Frustrating Watch!

This series had a lot of potential based on the synopsis and visuals, but it ended up being frustrating to watch. The story revolves around Princess Rong Le of Western Qi, who gets amnesia and is forced to marry Prince Zongzheng Wu You for political reasons. However, Wu You rejects her, and she disguises herself as Manyao to find a book that could help her nation. But then there are so many mistaken identities, lies, and constant scheming that it becomes hard to follow.

The twist, that Rong Le isn’t actually the princess but the daughter of the book's creator. The title doesn't really fit either, except for a moment when her hair turns white after she stabs Wu You while poisoned.

The characters are complicated in a frustrating way. Wu You is traumatic and phobic about touching women, but then he starts pursuing Rong Le like he's entitled. Rong Le starts as a strong character, but she quickly becomes a damsel in distress, making a mess of her life. The acting is fine but nothing special. The music is forgettable.

I ended up dropping the series halfway through because it just became too frustrating. I skipped a lot of scenes to get through it, and I don't think I’ll be finishing it anytime soon. Overall, the series had potential, but the writers didn’t know how to develop the characters properly, leaving it as a major letdown.
