CONTAINING SPOILERS
I watched it because the starting is interesting however it is lacking in the plot wise. i don't really supporting the main leads cuz how their relationship progressing was confusing, silly and keep the same trope for at least 3 times iirc. she suddenly mad when he was the one who supposed to be mad but he consoled her either way. he is too nice for her honestly but she still bad mouthe him saying mean things like how he is cold and mean when he's really nice.

the fl is so dumb. she always tried to 'help' despite everyone already warned her to stay put. everytime she's 'helping' the ml would almost always ended up injured because of her. she never listens to anyone. if the ml got irritated she would get upset and sulk. the ml is too nice so he would always surrender. the situations never be better when fl is on screen. she's also really useless. she can't even dodge attacks and needed ml to help her. the real princess despite a noble born also know that much and didn't make it harder for her partner at all.
well, her father is also irritating. even though they're moving in discreet he would still let out his loud voice. also, the past truth arc. damn he got someone killed and 'regretted' it a lot but then few years later his daughter was taken by the bandits because of the same reason again. while in the den, he drank, gambled like an idiot who never learns his lesson. i wish he would just die before the series end but lol lucky him.

2nd couple are wholesome. their story progressed well and make their love so genuine. while Xiao Bao indeed liked her bcs of her pretty and elegant appearance, as the story progress he fell deeper ( love ) because of her understanding, personality and all of her. he's also really nice to her since the beginning though he's a bandit. i like the real princess better and her character really suits her title. i love them so much. i have no complaints at all except for the ending. they was supposed to travel around the world, carefree as normal civilian but now that he is bestowed the position of Vice General, their dreams would not be able to be fulfilled anymore. that's a shame because it kind of makes the 2nd couple message gone. they're supposed to be "a noble born woman who gave up her title to be with a former bandit as a normal civilian and spending the rest of their life traveling around the world without any care about status"
now they had to stay in the capital, just like before. stuck in their manor. it's a pity
