Good but way too long and the romance was poorly built

The storyline was very interesting, I was intirgued and followed all the way through despite not liking historical dramas normally. Despite this, I will say that I do think that I didn't learn any proper history of China. Everything in the story seemed a tad made up for me and I didn't learn any concrete facts compared to other historical dramas. Another despite this, even thoug it was interesting at first, I lost interest eventually because the series was extremely long and it seemed to be very milked out. It was weird because the first hald was good as it was a mix of romance, frienship and histroical but the latter hald was bad as it only portrayed historical aspects, completely forgetting to add romance or development between then characters. I loved the characters and their development, I think the actors did a great job and there was absolutely no fault in that aspect. The other negative thing about this series is the romance. You would think that a romance series will give proper reasons on why the main characters fell in love but this one didn't. It would have made more sense is Xiang and Shen ended up together as they had more romantic and meaningful moments with each other. Xiang's and Gu's love seemed forced and senseless. He loves her because why? And she loves him because he always protects her? It's just weird and their chemistry is very meh. I would recommend it if you’re bored or you love Xu Kai like me and are willing to watch 48 episodes for him.
