Excellent adaptation with solid performance

Having read the source material, I think the show delivered the revenge extremely well. It was also refreshing to see the both main and supporting characters worked in tandem to deliver a stunning visual experience through out the show. Wu Jin Yan has delivered stellar performance in an intense, vengeful role as expected but the actors who played the princess and Ji Shuran matched the leads' energy (and in some scenes did much better). The only aspect I found misaligning was the whole replace reincarnation with substitution part (of course censorship rules) as it required extra scenes/work to convince audience and the the characters with the narration. However compared to many of its predecessors (such as Princess Wei Yong) this show handled those challenges extremely well and made sure that the FL stayed true to her vengeful character. Wang Xing Xue as cunning Duke Su was such a refreshing and intriguing watch as the actor clearly delivered such an unusual role compared to his otherwise mellow characters. Overall great one time watch.
