This drama is very good for the most part, for so many eps. I have to say that the ending was such a let down. I will go to more details about it laters.

Story: Female lead Shen Li ge is an assassin. The male lead Peng chang wang is a king of a city.( to me his identity his kind of confusing... hes not the official king yet he still has officials met with him regarding poltics etc) The female lead wants to kill Peng Chang wang , but she fails and one of her friends die. Female lead takes on her identity to become her , because her dying wish was for her to find her long lost parents. Female lead finds warmth through her new family. At the same time the " younger daughter" who isnt blood related ( not 100% is whether she isnt/or not) gets jealous for all the attention Shen li ge gets. The person that killed her friend aka evil dude is named Lu Yuan. Shen Li ge is trying to do everything she can to get him to face the punishment he deserves, and at the same time the King ( peng chang wang ) is also trying to collect the evidence of all the evil of Lu Yuan. so the female and male lead becomes friends without knowing each other identity. Shen Li ge ends up marrying the king , and she changes the way she views of him.

one big main focus is encounters with Lu Yuan, trying to collect his evidence. Shen Li ge is so bad ass , I love her. There are many fighting scenes with her and Lu Yuan. She is a true heroine. I love her character. The king is also really kind, smart. He loves Shen Li ge a lot. Second focus is on war/ trying to get the government into a new system.

The actor that played Lu Yuan did a splendid job of being evil !! He was such a despicable character. On the other hand i couldn't. stand the evil sister....

There were also some super super heart wrenching scenes!!! oh my gosh , my heart. Made me cry sooo much !!!

Besides the story there was always this mystery person/ character who was the mastermind behind shen li ge becoming an assassin. He was the one that manipulated and tried to control people / and he obviously didn't like the king . The story behind him was finally unfolded in the last five episodes but I felt that it was such a disappointment. the reason behind why he did all the evil control was like wth?? Also the ending was kinda rushed and was like what? why ? the whole story barely talked about the actually king king , but in the end he sends a decree .. and make that kind of a ending ( dont want to ruin too much)

For 53 episodes it was over all pretty good!
