I remember this one had a slow start, but once I was committed, I really enjoyed it. It’s another transmigration storyline where the heroine enters a novel and makes choices based on what she already knows—but it brings a fresh vision that makes the subplots feel original. There’s a mix of politics, conspiracies, and intriguing characters, though I do wish some had been more fully developed. There's even a fun guest appearance by Lin Zehui toward the end.

My main critique is the ending—it drops off without closure or a second season. While I can sometimes overlook that, in this case, it was disappointing because the story had been building toward something truly promising. Each episode made the plot more compelling, and I had high hopes for how the subplots would unfold. Still, I don’t regret watching it. As a Li Fei fan, I think this drama showcases his strengths and reinforces how he consistently chooses interesting and unique projects.
