Honestly, I find it hard to give a proper review of this drama. The first part of the drama started off pretty good, the story was interesting and it followed the original story of the novel. But then they suddenly started a completely new story in the second part of the drama. Although the first part of the second story was pretty entertaining as well, the second part and the ending was quite disappointing. It just seems the writers and director didn't really know what they wanted to deliver, which ended in a messy ending of the story. For example the role and purpose of the guy (Tian Ru Jing) in the story seems a bit forced. Since he played a big part in the novel, it seems the writers were forced to put him in the second part of the story as well, but weren't bothered to come up with a better story/role for him. He just comes up out of the blue during the story a couple of times.
I wanted to give a higher overall rating, but the last couple episodes just ruined the drama for me. In my opinion, the writers wanted to end the drama in line with the novel, which resulted in a messy and confusing ending. It would've been better if they just chose to either follow the original story of the novel or change up the story instead. Overall, it was a light and entertaining drama to watch, I would rate the first story and first part of the second story a 8,5 and the last couple of episodes a 6,5-7.
