Little did anyone know except for the Emperor's sister, Jiang Shao is the Emperor's illegitimate son whom she wants to help him to ascend the throne. 

My View

The story is not too bad though in between a little slow but still okay. It should not be two sisters in chaos as I don't see them causing much trouble other than the two "princes". The ending was kind of sad by the way.

My View

 

The plot is a simple and romantic one but because I'm someone who prefer ups and downs in a drama so I have to rate two stars. Really nothing much as compared to Love O2O 微微一笑很倾城. 

When I heard from a friend that on the day the episode of their wedding scene, the whole Tencent crashed I suddenly feel like ?? LOL!

My View

There is a spoiler where I'm skipping here and all I can say is the storyline is not too bad at some point. But most of them are so draggy and I literally fast forward most of the episodes. Why the need for side tracks? Why 56 episodes and not like 24? The two main leads are like getting sick, getting injured, saved each other, almost died and recovered a little and injured again then sick again. Over and over this cyle repeats itself. 

The scriptwriters seriously what is wrong with you guys??
