Firstly my expectations for this series was low I just wanted to watch something I could enjoy but what I didn't expect was to fall in love with so many of the lead characters and that I would root for the main romance so hard.

Before I get into the characters I need to rave about the OST. The two songs Empty City and Fireworks Meet The Sky?!?!? Stream those songs IMMEDIATELY they are too good.

Now our male lead Murong Cang does what he needs to when asked to be a cold enuch but my God when he smiles I feel all the butterflies the way he defends our FML is very pleasing to me and my homegirls and sure there were moments where I wish he would give up the tough guy act but when he was sweet he was truly the sweetest and his actor did a amazing job portraying him.

Our female lead Yunjian, I saw a review calling her dumb and as someone who's watched the show please tell me when she was dumb because from jump my sis was thinking before she acted so I'm going to have to disagree with that, I loved her from jump she was sweet and tried her best always standing up for others and wasn't a pushover and she kissed her ML first and we love a women who knows what she wants, a truly amazing lead I was rooting for her from start to finish.

Princess Xueqing at first I didn't like her, for obvious reasons, but as the drama continued I found myself wanting her to get her own happy ending, her relationship with Yunjian in the latter half was truly heartwarming and she got her happy ending and that was all I needed.

Fugui the icon that you are I know they had to kill his character for plot reasons but that doesn't mean I should accept it, that was a real one from jump and watching him die broke me, he shall be missed.

Please watch this drama it's amazing and really well executed if you want a good time without having to watch 40 minute long episodes.
