First, it is worth watching because of its cinematographic quality, the contrast of lights and colors, as well as its subliminal messages.
Cao Pi and his wife, they don't love each other, but destiny wants to connect them, there is a saying in China that there is a red wire that connects each person that can break, but never separates, in the sense that they try to stop the connection , but the tie ties them together.
Strong women are presented to us as the wife of Zhang Chunhua (photo from the beginning) of the main character, but when everything seemed to go well in the drama, it was when the drama fell, with the death of Cao Cao (he is the leader Houseold, Cao's father) Li, Exis in Chinese history (photo below) and Sima Yi gets involved in a love triangle. - And I was thinking that this would be a better drama than Nirvana in Fire, still dreaming of a drama like this.
Even so, I still suggest that you see it because of the Cao Pi-Guo Zhao shippe. The relationship is very worthwhile. I hope part 2 can bring us more about strategy and nation building (and the sons of Sima) instead of unappetizing love triangles.
