A Period Idol Mystery that was too easily solved with a lackluster romance.

5.2/10 Stars: A barely passable Wuxia/Xianxia hybrid with a romance that had good chemistry which was ultimately cancelled out by bland acting, choppy editing, and a plot that got bored with itself.

6/10 Stars: A twisty, complex Xianxia whose story is wasted on a high school theatre level production, bland acting, and too many episodes. Put me in there coach, and I will paper mache a set worthy of the plot. I can't full heartedly recommend, but the story is good...It's just all the other things.

2.5/5 Stars: Just no.

7/10 Stars: Somewhat stale in the romance and acting department, but the palace cases were intriguing and thought provoking. I recommend going into the drama with the mindset that it's not a romance, but solely a mystery.
