I watched this drama after my exams were over. And oh boy! I made a good decision.

It is such a heart wrenching drama that i wasn't able to move on for a long time. Not only that i wasn't able to watch other dramas for at least a 3 to 4 months.

It doesn't mean that this drama is bad. Actually the drama is great. A perfect drama to have tons of tears.

The story is about Li cheng yin who is the fifth prince of central plains. When he heard that the empress who he thought was his mother actually killed his own mother , he schemed a plan to be the crown prince of central plain and avenge his mother. To fulfil his plan he used the ninth princess of western liang in every possible way making her a life miserable.

Even though he loved her from the bottom of his heart, he failed to protect her in the dangerous eastern palace.

Both the actors did wonderful job in portraying their characters. I don't know if anybody else would be able to pull off the characters as much as they did.
I have become a fan of Oliver chen after I saw his acting. Li cheng yin is such a complex and skeptical character. and the actor portrayed it to the perfection. Peng Xiao ran did excellent job to display the innocent as well as mischievous Xiao feng who we all loved.

I am waiting for them to act together in other historical drama.

The ost are awesome. Its actually helped to intensify the emotions while watching the drama. Even when now I hear them, tears fall from my eyes as i remember the scenes.
