It's a refreshing change from having a cold male lead to a cold female lead this time, In essence, Shen Xihe's body was possesed by Gu Qingzhi's spirit when she died and the two spirits merged into one, with Qingzhi being the dominant figure, essentially almost taking over Shen Xihe entirely. It definitely is creepy but I've got to give them credit for their creativity for flipping a horror angle into a love story. A lot of things don't make sense though. The story seems forced. Things happened just to make it convenient for the storyline. So you defintely have to let go of some logic in order to enjoy this drama. What made me watch this until the end was the Crown Prince's cute antics and wanting to know who poisoned him and why. Yet, when it was finally revealed, it was a bit of a disappointment. It felt like they just made up an excuse in order to get a storyline going. And the ending - it was so unexpected. He miraculously just came back without any explanation. So did Xihe know he was coming back? For sure, she should've known if there was a body in the coffin or not. It would've been better if she was in the know that he faked his death. They made it seem like she didn't know and that was just too stupid and not fitting for her character's persona.
