There’s nothing new with the story. Two strangers get entangled accidentially, fall in love, involve in conflicts, seperate and reunite. As simple as that. But something in the way the story is told to the viewers, (imo) is really light and touching. The plot is straight to the point, no wishy washy and all the problem can be solved within 1 episode which is really logic to me. I can binge this series only for a couple of days :)
The chemistry also on point, with very very very cute couple and the beautiful relationship of having a brother/ sister that you really can depend on.
Watch this if you want to get out from your stress daily life :D

Entertaining and pure fun to watch
This was such a fun drama. Its one of the few dramas with fast pacing and development. Everything that happens just further the story. There are barely any politicking or boring moments. My favorite parts was whenever the leads are together. Especially the first time when he stayed the night with her. She kissed him on the nose while asleep and he was so flustered! It was so cute!! Their chemistry was so natural. She is also not afraid to push him away when he gets too close.Princess Chu Yue is so cute! This is the first drama I've seen Hu Yi Xuan. I love getting to watch actors I haven't seen and falling for them and their characters. Chu Yue is our modern day fangirl. She loves fantasy books and daydreaming about a hero to save/love her. Being a princess, she just wants freedom to live like the characters in the books. Little did she know... she has already marry a great hero. She was also the cutest mouse, pig, dog... awww.
Xue Yao has such a pleasant face for an (not so) intimidating general. I wish his character would smile more. It was so fun to watch him get unconfortable when Chu Yue becomes extra flirty and make him blush. We always see the guy teasing the girl, I loved that it was the other way around!
Su Nan Nan had great development. At first she was like a spoiled child crying for what she wants. But when she was defending Chu Yue, her morals as someone who can fight showed us that she is more then a jealous side character. She will defend the weak no matter what. Her schemes to win Xue Yao never worked, but it was fun to watch.
Prince Shun was such a conflicting character. I didn't want to like him nor hate him. When he realize he had real deep feelings toward his sister, he was shocked and locked himself away. He was still annoyingly getting in the way of the leads. In the end, he only wanted the best for Chu Yue and as long as she is happy he would always support her. I'm glad he didn't abandon her because their background growing up together was so sweet, it would have been a waste if he left. I also liked what he said about Xue Mu, that he became just like the man he use to look down on.
Naxi entering the drama was ...I guess just to give us another hurdle (heartbreak). She was so psycho.
There is a great shocking twist to the story about the brother. Its so bitty sweet but I really liked how it was done. I didn't see it coming.

There is a nothing bad in story . It is totally fictional based so enjoy it acco6
A princess who had nightmares when she slept at night and those become true that's why she didn't sleep at night and sleep when sun rised . Hence she became sleepless Princess .When she tried to change the future ,she faced the adverse effect .
After facing so many adverse effect she had gone for long-lasting sleep .
Her husband waited so long for her to wake up but she didn't wake up and ultimately he took a decision and drama was over.
Drama was good and actors and actresses's acting were also good.
I like it the whole story except ending .
If you didn't like ending then watch sleepless Princess special .

Entertaining ... comes with mixed feelings
Having watched up to E20, I would say it reminds me a little of Legend of Yun Xi. Both female characters are strong, resilient and optimistic but the FL here is more bright and tends to smile a lot more, as compared with Yun Xi. I don't know if it's her, but this is the second time I have seen her (previously watched her My Dear Destiny) and she gives me similar feels in both shows. The ML reminds me of Yun Xi's ML as well - cold, comes with his own emotional baggage but eventually is thawed by the FL. The only reason I say I have mixed feelings is I acknowledge that Yun Xi's ML had more considerations and responsibility - he had to revive a kingdom in honour of his ancestors, and he was poisoned, so he wasn't about to throw himself into a relationship. But the emotional baggage that the ML in this show carries is really not in the same league, though I know his brother was everything to him.The hot and cold / push and pull of emotions is really a disservice to the FL whom I particularly feel sorry for, and it confuses me as to the direction of the show. The tropes are there, there's danger, there's the saving of the damsel in distress and there's the initial mutual dislike the FL and ML have for each other, plus some noble idiocy thrown in for full measure. The saving grace though is the ML is somewhat of an eye candy but the person who dubbed his voice over has a really low pitch and at times, it's hard to catch what he is saying.
As for other characters, the FL's royal brother is endearing and my heart was wrenching with grief as he dealt with his own demons but I like how he is loyal to her and puts her above everything else. The FL's maid has got pretty good acting and I hope she does well in the future, with her own main roles - she's got the looks and the skill to boot.
I will still continue to watch this show, if that's the question you are wanting an answer to. The romantic scenes they have together are shot quite well and I do feel for the both of them, the characters at least give me some reason to be pulled into their story and to cheer them on. If you want lovey-dovey scenes, there are quite a few. Just wish I could fast forward to the end now and see what happens to her that explains the beginning of the story (as the tale begins as a recounting).

Horrible
So bad in so many ways. Everything that a badly written c-drama can be. My two stars are for the male lead. Absolutely could not stand the female lead. Wanted to slap her she was such a nutjob. The costumes were ok. The Prince was also incredibly creepy in this and his relationship/feelings for his sister were definatley not normal. I know he finally came to realize it but still really weird. There are many great dramas out there so I would most definatley not waste my time on this one.P.S. Watched the Special and it al least gave a more satisfactory ending for the viewers. I imagine the writers got so much hate mailregarding the original ending they had to come up with something quick.

