Oh how this started out not that bad and steadily began to decline as each episode progress. By the time in reached the last couple and episodes it became a what in the forking hell and I watching but you still watch with your friendly trusty remote in your hands. Seriously though, the storyline started out cliche, predictable, but enough to ignore the cheesiness that it glaringly had. By midway I don’t know if the writers just decided to throw in the towel and dial up all the cliches and overdramatize everything by 100. I guess the first clue was how the main male lead was written. Good looking, (well it’s Luo Zheng so 🔥) smart, talented, excellent cook, can go all John Wick on someone, basically can do anything, and smolders a lot. Second clue was the slow motions, oh my forking hell, I can’t tell you how many times there were slow motion scenes. Overall this had many cringe inducing scenes yes, I still fully watch it mainly due to both main leads. I’m a fan of Luo Zheng so that help and Lin Xin Yi had excellent chemistry with him. The secondary couple also was a fun storyline to watch.

“I have ascended to the apex of power. Yet the one standing by my side is not the person who has supported me and shared weal and woe with me.”

Xiao Yao isn’t only the girl who Cang Xuan imprinted on like a baby bird before his life went to shit. She’s the person who makes him feel loved. The person who was ready to assassinate their grandfather for him. She’s the only person who loves him unconditionally.

When he pressures her into coming home with him, he does it by using her fear for his safety. This is the kind of tactic you use with people who actually love you. He wouldn’t be able to use it on his empress or (in my opinion) with Ah Nian. Their love is more the desire for possession, to be doted on themselves.

No wonder he’s smiling here. No wonder he’s so happy to have her back. Someone who continually puts his wellbeing above their own happiness is rarer than gold in the life he’s led.
