If I could rate it more than 10 I would. This drama has impacted me the most. It's just so morbidly beautiful. The love between a princess and her eunuch, it's extremely tragic and painfully innocent. I loved the emperor too, he was kind and benevolent to his people but that didn't mean he was flawless, afterall the heaven's son is still human. The empress is such a strong character, she loved but her love was never reciprocated. At the end she could only do her duty to get the emperor's attention and this made her so strict. The emperor's one true love the concubine is also tragic, she truly loved the emperor but was forced to be a demon by the ruthless harem politics. While the concubine (Huirou's mother) she only wanted her daughter to be happy by at the end couldn't protect her. The novel that this story is inspired from is by far the most tragically beautiful novel I've ever read and the drama is befitting too. I just wish they paid more attention towards the love story.
