAYERS! HAHA :)
2) ABAHAI: I KINDA FELT SOMEWHAT SAD FOR HER. NURHACI ONLY TOOK HER AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR THE FL AND NEVER REALLY LIKED HER. SHE LIKED DAISAN WHOLEHEARTEDLY (AT LEAST ACCORDING TO HER) BUT IT WASN'T RECIPROCATED BY HIM. HER END WAS SO BAD BUT SHE MAYBE DESERVED IT.
OVERALL, I LIKED THE DRAMA. IN BETWEEN SOMEWHERE, THE PLOT WAS STUCK BUT AFTERWARDS, IT AGAIN CAME ONTO THE TRACK. I LIKE FL AND ML'S CHEMISTRY ABOUT HOW SWEETLY HE WOULD INDULGE HER EVERY DEMAND! MAYBE I WON'T REWATCH IT BUT IT WAS SO GOOD THAT AFTER A FEW YEARS I'LL SEARCH FOR THEIR KISSING SCENES ON YOUTUBE ESPECIALLY THEIR FIRST ONE. IT WAS SO HILARIOUS! IT'S WORTH WATCHING IT ONCE!

EXTRAORDINARY STORYLINE AND CHARACTERS
Recently the main topics of dramas are generally thrillers, mystery, revenge, and so on dark concepts.It's refreshing to find something light-hearted romance slight comedy and something new in the storyline.
It's nice to see how colleagues of the female lead acknowledge the talent of our female lead woo young woo.
Even if she has autism, she's brave to put her opinion, is cute and a sort out person who is talented and treats everyone nicely.
It's really heartwarming how our male lead Jun ho treates the female lead.
Cast acting, characters and their character development, storyline and everything related to this drama is really nice.
You will like it if you want to watch a lighthearted drama that is really enjoyable to watch and be happy throughout watching hours. CUTE CUTE CUTE :) <3
