Littlespoiler ~~~Let me save you some precious time 🕐. If you’re thinking of picking this drama, know this... it’s a long, exhausting 40-hour slog that ends with the male lead dying for absolutely nothing. Watch at your own risk. You’ve been warned..


Now!my main issue...The female lead falls for a guy who literally tries to kill her. Multiple times. Poisons, weapons, the full package. And yet, she suddenly gets all buddy-buddy with him because… his “upright nature” turned her on 😒😒😒 Girl ..he showed zero mercy. Did you just forget all those murder attempt ...???? I couldn’t wrap my head around it

Then there’s the Yuelou mess. I n what universe does a border state keep getting exploited while its citizens still fight for a king who messes up everyone’s lives? In real history, border states hold all the leverage ~~~~ trade routes, special privileges, you name it. But here !! Just endless manipulation.

And the king himself~~~what a disaster. He’s managed to tick off everyone ;; the ML, his own ex (who wants his head), multiple generals ready to rebel, the FL (for family tragedy), and even his own son. Yet somehow, with just a handful of people and hollow threats, he keeps everything under control. No serious army, just imperial guards. Sorry, but I’m not buying it. So many unconvincing, boring moments. 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨

As for the cast... Ren and Landy did okay. Their roles started off spontaneous but fizzled into meh. Chemistry existed but was never explored by the writer. Side characters were just… there. They did their job.

Honestly? Nothing else worth mentioning. Save yourself the headache. ✌️
