From all the promotion to the first episode everything seen to said that the FL (female Lead) was going to be some badass that fighted the rich to save the poor or she was going to be this revengeful warrior but no I am half though the series the only purpose of the FL is to be a love interest for the other MC (main characters) nothing more, she so un relevant the she could literally be removed from the series and the plot will have the same progress, to add to the unimportance of the FL her screentime is the same as any othe support character and the only times you actually see her she is either having some "romantic" interaction with the ML or having kung fu flashbacks while training but dont know for what bc everytime she get into a fight she is always saved by someone else and the other times that you expect her to fight or do something of relevance she does nothing. Well she actually do something important but is is 20 episode in the series when the typical FL have already met the emperor or something.
The only reason a I watched was for Zhao Liying which I think was awesome just like the other actors
