Tissue Rate (aka how much I cried); 3 out of 5

When I first started drama. Coming into it, I thought I wouldn't like it because I'm a picky person (generally) and I never finish the historical drams I watch or I would just skip a bunch of the episodes and only watch the parts that interest me but the first episode surprised me and I decide to continue to watch it.

First Episode Impression: I like how it was straight to the point. The main female lead Yunxi ( played by Ju Jingyi), I love how bold she is and she never doubts herself. I like how it was a cliff hanger type of first episode where it keeps you guesting "what happen?" or "why is it like this?". It keeps you on your feet.

- Later on all the questions you had about episode one, would be answered in episode two and three.

Chemistry: I LOVE LOVE the two main leads. Prince Qin (as known as Long Feiye), he portrays a cold hearted prince who all cared about revenging for Qinxi kingdom and finding the Poison Master to cure his Gu Abette poison that is in his system. But I love how he slowly starts to open up to Yunxi and suddenly you see that this cold heart prince, has a soft side and also love that every time she is in trouble or a dangerous situation, he is there to be the first one to help her. Yunxi, I love how devoted she is to Feiye. She never once told the Queen Mother about Prince Qin and despite the threats the Queen Mother would give her about her mother (Yunxi's mother), Yunxi would still never tell the Queen Mother about it.

This drama is the first Chinese historical I felt different about and the first drama where I'm willing to sit down and rematch it. The emperor throne story is still very similar to other historical dramas but the love interest was different. It was just like a simple love story it was a lot more. It was about a kid who was tested and forced to be a Gu Abette person and the arrange marriage between those two (Long Feiye and Han Yunxi) was more complex than most historical dramas. It was a arrange marriage assigned to Han Yunxi to spy on Prince Qin but later finds out she has fallen in love with him. I don't know but this drama will forever be in my heart, I love the two main leads so much, I hope to see them in a future drama together!! ❤️
