Since I have finished the entire drama, to me, the biggest villain is Princess Yicheng. In the beginning when…
I began to think worse of her when I found out of her using Mimi... Mimi had to obey Princess Yicheng or else her brother Bu Zhen would suffer. Being a good sister, she wanted to protect him, so she did obey Princess Yicheng all the way exepet for the Gromwell time, after that she learned the consequences. First of all, Mimi is just an example of innocent people being affected. She was captured after her hometown and her entire family was killed exept her brother for a hostage. I think Yi Cheng had already planned for this. Mimi would obey Yi Cheng so her brother would not get hurt. Mimi probably had worked for Yi Cheng secretly for some time before going to Eagle Division, which is what I am assuming. I think Yi Cheng used Bu Zhen as a threat and hostage because Mimi being the extremely caring person she was, would do just about everything to ensure the safety or people she cared about being Bu Zhen, Mu Jin and Change Ge. Mimi might have forgotten her mission when Yi Cheng sent out a some what Bu Zhen look alike that was sick knowing that Eagle Division would get a plague and blocking gromwell transportation to kill Eagle Division. In the drama, in the episode where Mimi first found the kid, after caring for him for a while, she throws the water she wet a towel to put on the kid's face. The disease went from the face to towel to water to the kid who fell to others. I know Mimi didn't do this on purpose, but that is essentially how the sickness started. Obviously this was all arranged by Yi Cheng. It couldn't be a coincedence that Gromwell was banned from leaving Mo Bei. This was all Yi Cheng's plan yet no one exept her closest followers knew. Mimi chose to bring the gromwell back even if it was against Yi Cheng because she had promised Mu Jin. After, her brother's finger got cut off. In the drama, Mimi starts crying and begging. I think the reason Yi Cheng chose Bu Zhen as the hostage and Mimi as the missionar is because Mimi cared deeply for her brother and would be forced to do whatever Yi Cheng wanted just by threatening her with Bu Zhen. To Yi Cheng, Mimi might have been a good person to manipulate. Mimi was obviously a pawn in the game and I am glad she found some happiness with Mu Jin and Chang Ge. After Mimi learns of her brother's chopped finger, she becomes more anxious and scared. She is forced to poison a dude's food to kill him. What Yi Cheng didn't know was Change Ge now knew about this, and helped Mimi with the situitaion at the end. I think Mimi felt very lucky to meet, know and be friends with Chang Ge. It was also Change Ge's idea to have Mimi stay with Yi Cheng in case of something happeneding in Ding Xiang. Mimi was very brave for this. Obviously Yi Cheng underestimated Mimi a lot. WIthout Mimi's help, it would have been much harder to get Sun out of his Ding Xiang and from his execution. Mimi in the end, sadly died from an arrow shot from Lei protecting Chang Ge. This shows how caring Mimi was towards Chang Ge. Mimi in the end died but for a good cause and not in the hands of Yi Cheng. Mimi also must have been relieved of Bu Zhen being safe because that must have been one of her biggest wishes for her to be free of the burden of doing bad things to have Bu Zhen not be hurt. After knowing how she manipulated Mimi, I hated Yi Cheng the more I saw her and the more she appeared. But there was another side to Yi Cheng...
Since I have finished the entire drama, to me, the biggest villain is Princess Yicheng. In the beginning when I first learned of her ulterior moves, I felt a bit bad for her and I thought it was justified. She had to marry 4 different men, got abused mentally, psychologically, emotionally and physically. I feel she didn't know what she was getting into when she decided to marry into the Grasslands. Based on her experiences with Great Khan, she probably had around the same treatment with her other husbands. She was yelled at by Great Khan multiple times for having a "sad face", that must have been so hurtful and the fact that it happened over and over again. Also, watching your husband with another women and being romantic with her and them both saying bad stuff about you, yet you can do nothing must also be so painful. In today's world, that would literally be cheating, but since this is way back in time, it is more realistic. Princess Yicheng is shunned and mistreated again and again by Great Khan in multiple ways. He does not at all appreciate her. The only good thing is she has a good image by the people in the beginning. Everyone thought she was righteous and just and that probably paid off when she wanted some loyal people working for her. Even so, they couldn't really do that much since they would have to go against Great Khan. Another thing is Great Khan always despised the princess because of her son. Her son is always second to Sun and the fact that Sher is his blood nephew but keeps making mistakes and making him disappointed. Sher is always getting one uped by Sun, who is an adopted son of Great Khan. Great Khan calls Sher and Princess Yicheng 废物, literally meaning trash and waste many times in the drama, but he doesn't ever say that to Sun. It is also obvious Sun is a bit favored since he is so loyal and makes Khan satisfied a lot. Princess Yicheng also had been forbid to see, speak, or do anything with her son when Khan was in power. And being separated from your own son but still seeing him must be so heart-breaking. She obviously had much more suffering from what I have just listed, but these are some reasons why I felt bad for her at first. I thought what she was doing was bad but like there was a reason which was to stop her suffering from Khan and be able to interact with Sher, but that was wrong...