Insomniac princess who has a complicated background
I was freaking excited seeing the preview trailer, I waited so long for almost all eps to broadcast before i strated watching. To be quite honest the story line is a let down. I was mainly excited because there were a lot of cute scenes in this preview.Characters-
Female lead- cute, quirky princess who can't sleep at night . When she was young, a rock that can tell the future went into her body. Thus making it hard for her to fall asleep at night, if she does fall asleep she'll either have dreams about the future, or she'll turn into an animal of the zodiac ( which for me was kinda weird)
Male lead is a guard in the palace . He is trying to find out happened to his elder brother who died in the palace. He doesn't trust the princess and her motives.
Second female lead - aka little b*tch , she likes the male lead and does things to get him to like her. initially she was trying to break up the male and female lead... but then afterwards she began friends with the princess. however the second female lead does something in the story that doesnt really make sense.. Which causes a rift in the female and male lead's relationship. ( that was when they were pretty much friends already...)
Princess' brother ( no blood relation) - He is very protective of his sister. Secretly he's in love with her. He's not a strongly developed character.
Third female - aka biggest b*tch... she comes in towards the later parts, and her story honestly is super annoying. Basically she is the slave of the male lead because he conquered her land. Turns out she is the princess in her land. She likes him and wants to marry male lead.
Storyline- To me the first 10 episodes i would summarize as getting married, the female lead trying to escape/ get a divorce, they argue, male lead is suspicious of her.The first 10 episodes was hard to get through... 11- 20ish episodes had more of the sweet and romantic development. I enjoyed that part of the drama.
Summary in shirt : She gets married, tries to get divorce papers/escapes, but always is forced to come back , finds out he's her insomnia medicine, fall in love, gets divorce , misunderstanding, wants to be together, evil female involvement, ... The storyline is not smooth and female lead has such a busy background/identity. It would of been so much better if the focus was on male lead being her insomnia medicine and her dreams help see into the future?
Romance; I love their chemistry and romance!!! Princess is shy to show her emotions and feelings nor is the male lead. I love them together and the time they spend together, love their kissing scenes. I just wish their relationship wasnt so bumpy like being together, getting apart, being together, getting apart....
only two more episodes left, so we'll see how it is.

Some characters over stayed their purpose and the story was getting tired
I did not really enjoy this drama. Half or more than half of this drama was spent on the Imperial brother butting his nose into female lead’s business and romance , trying to constantly take the princess away, it was very annoying and there was not much romance in this drama they had not enough chemistry because she kept on trying to run it was just dragging on and on smh... and the bombshell about the general’s brother also was just the writers trying too hard, the breaking up and getting together was irritating it happened too many times in a35 episode drama I didn’t really like it, this is the first time I haven’t really enjoyed a wuxia dramaWas this review helpful to you?

Predictable
This is a good show, but since like episode 10 for something I have realized that the secret group was his long lost brother. And like any other romance dramas, the emperor has to be bad but no one knows it. And the husband has to be mean on the outside until you really get to know him. This is a good show the actors are good too. But the plot is really predictable and doesn't have any sparkle in it. I have also started watching it in 2x since I feel like it is being dragged on a bit, with all the other characters that the main dude supposedly flirted with before. Honestly, I think since like ep 20, they should've ran away and eloped and never came back.Was this review helpful to you?
.. Catched my heart..
I love everything in this drama, good storyline, good casting, good music, good scenery and good in everything..Zheng Ye Cheng was so HOT in this drama?❤️
Watching him makes me want to hug him..
Sometimes when i watch chinese drama, I have to skip a few episode because its boring but for this drama I have to watch every episode and I patiently wait for english subtitle every week..
The test that they have to go thru to prove their love really make me love them more. I really hate all the people around them who selfishly tries to snatch this couple hearts. I love this couple so much....
Pity the ML, he loves her so much but because of the FL father, he has to control himself and pity the ML lead, she loves him so much but because of her father, she has to sacrifice... ??
Just pray for happy ending... I am still waiting english subtitle... Congrats to all involve in this drama, Love...

Journey of his Love Story
I started watching this drama because I am a big fan of Zheng Ye Cheng.Story: The drama started out with ZYC telling his love story to a group of kids. The journey begins with ZYC a great general with military power entered into an arranged marriage with the Princess and lost his power to the Emperor. A lot of interesting twist and turn plots that keep you engaged through out. Lots of funny and sweet moments. I'm hoping that this will be a sweet and happy ending. My only complain is that there is a delay for eng subs and we only have subs up to ep 28.
Acting: ZYC did an excellent job portraying a cold general, yet caring, sweet, gentle towards his love. He looks amazing in the uniform or in the white costume in the first and last episodes!!! With his acting, you'll feel like you're part of the journey, on the roller coaster ride with him. First time watching Xu Chu Yue, she also did an excellent job portraying a cute innocent Princess. Haven't seen any of the support folks but they all did an excellent job as well.
Rewatch Value: I plan to rewatch once they add eng subs to all episodes, especially the ones with sweet and funny moments.
Looking forward to more of Zheng Ye Cheng's dramas with happy ending!!!
