I started out really liking this series, the tale of Mi Yue I found very interesting. An avid history lover, this was right up my alley.
From Mi Yue’s childhood to adulthood, the story of her two sisters, the men she loved, it was worth the watch.

Costumes and hairstyles very good. All went well until I read the ending.

Mi Yue was a favourite concubine of King Ying Si and gave birth to his son whom he named Ying Ji. He was ten years old when his father died.

Finding out she planned, and killed the man who loved her wholeheartedly and devotedly, who saved her life and the life of her son, Ying Ji, many times, the man she later married, Zhái Li, who himself was a King, the King of the Grasslands, and with whom she had a son, and how she watched him get murdered, just broke my heart, even th8nking on it brings me to tears for he did so much for her, yet in the end, she had him killed like a wild beast.

This made me so angry, and sad, I am unable to watch the last four episodes. Reading about Zhái Li’s death was bad enough, but watching it I just cannot do.

So yes, I give this the thumbs down because of this.
