I’m always so astonished at how intricate and complicated Chinese series can be and surprisingly I can still keep up. Chinese drama series really ingrain a lot of values and lessons. When I have children, I will make them watch these too haha. 

Yuwenyue: he is such a patient character. I like how he slowly puts down his privileged and cool side; and becomes more down to earth. He seems like a little boy with his feelings, but it’s refreshing to see him not be afraid to show his feelings towards Xinger although at times it was cheesy and hilarious. When he finally puts down his family’s honor and starts fighting for what he believes, I find him way more attractive. Finally shaking off the family chains that tied him down against his true heart. Side note, Lingengxin has a huge nose LOL. We all knew he was a genius, but I like how his character was balanced out with his stupid love. He always seemed one step ahead with everything, but when it came to Xinger, he was always chasing behind. His patient love for Xinger really drew on my heartstrings. When he tells her to rest a little and then be strong again ;_; When he doesn’t let any possibility of danger prevent him from protecting Xinger....he didn’t want to keep her by his side because he wanted her to live the way she wanted to, oh god. This selfless love is too much. Too soon to talk about this after finishing the series last night ;_; 

Yanxun: He has the most drastic transformation of all characters. From a carefree, humorous prince to a dark, ruthless ruler. Really didn’t find him attractive at all at the beginning, but his character grew on me. I thought his form after he had the transformation was a little extra, but I guess it drives home his new side with the dark eyeliner, hair and clothes. His story is so tragic....first half of the drama, he’s a puppet. The three episode long tragedy with his family was heart wrenching. Literally cried all night in bed when I saw the episodes. His powerless character at that time was unbearable to watch. I liked the bromance that he and Yuwenyue had, things that were out of character for Yuwenyue to do, he would help him. Maybe for his own likings, but he was a good sidekick to Yuwenyue when there were that many enemies. His love for Chuqiao was so wrong, but so understandable. His quiet love...soon to be blinded by his own hatred and vengeance. It’s sad how it panned out, but I guess it also shows another turning point of the story when Yanxun loses the last thing he loves genuinely. He picked this path. I thought he would be smart enough to realize that Chuqiao has a very strong sense of will and righteousness so his actions would definitely cause some sort of rift between them. He gambled on Chuqiao’s love and trust with him. He basically pushed her buttons until she couldn’t handle it anymore. He always expected her to understand him without any explanations. It’s slightly frustrating, but what’s a drama without such a torn character right?

Xinger/Chuqiao (Xinger when in context with Yuwenyue): Where do we even start with her....she had so many forces against her throughout the drama. Surviving as a slave, death of various family members, jailed with Yanxun, leaving Yuwenyue, having her beliefs challenged one by one, leading an abandoned army....talking about her character makes me tired. You really don’t realize all the shit she’s gone through until you sit down and think about it. Literally a laundry list of constant struggles. There doesn’t seem like a moment where she isn’t fighting. I love and hate her character. She was so strong, but stubborn. It was hard seeing her be passionate about Yanxun’s dream only to be slowly torn apart by his true dream. I wish we knew a little more about her past throughout the series instead of getting it chucked at us in the last episodes. The way they sprinkled her past throughout the series was weird. I like Xinger’s childish side that she showed with Yuwenyue bc it seemed like she could be herself and be carefree which you really don’t see with anyone else that she interacts with. Her silent love for Yuwenyue was a little unbearable. She couldn’t do anything for him ;_; Replay all their carefree, bickering moments x230945735894. Yanxun and Chuqiao’s bond was basically the second half of the drama. Their struggles together....Chuqiao ready to give her life at every moment for him compared to what she would do for Yuwenyue at the time. Complete 180 of bonds with each of our male leads. I guess that’s what makes her so interesting. She was so hard on herself throughout the series. Even when Yanxun made it hard for her, she felt it like she could’ve done something. I love her courageous and self-help attitude. She always feels like she can do something. I like seeing her soft side with Yuwenyue. Heartaches, but it’s a fuller character development. I love that she kicks everyone’s ass. She does have some damsel in distress moments, but she is nonetheless a Chinese Wonder woman. 

Yuancun Princess: wow, I hated her so much throughout the series, but in the end, I felt sympathy for her. The many misfortunes and tragedies that were around her. She, herself was to blame most of the drama, but then I started understanding her craziness and feel sympathy for her. She didn’t deserve everything she received and in the end, got a “sorry” from Yanxun and everything seemed just that much more heartbreaking. Her own tragedy added on the deaths of everyone she ever loved or loved her....jeez. She was naive and stuck up, but wrath came upon her and never stopped. To live like she did one tragedy after another, she is so resilient. I would even dare compare her will to live as strong as Chuqiao’s. Both of our female characters are so strong willed and persevere, i’m a fan. 

Xiaoce Prince: oooooo I love him. Not really an important character, but he is so adorable!!! I love how ridiculous he is. He was probably the funniest part of the drama. It’s unfortunate that he fell in love with Chuqiao, but he was the type to quietly protect her. I like that he looked clueless, but ended up being cunning too. He was a very understanding and mature character. Although I know his eventual tragedy, I want him to live forever!!! He seemed like the most righteous character. 

Yuansong Prince: most childish, adorable character until he suffers his misfortune. His love for Chuqiao was so pure and cute. Multiple times, he was very upfront about his love which is refreshing to see compared to Yuwenyue’s silent love and Yanxun’s assumed love. I really enjoyed seeing Yuansong go from being a high up prince to someone down to earth and caring of the people. Even going through all the tragedies, he was never hateful and vengeful which is basically apparent in every single person in the drama. Kind-hearted little fella. In the second part, I hope he ends up finding new love with Mengfeng! 

Emperor: he’s an idiot. Doubted all his subjects, used his children, killed the innocent people of his nation. Such a despicable character....on his death bed, he finally has some sense to cease war. He is the biggest antagonist and trigger of the drama. 

Daliang Princess: not sure why she had such a large part in the drama....but sucks for her Romeo and Juliet one sided love. 

Actually need to do some work now......maybe continue later.
