Yes, it is. And to me a satisfactory one compare to the recent transmigration drama I watched.

Cheng Lei definitely showcase his versatility in acting here. From comedy to anger, madness and grief, very well captured for his character as Xia HouDan compared to his other roles. Wang ChuRan’s acting also surprised me here too, she should really do more comedy.

1. Since beginning, they recognized each other as partners and their relationships developed.
2. No
3. No
4. Yes
5. To me yes, this CP has good chemistry and their chemistry is natural.
6. Yes.

I finished it and absolutely enjoyed the ride. This is one of the most enjoyable drama for the start of 2026, with good humor, natural acting (both Cheng Lei and Wang ChuRan nailed their characters), absolutely love the plot, it didn’t take itself seriously yet there are some serious tone and sad moments. I am glad the villain stayed true to who he is till the end. I am glad the death toll wasn’t as high as expected. I knew the ending, and watching it bring satisfaction as something’s are best left unexplain;).

She is absolutely gorgeous 😍!

Oh nice! Thanks for this. I am diving in to the last few ep;).

Or maybe not as we can get to choose our characters and ending 😂😅

Hahhaha…then life will be so fun if we can be self aware.🤩

perhaps we all are😜. I feel like I am in a matrix sometimes 😂😂😂

Now watching this scene, makes the first scene in ep 1, when FL first appeared in front of him and asked “How are you…” so impactful! Chen Lei nailed that scene😍🤩.

Yup, and it’s so sad, the years that he had suffered😓

Ep 27, the angst is reaching the peak. Xia Hou Dan letter to WanYin is really sad.

I tried very hard not to invest in any of the novel characters as I know they will not end well. I can foreshadowed YongEr and the 4 scholars’ death. It’s still heartbreaking.😓

So much fun they had during filming…😍😍😍

You mean ML, Hai Ming? Nope, watch till the end, you will see the twist.

Ep 24…hmmm that’s how they do their love scenes and post love scene humor 😅
“Yu Jie, please be more gentler next time…”😍🤩

I saw that in many pages too, wondering if it’s spam and should MDL do something about it.

If you are confused, there is some discussion threads above by various commenters, you can check on them for more info. This is definitely a historical drama, and the script uses some traditional old language and poem, so it can be confusing. But to me if you like history, this story is pretty good watch.

That’s her characterization written in the novel. She is a 2D characters, hard to break away from her planned path.

Ah…I see. Using ambiguity to explain😅.
