Out of the main young characters, only the two leads arent annoying. I cant with Ziying childish and proud bs, Chenzi the weak and power-driven that lets Ziying do whatever she wants with him, Qingyun always asking for Ding Yin's d, and Xianbing accepting to be humiliated by Ziying. I also don't understand why they like who they like, beside Qingyun because Ding Yin really is a good character and she had reasons to fall in love with him. I'm currently rooting they'll all die some I'll have so peace
This is my second time watching it, btw, and now I'm not skipping the political part, which I should have done in the first time. Now I'm really enjoying how good it is. Although its annoying if you only want romance, its very good if you can appreciate it
