If I had to describe the drama in one word it would be: Beautiful. Everything about it is just so beautiful! ❤

-✿ CHARACTERS
Finally! Finally I got the FL I deserve! Si Teng is a queen and I‘m in love with her. She is strong, confident, intelligent and dominant but she also has a very kind, generous and vulnerable side. And she doesn’t take bullsh*t from anyone.
ML is a total nice guy! I thought he would either struggle or be intimidated by Si Teng as she made him her servant... but somehow.. he did neither. He was very kind and did as told but also talked to her if he thought she was in the wrong. He slowly grow on her and it was very obvious he fell for her. No words needed. I love how they showed how important Si Teng was to him...how much he loved her. It may seem at first like she is protecting him... but actually they are protecting each other. I loved their emotions and expressions.

Yan Fuiru is another strong character. First I didn‘t think so but he was very loyal and funny. A very good friend I‘d say. I even liked Bai Ying at the end. :) Great acting from all of them!

-✿ STORY
The story is very interesting too. Lots of mysteries to discover. They didn‘t reveal anything at all. They just added more and more mysteries until halftime.^^ Sometimes I felt a little lost but it also made me hella curious. At some point I wondered what is actually happening and then I was totally into it again. There were lots of funny scenes but it was also very emotional. Especially later. <3

-✿ AESTETHICS
Another strong point of the drama is the aesthetic. The filming locations and cinematography are stunning. The scenery and places are beautiful to the max. It looked like a more rural older town with forests and historical buildings. And it matched so well. Then there were Si Tengs outfits. Gorgeous! She dressed in more elegant clothes while ML wore typical modern clothes. There were fantasy elements that reminded me of cultivation dramas. And all that made the drama feel totally timeless. A rural beautiful location you wouldn’t know which year it is and the taking turns of modern and historical elements. It felt like I watched a mixture of historical and modern drama and it fit so well together! And then the OST! „Falling Star“ by Mian Zi is sooo beautiful and emotional! Even the opening was magnificent.

-✿ ALL IN ALL
The story was interesting. Lots of mysteries and more or less unpredictable twists. And its fun finding them all out. Very aesthetical pleasing and lovely dynamics between ML and FL. A very strong and confident but definitely not OTT female lead and a unique and kind ML. A very beautiful love story :3

I was very positively surprised. Finally a real woman as FL XD after this drama I will have difficulties going back to the usual naive FL chinese dramas... T_T

I don’t know if its for everyone...but I totally loved it. Give it a try ;) ❤
