Overall the show is awesome, the romance of our leads was very beautiful and I enjoyed the character development of all of them. what I didn't like however was the fact that Yuan shanjian, the 3rd Prince and the crown prince still dont have love. Them I thought of someone who might be a match for Yuan shanjian. Meet yan lisheng.
Yan lisheng is the 3rd daughter of the yan family, she is the illegitimate daughter as her mother is her father's concubine. Her father and mother were once in love but her father cheated on her mother and married his first wife then convinced her mother to be his concubine. As a result, lisheng also doesn't believe in marriage, that is why she is 25 and unmarried. She is intelligent, well mannered(when she has to be), loyal to those she loves, strong, cold to her enemies, doesn't tolerate nonsense. She isn't interested in gossip but loves finding out the truth about matters. No one dares to mess with her cause she knows their secrets. Her father is a county magistrate so she is a noble lady.
She meets Yuan shanjian who is still hung up on chen shaoshang when he visits her father while investigating something. Her family somehow gets involved in the mystery and she decides to find out the truth with Yuan shanjian. Given their similar personality they often bicker. They grow to respect each other and develop a mutual friendship. Or so they think. What happens when two people who hate marriage and love get caught in it's web?😏
