Hahaha! I'm in the early spring dream myself.

The ending I'm hoping for: It's a mid-summer night dream by the 9th Princess, Xiao Feng, on the steppes. Everything turns out to be fine; no one dies. She and her new flame, Gu XiaoWu, who turns out to be a prince, live happily ever after. Dang! I know this will not be it.

Beats me! I've invested so much emotion in this drama. Dang!

Absolutely!

You're not alone.

Yeah, kick his arse, jerk!

Beautiful story. Love it!

This drama is all heart ache. I am currently watching this together with another which acts as an antidote, "The Legends". You should all try if you haven't started with "The Legends" yet.

Share your thoughts. I was crying like a baby. Heck!

Yeah, this line puzzled me too. I don't understand why he wanted such a cover up.

If you haven't watched "The Legends", you should try. In this drama, we have a strong FL who is a badass and loves men, beautiful men. We also have an adorable ML who is powerful yet in absolute obedient to the FL. I didn't think it was this good, and now I can't stop watching.

I was hoping, maybe they slept together but they didn't do that thing ...? I know I'm being naive. What the heck!

I felt so sad after Episode 48, but after reading your post lashing out at the unforgivable LCY, I feel much better. Yes, I want that happens to him like what you say. To be honest, my heart did fall for him for a moment when he and XF have that little bit of romance as husband and wife in the palace though he still pretends to act like a jerk towards her in public.

In addition to killing Gu Jian, Li ChengYin is unsalvageable! He should rot in hell, though like Xiao Feng, I have also fallen in love with him. Damn!

This drama is an amazing drama, with incredible actors, especially Peng Xiao Ran who portrays Xiao Feng. For the first time, I'm all out for a female lead rather than a male lead. Peng is so convincing in every scene she plays. She is beautiful, natural and simply amazing.

This drama is painful to watch. Can one love someone so much and yet also hate as much? The turmoil within is so heart wrenching, that is exactly what this drama captures. Can one forgive someone who has committed an heinous sin and still love him? I don't know how much tears I have shed, at the same time, I relish the romance, kindness, righteousness, beautiful natural landscape, costumes, music, poems, wuxia of this incredible drama.

If anyone who is reading this awesome article and contemplating to watch this drama, I would recommend to give it a try. You may find yourself like me and many others, get sucked into the unstoppable journey of binge watching.

Yeah, too bad 2nd ML dies!

Episode 48 - this is such a painful episode to watch. I was crying like a baby!

Love the theme song (male & female voices). So beautiful. Does anyone know what its title is?

Actually there are better versions for episodes 19 and 21, with links kindly posted by @Cathielynn:

The Youtube version was cut so bad that they are confusing. So, if you can understand Chinese with no subs, watch the above version instead.

Please also include Lu Zhao Yao (played by Bai Lu) in "The Legends" on this list. She is a badass many would enjoy to watch.
