Before anything else, I wanna say that Zhao Lusi gave her AAA+ in playing her role in this drama and deserves a Top Actress Award for doing so. Damn, I cackled so hard whenever she says or does anything. She offered and gave so much 'drama' and comedy to her character which is something I've never seen before—one of a kind. I will be forever in love on how calculating and scheming she is, a badass capable lady!

This first part is all about the process—struggles and obstacles someone must go through in their lifelong Journey.

I kind of contemplated to write this reaction after finishing the first 27 episodes (Part 1) because I feel like it shouldn't really be cut-off in the middle and it's just a continuation without any timeskips or so happening, but I still decided to do so because I feel like it has been giving me the best enjoyment and it deserves this early review to serve as a commendation to how excellent this drama has been going thus far.

I never expected this drama to be this good in all honesty. I'm just glad to finally watch another ZLS & WL drama after quite a while but this masterpiece hook me from the very beginning till this very moment. It's a 'one in a thousand' type of production you'll got no choice but binge and get addicted to because of how crazily addicting and great it is.

Cheng Shaoshang as a female lead has been giving me nothing but pure joy and excitement. I feel like she was born and created to give non-stop color to brighten up my day. Every scene she's in felt like a whole damn amusement park ride— exciting and thriling. Take note that, not even once have I felt bored watching her. She's got a whole variety of entertainment in her that never cease to amuse me.

I also love how the story didn't dwell much on her sufferings with her relatives, Instead, they gave us another twist by showing us how parental love can be hard, rough and tough. It was indeed cruel I would say... and up till this moment I still can't agree that her Mother's way of disciplining her is correct. Heck! I even hated her mother a lot of times for using an 'Iron-Fist' to educate her because it hurt her even more. Not to mention how often her mother tells and shows her how someone is better than her and that she's nowhere close to how good her cousin Yangyang was. It made me upset so much to the point where I wish that she can just disown her mother and give her love to her 3rd Aunt instead because her real mother doesn't deserve it. But at the end of the day I just understand why her mother is doing it that way as well. It was because her mother loves her so much but didn't understand and know her at all. Her mother's lack of understanding of her made them drift miles apart as story goes by and I just hope that they can slowly reconcile and gain mutual understanding of each other in the next coming episodes.

Another thing I wanna mention is how lively and comical her entire family is. They were like a Circus troupe full of funny and unexpected tricks you'll never get tired of. I love how her Grandmother is greedy yet ignorant and how the rest of the remaining family and friends around truly loves and cares for her. Special mention to her Father, Maidservant, Qiqi and Brothers for being a great support and companion— specially during their silliest times.

Next is set of fine men who love and adores her...

×× Ling Buyi, I'm always satisfied with his character. He's always been respectful and honest with his own feelings and not even once disrespect the FL. Although he kind of lack the basic knowledge of how equality works, I just know that he'll do great in the future.

×× Lou Yao could've been a really great Husband and Partner to our FL but I'm just glad it didn't happen because I still want Ling Buyi no matter what. One thing I wanna mention is how pityful yet outstanding his character is. He's simply well written and would love to see him succeed and live a happy life with his Wife.

×× Yuan Shen is just like his Master. Cautious and coward to express his feelings. I just know that he'll be regretful and will suffer from a brokenheart for eternity because of how taciturn he is with his real feelings.

P.S. I badly need to mention how entertaining it was to watch all of them interact. Very different from the usual Jelousy scenes I was expecting but still very satisfying. It clearly shows how some men of the ancient past deals with Jealousy and stuff through their wits and imposing way.

Story - 10, It deserves beyond that honestly. Story is well-written and on top of that very funny and entertaining as a whole. No dull moments even once considering how l've finished Part 1 now.

Acting/Cast - 10, Solid and Perfect set of actors and actresses. I've never been this satisfied before with any dramas entire cast. I feel like they've got the best characters for each role and they also made me realized what real acting is. God, gonna mention how Zhao Lusi's acting is insanely one of the top and Wu Lei's imposing posture and body! whooa! He grew up so well from the Fei Liu (Nirvana in Fire) I've known and adore.

Music - 10, I'm really satisfied with their choice of music. I also love how the flute and its sound fit so well whenever Shen Shaoshang's playing it. I really thought they would murder it but they did extremely well in making it sound and look pleasant. P.S. Dubbing is really good too!!

Rewatch Value - 10, I would rewatch it again and again whenever I want to. It is one of those dramas that can never make you feel off and bored even one bit.

Overall - 10, Come on! This drama has been nothing but a masterpiece so far and i'm expecting it to constanly progress with the same intensity and satisfaction. I highly recommend this drama to everyone and I'm very excited to watch the Part 2.
