First off I love Zi Yang. But it seems they like to give her roles where she is stupid and doesn’t understand love. It made since in Ashes of Love but in this series it wasn’t necessary at all. Now on to the show.. I have a HUGE problem with the Emperors personality. This show pretty much supports men dominance. He tries to force himself on her when she said no multiple times. He doesn’t care that she doesn’t want to be one of his many girls and he tells her he can’t just have one women. He is manipulating and controlling because he is in a place of power.. I watched the whole show in hopes it would get better but it didn’t. I don’t believe she died.. I think she did it to escape his and his mental abuse. If they make more I hope they make her character stronger and not be manipulated.. I hate shows that show this kind of “Love”.. that’s not love. She might have loved him but she knew he was controlling her.
