I. Introduction
This drama is proof that if the production team commits to the theme, no matter how ludicrous the storyline is or how substandard the costume looks, the drama can still score almost perfect marks. Everything, from the characters' names to the plot to the costumes and makeup to the music, was eccentric crack. Zhangsun Wuhen (the FL, whose name is literally 'eldest grandson no hatred') is granted the title Commandery Princess and sent to Xiangxiong (literally, Elephant Bear) for a political marriage. After 3 years, she arrives in Xiangxiong alone as her entourage has been beaten and eaten by monsters during the journey. There, she finds out that Xiangxiong practises polyandry in addition to polygyny, and thus, she is to marry all 5 brothers of the Kun family: Prime Minister Nima Yixi, Defence General Heima Renzeng (literally, 'black horse, increasing benevolence'), businessman Duojin Zhandui (literally, 'lots of gold, to possess heaps'), top idol Baima Jiacuo (literally, 'white horse, excellent measures'), and child prodigy Gaerben Dalongwajiong (literally, 'karma you fool, attain (and) gather distant roof tiles'). The FL tries to strategise a way out of the polygamous marriage, but in the meantime she must comply with Xiangxiong's laws.

I enjoyed this drama so much because of its constant subversion of expectations. The writing team took every single costume, political-marriage-themed drama and inverted the plot points, resulting in a highly entertaining work product. Because they fully committed to the crack humour theme, every scene is judge by that standard and no mistake could be found.

II. Story and Plot
The drama mostly focusses on the FL's daily life being married to the 5 brothers. There really isn't a single plot thread connecting the episodes, and each episode could be watched in isolation of the others without much mental gymnastics. Some episodes are pure crack (subverting common palace romance/ palace intrigue tropes) while others are sardonic about modern day politics and society. In the first few episodes, it would appear that the 5 brothers are not too pleased about having the FL as their wife but this is later negated. In episode 5 they sweetly cheer her up after realising she may be homesick, and episode 9 hints that there was a reason the FL is chosen as the political marriage victim. In episode 11, the truth is revealed. Episode 12 leaves an opening for season 2, but considering this was aired in 2021, I hold zero hopes for a second season.

III. Characters
ZXB is a FL who is trying to navigate life being essentially a political hostage in a foreign nation, while LBY, WHX, YHM, LMJ, and PJQ are parodies of the male leads in costume/ palace romance dramas.
Here's the thing: ZXB, LBY, WHX, YHM, LMJ are all very good looking people in real life/ other dramas. Due to the concept of this drama, certain aspects of their facial features were magnified to create cartoonish images. The only one who looks normal in this drama is PJQ as Gaerben Dalongwajiong. In terms of acting chops, kudos must be given to the cast; they fully committed to the theme and delivered not just cracked pots but pots smashed to smithereens.

IV. Production Aspects
Production oscillates between seriously good quality investments, e.g., the FL's costumes, the Xiangxiong queen's costumes, and the animated parts, and seriously cheap quality trash, e.g., Heima Renzeng's costume, the Xiangxiong king's costume, the Xiangxiong imperial greeting room. The theme song plays up the crack pot humour.

V. Conclusion
If you need something light-hearted, easy to watch, this is the drama for you. However, do not expect any intelligence from it, as the production team was clearly taking the mickey out of everything and everyone, and in some episodes, highly un-PC-ed (unpolitically-corrected).
