Read one review from someone who didn't like the big age gap between the two leads but that's how the story is. ShiYi (Seven Tan's) character is supposed to be 16 years old marrying his older brother-in-law when her sister died. At first I didn't understand why they choose an older actor (male lead) to portray this character Ling Yi but that's what he is supposed to be, an older guy who is already a general. Although there's a big age gap, I am not surprised to see Seven Tan and Wallace (female lead and male lead) have great chemistry. Seven Tan' is such a great actress and she makes everything look so natural. She works well with any male lead you pair her with. She is the queen of Chemistry and can work well with any male lead. With any Chinese historical drama, the men of the house always have a legal wife (matron) and several concubines. I love the deep relationship between Shi Yi and her mom. I love her character Shi Yi , strong but gentle, knows to survive and being independent. She and her mom were cast out without any support from the Luo family but they survived by selling her embroidered products. I like the pace where they have to show how she overcome all the challenges thrown at her, and slowly gained her husband's trust and respect. I like the fact that she is not afraid to speak up when she was wrongly accused. So far, I am enjoying watching the drama and will continue to watch it every night . Looking forward to see all the episodes. I love seeing how she solved each issues/problems as they arise (either caused by her own family, concubines and mother in law).
