Where to begin... this was an awesome drama. I watched it online and quality may not have been
good but overall the story was pretty good. This is a grand narrative about a modern women stuck
in centuries old aristocratic society. WIll her heart which leans towards modern values of friendship
and monogamy win against dogmatic aristocratic rules and hierarchy?
She was liked by most of the princes, became sweetheart of two of them but they were not able to
let go of their obsession with the throne and mutual hatred it bred.
The 4th prince who was supposed to be the fated suitor for Ruo Xi (lead female character) made a small
mistake due to his deep seated haterd and missed the chance of his last good bye with Ruo Xi.

Ruo Xi also suffers from curse of Omniscience. She is anxious most of the time knowing
the bloody fate which awaits most of the princes. It makes her sick.
Towards the end of the story however she discovers that it was infact her involvement with the 8th prince
which had a cascading effect and resulted the history as she knew it (weird time paradox)

The drama is kind of dark. All the actors have done a brilliant job. Cecilia Liu was fabulous as Ruo Xi.
Nicky Wu was excellant as 4th Prince. Their chemistry was impeccable.
Their sad scenes made me jerk tears. Lots of longing and regrets.
