The story of the show is common like any other Historical political drama but what makes this Drama DIFFERENT from others is solely bcoz of How Alloy Chen and NiNi put their soul while portraying their characters as Ning Yi and Feng Zhiwei, it felt so alive like everything is happening in front of me.
There are parts which felt a bit draggy and similar, i wish they could have merged the Ning Shen and Ning Qi part together rather than showing them separately.

I truly adored the relationship between Headmaster Xin and Ning Yi, they had that brotherly friendship bond between them which is quite rare to see. The time Ning Yi reunited with his Mother while Headmaster Xin lost someone precious it was really hard to see him, Headmaster Xin was in pain and had a lot to say but Ning Yi didn't realised also, the time when Ning Yi became the emperor and asked Headmaster Xin to become his minister but he denied to make him understand how he felt back then was just so sad.

The Love Story between Ning Yi and Feng Zhiwei is really like a treasure, though i knew may be they won't be together but still i was hoping for them to end up together. Sometimes i also wished if Zhiwei mom had taken back her Oath in respect of not letting her marry Ning Yi since, both deserve to be Together. The way Ning Yi said that he wants Zhiwei not only in this lifetime but in every lifetime ..awwwww that so sweet and melting ?? it really shows how true his love is.
The ending was really sad and i wish there can be a SEASON 2 about Feng Zhiwei is alive and finally reunits with Ning Yi.
Nanyi was so cool, i really loved how he always says "Wherever you go, i will follow you".



Things i find a bit weird is:
1. Headmaster Xin is such a reasonable man i didn't expected him to kill Lady Wang.
2. Fine that Nanyi was trying to avenge Master Zhong death and he wouldn't in any case will hurt Consort Yale but who keeps the carriage on the edge of the clif ???
3. Why Ning Yi didn't realised what Ning Qi is trying to achieve ?? Ning Qi was the one who wanted the Feng Hao and Qiu Mingying identity to be revealed so he can also get rid of Feng Zhiwei.
4. Helian Zhang was so stupid to kill himself so he can make Zhi wei hate Ning Yi?

Acting Skills
Aloy Chen: I m so in love with his acting, he literally brought life to Ning Yi's character ❤️
NiNi: She did an excellent job in portraying as Feng Zhewei, her expression were on the spot and dialogues delivery were so bang on ...I just loved her ?
Rest of the Cast also did an excellent job in conveying their character.
I gave it 9/10, deducted 1 point for repetitive parts and not ending it properly.
