RIP Huang Bo, the Left Chancellor, and Di Nian. I didn't expect to be so deeply affected by the Left Chancellor's death, though I certainly cheered when the Right Chancellor was finally gone—good riddance! My heart goes out to Zhili, who is now left as a widow raising her son alone. I also really yearned for a final scene featuring Fuzhi and Zhishu in the last episode, but at least they survived, which is more than I can say for some of the other couples. Ultimately, the friendships in this series far surpass the romance, and I am perfectly fine with that. Rating: 8.5/10
