This drama really doesn't live up to expectations and the world building is ruined as switches to palace drama from wuxia set up without proper exploration and there are many things that are just not up to par only the main leads keep the drama alive otherwise it is a lackluster experience. There are weird scenes like Langhua stabbing Bai Fengxi just like that and the plot line doesn't really shine in the end and very rushed and I personally think lot of eps are just wasted on Yangzhou and the switch to Qingzhou was not smooth. Overall a lackluster
