My Rating:
☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ 8/10 stars
Engaging storyline though a bit draggy in a few episodes at the middle but moves on quickly afterwards, great actors/actresses, nice music - really enjoyed both opening and ending, and last of all, the happy ending

The Women:
Loura Lou as Huang Cai Wei
She is clever, generous, and kind-hearted. But after being plotted against by Ma Fu Fang, Qiu Lin, and Bi He, she vows to become stronger to avenge her father and Gui Qing's deaths. She, Qian Sheng, and Qian Feng are childhood friends. She was Qian Feng's fiancee but after he disappears, she eventually marries Qian Sheng. She slowly falls for Qian Sheng because of how protective he is towards her and his deep affections for her.
I really like the actress that played her. She is really pretty! I thought her acting was really good. Her character mirrors the life of Zhen Huan except her man is not some cold-blooded, calculating man like the emperor in Zhen Huan. Cai Wei is really intelligent; her plots are well thought out and entertaining to watch. Though she returns for revenge, she is still genial deep down, she will not harm others who haven't harm her.
