Horrible plot and characters are lacking

I tried really hard to support this show because of Xiao Zhan, but I struggled the entire time. It was such a letdown because I was hyped waiting for it to be released, but the story just falls short.

The female lead was a chore to watch, and it was absolutely aggravating to sit through her brainless floundering about while they were building up her character development. She is so idiotic (even though they tried to portray her as intelligent), gullible and weak.

Lord Bo, the male lead was very attractive to look at but oh my god, was he toxic and moronic. The push and pull dynamic between the two leads made me want to rip my hair out and was unbearable to watch. Also, the way they tried to give Lord Bo "special abilities" because he was "raised by wolves" was idiotic. Being raised by wild animals doesn't automatically make you superman. Your body composition is still those of a human. *cue heavy eye roll*

There really should have been a trigger warning for episode 15 (I believe it was 15).

Ji Chong was the only saving grace and tolerable character. He was supportive without being overbearing, kind without being a pushover and he truly loved her. There is no logical reason that anyone would choose Lord Bo over Ji Chong, other than a contrived plot device.

Overall, the production value of this show was high and the cast were all great actors in portraying their roles, however, the story was just lacking and even with heavy suspension of belief, I still couldn't stomach it.
