This series starts off great and sets the context story quite well and sadly written. It was quite a decent level of disappointment to see how Ni Chang emerges from adversity. Moving along the story though at the expense of good subplots which dont last for very long but could have added dimensions to the whole story a really drawn out boring middle takes up a lot of episodes. The qaulity of the essence of the story could have taken 27 episodes and not 40.

The evil one of the show remains evil all the way (I hate that when they dont get dealt with at least some of the way) and so it gets really boring the evil lead staying evil all the time. The development of a love story subplot is nice but sloooowwww.....cos he's a prince and the female lead well theyve made her look bright when she's actually quite stubborn and dumb at times. So,me repetitive characteristics of support cast e.g. xian yuang and cheng tian.....can see why this series scores like it does, its not a Fuyao but has tinges of it in it.
