I had my doubts at first to start it then gave it a try and wow. This drama is something I look for. A drama where you don't see bitch and jerk characters fawning over the male lead or female lead.

This drama talks about sacrificing one's self for justice. I fell in love with the male lead (Zuo Qing Ci) Everything he does is for the greater good. He may not be the strongest but he is the smartest. He's kind and someone who cares. He doesn't crave for power and wealth rather he hope for the health of people and the safety of the nation. He loves the female lead (Su Yun Luo) unconditionally. He is willing to do everything for her even if it means killing himself. He sacrificed a lot for her and it includes his chance to live longer. When it comes to her, he doesn't care about his safety which goes the same for her. He's often misunderstood by her because he keeps things to himself to not hurt her.

I liked the side characters as well and the side stories are as beautiful as the main plot. I want to praise and curse the writer for such matter. A lot of the characters in the story died especially Jiang'er and Changge, two characters with such wonderful personality. They chose death than betrayal. I wish they didn't die.

Zhu yan, another character I like. I understand why he did what he did. He suffered a lot. He lost everyone he had. He was pushed to the edge. He felt like he had no one. He was deprived of his right to have a family and enjoy having it. I hoped it ended better for him but the writer killed him like Jiang'er and Changge.

Shen Manqing and Wen Suyian/ Sima lang, two characters that I as well fell in love with. I liked how they had happy ending. Honestly, when I see others dying one by one in the drama, I thought all of them will die.

To cut it short, this drama will bring you to tears for many painful scenes. I like the music. I like the entrance song... I kept wanting to hear it so unlike other dramas, I didn't skip the song at the start every episode
