What could have been an interesting love story is ruined by confusing politics.
Half the time i don't even know what's going on.
The 9th prince and a princess are arranged to get married.
This marriage isnt something either of them wants. They are not in love with each other. But it is necessary for peace.
She is athletic and skilled with a bow but also rash and an airhead.
He is serious and skilled with a sword.
He sees their marriage as just business. She sees him as a jerk. But eventually he sees her beauty and she sees his bravery. They slowly get close.
But instead of focusing on their relationship evolving there is so much politics and assassination attempts and sabotage. Which I'm just not invested in. I don't really care about this kingdom.
It has a nice art style.
It…

This is very meh. It's not a bad show but most the similar genre shows (like Liang Bu Yi or Tong Ling Fei) do it better. The first season by itself cannot be considered as a complete show, so this review is more applicable to the first two seasons together. It makes no sense to watch the first season by itself as there is no conclusion to any arc and they haven't really developed any romance yet. Actually, they picked a rather atrocious place to end the season which will force you to watch season 2 just out of how unsatisfying it was.
The art and animation are pretty good, though nothing special. The backgrounds are detailed, and the foreground combines well with the background. The characters are pretty and wear nice vestments. The music is satisfactory, with some nice dizi or guzheng tr…

I am so pleasantly surprised with this. It was my first Chinese animation show, and I am shocked more people don't talk about it??? It was STUNNING: visually, emotionally, and plot-wise. The characters were all beautiful, the dialogue was hilarious and gripping, the plot was emotional and captivating, the music was gorgeous, and the entertainment value was 100%. I was completely obsessed with this show and could not stop watching. I had to literally pull myself away to get to my real life.
The romance was seriously so fun to watch and the development is realistic and raw. The characters make realistic decisions, have genuinely realistic emotional responses, and say relatable things. I am so so impressed with this show.
I really encourage you to give this show a chance. You'll be into i…

The art is very pretty, with beautiful backgrounds as well as nice character design. The story was fairly interesting, although quite political, but it doesn't have a proper ending. It just suddenly stops at a random, somewhat downbeat point, so episode 12 doesn't seem like the final episode at all. It's kind of a mix of action, slice of life, and romance, although the romance is almost non-existent (male lead is very cold). Each episode is very short; just over 10 minutes' content between the opening and ending, so it does not take long to get through. I basically kept watching for the art!
(It's based on the manhua "Prince! Don't Do This!")
