There are a few run about spoilers about the characters and not what happens. I found this drama to be refreshing even if it had the traditional bad people/family,murder, rebellion and love. Being only 22 episodes it was packed with emotions of happiness, funny, a few tears, yelling at the TV and completed with no cliffhanger. I found the cast chosen to be perfect for the characters they portray with great chemistry when needed. The music/Oost were on spot to the theme and episodes. We had the good then bad Prince Liu guangping who wants to rebel against his brother the Emperor and nephew CP Liu wang for the throne. Then we have the sasdy, fun, lively and cute Liu Ling aka Princess chang le that helps her cousin keep the throne against a man known as her father. She meet and fall in love with Shen yan military leader and does everything to win his love and their chemistry and relationships is A+. We also have the Lady in waiting Xu shin "Jin" who is very smart and strong willed fighting to clear her XU family name of treason. Jin isnt aware that Shen yu is helping and protecting her disguised as the" ghost" they were childhood sweethearts and he never stopped waiting for her. The final couple is Luo Fan (Shen yan Rt hand man) and Ling bei (Liu ling handmaid/friend) they are young, innocent and its so cute to watch there relationship grow into love. The story has many plots of good and evil intentions, but at the same time they don't drag it out. Great fun watching Good looking stars... I have probably rewatch 3/4 drama as there are so many out there so i marked 5 in between.
