This was such a fun drama. Its one of the few dramas with fast pacing and development. Everything that happens just further the story. There are barely any politicking or boring moments. My favorite parts was whenever the leads are together. Especially the first time when he stayed the night with her. She kissed him on the nose while asleep and he was so flustered! It was so cute!! Their chemistry was so natural. She is also not afraid to push him away when he gets too close.
Princess Chu Yue is so cute! This is the first drama I've seen Hu Yi Xuan. I love getting to watch actors I haven't seen and falling for them and their characters. Chu Yue is our modern day fangirl. She loves fantasy books and daydreaming about a hero to save/love her. Being a princess, she just wants freedom to live like the characters in the books. Little did she know... she has already marry a great hero. She was also the cutest mouse, pig, dog... awww.
Xue Yao has such a pleasant face for an (not so) intimidating general. I wish his character would smile more. It was so fun to watch him get unconfortable when Chu Yue becomes extra flirty and make him blush. We always see the guy teasing the girl, I loved that it was the other way around!
Su Nan Nan had great development. At first she was like a spoiled child crying for what she wants. But when she was defending Chu Yue, her morals as someone who can fight showed us that she is more then a jealous side character. She will defend the weak no matter what. Her schemes to win Xue Yao never worked, but it was fun to watch.
Prince Shun was such a conflicting character. I didn't want to like him nor hate him. When he realize he had real deep feelings toward his sister, he was shocked and locked himself away. He was still annoyingly getting in the way of the leads. In the end, he only wanted the best for Chu Yue and as long as she is happy he would always support her. I'm glad he didn't abandon her because their background growing up together was so sweet, it would have been a waste if he left. I also liked what he said about Xue Mu, that he became just like the man he use to look down on.
Naxi entering the drama was ...I guess just to give us another hurdle (heartbreak). She was so psycho.  
There is a great shocking twist to the story about the brother. Its so bitty sweet but I really liked how it was done. I didn't see it coming.
