This was a wonderful show, full of mystery, sabotage, feuds, and treason. A true fight to the death to overthrow the heirs of the throne. It was masterfully manipulated by Na Jin Ci, played by Richard Li, who kept us guessing if he was friend or foe, good or bad, loving or contemptuous. It is a must see, as the acting is well deserving of accolades and awards. The chemistry was palpable, as their passionate love / hate relationship was give / take all throughout the series. With plot twists and plans of revenge from their ruthless personalities clashing with each other, their love triangle was wreaking havoc and creating turmoil, as they fought desperately to survive each new feud or challenge faced. In the end, fate delt its final blows, and we find peace with our heroes efforts to right what was wrong, saving the country from peril and future uncertainty. All 5 leading characters were fantastic, Li Fei ( Richard Li ), He Xuan Lin, Wang Xing Wei, Ai Hong Chen, and Luo Yu Tian were a great team of actors working well together to make this series a success. You will not be disappointed, but you will want to watch this over and over again.
