All the cast definitely performed well!!! It exceeded my expectation. Initially, I watched it because of Zhao Lusi but I can't help but adore the other casts as well. They execute their roles awesomely. Most specially, the storyline is really good. It stands out, it's not just the typical c-drama with historical theme. It has its own flavor and it's really interesting to watch.

The angst between Niaoniao's and her mother's relationship always got me. They certainly displayed how mothers and daughters in reality usually be prideful to each other; that they could hurt each other just to prove their points and make the other person realize/feel what they lost.

Overall, I love this drama because it does not only highlight the romantic relationship between the two leads but the reality of how "family" treats each other when it comes to high and low situation.

DEFINITELY A HIGHLY RECOMMENDED SERIES. YOU WON'T REGRET WATCHING THIS.
