From someone who has a strong liking for wuxia/guzhuang shows, I didn't really enjoy this drama. I felt that there was little/no chemistry between the lead actors and actress. It took a lot of patience and commitment to finish watching all 50 episodes. Probably because I am a sucker for romance/ lovey-dovey scenes and this drama didn't have a lot of that. And before watching this I just finished another guzhuang drama which I really enjoyed (Princess JieYou, its great!!) Nonetheless I must say the plot is rather fine and not too disappointing. I only watched it for Liu Shi Shi. Maybe because I never liked QiYu and never shipped them together so I didn't like it. I would totally ship Ye Xian and YunXian though.
