Amazing , so much esoteric wisdom that few will see or comprehend, love the actors, beautiful real love story, great characters , wonderful.. Deep. The emperor represents REAl love, which is truth, care, love in action, beauty, he represents all that is love that is also loyalty, balance, wisdom, intellect etc. But the system he is in needs repairing and a new life. the Shen family represent what it means MOUNTAIn, they will only allow love to enter their kingdom, and can distinguish what is and what is not, they are the ones who carry the new emperors. XU represents the old order, an order that is outdated and will not budge eand so does not recognize love the slaps them in face. The FL, is also a pure love like the emperor so deserving of him, both have their traumas, the emperor being told he cannot love romantically, and having the burden of the Crown, whilst The FL had to survive the worst horrific abuse on all levels, she has survived thanks to love, she will defend all that is love and sacred in her life, the emperor will attack what is not love. They will both compromise and refrain and even sacrifice from their own relationship with one another when called for, because, what matters is that love is not just romance but love of all that is worth living. that is why, it is inevitable they end up together, their bond is unbreakable because it is true love, firm as a rock. the other characters have their own tribulation in love, because it hasn't reached that firmness yet. Beautiful story love to watched it twice, very clever sand well written cript as well. I love all the characters, well developed and they all have a crucial role in the story. Even the Shen head if the family will sacrifice tis daughters love not just to protect her, but if the old ways refuse a newcomer as the empress, there is no other choice for the empress but his own daughter who is loving and decent , she represents all that a real empress should be. I loved her story, the one who falls in love , gets badly hurt because she doesn't see true love , blinded by the fake light, only to be saved by real love, it takes a while for the heart to heal, so this real love short lived sadly and I cried a lot for her story. The Shen young master also recognizes love in the second female lead but he is aways turned to whether this love comes first or his love and duty for the emperor . Then there is the one character obssessed in love and obsessed by what he thinks is his duty which totally consumes his love instead of resurrection of it. He confuses love with obsession and on the path of total destruction, killing many in his path including himself. I loved the character of the Baron, could not help feeling sorry for him as he would not have anyone touch or abuse children and even had a school for them, but he forgot what it was to be abused and took plenty revenge on adults for his own power. Great drama !
