This story had me going crazy but it was good. Have tissues handy because you will drop some tears. I loved the storyline because it was a little different than most. Ma Tian Yu played the Emperor and his task was very complicated but had a passion to be the Emperor. Excellent acting! Wan Qian who played the Empress, wow, she took charge! A lot of revenge and avenging had me breathing hard. A lot of blood spilled from the first episode to almost the last episode. The ending will leave you in awe! DO NOT skip any episodes or you will ruin it for yourself. I know it is long but just think of it as a vacation. lol.
