Ji Yuan Su is the ice-cold Crown Prince of a powerful kingdom whose safety and prosperity owes much to the loyalty of the Hua clan. The Hua clan stuck by the kingdom's monarchs through thick and thin and a Hua clan military general helped the kingdom win a famous and decisive victory. But Ji Yuan Su is less interested in this than his predecessors. He shows no emotion no matter what crosses his path and this has won him a reputation for coldness and indifference. However, he appears to have met his match when he encounters the military general's daughter Hua Liu Li. This woman is every bit as haughty and strong-minded as the Crown Prince, although she - at first glance - seems to be as meek as a lamb. And when they meet, they both secretly resolve to outwit each other. But as these two fiery souls collide, could love bloom between them? And could they eventually form a powerful union that will help bring peace to the realm?

Reviews
Surprisingly good!
Didn’t expect anything when I started this drama but it really surprised me! Not too serious, the perfect amount of court intrigue, excellent pacing, funny and the romance is sweet.I’m not the biggest fan of the ML and the FL but together, they work and makes perfect sense. Every thing about them screams the perfect couple - their looks, their aura and their intelligence. The casting director hit the nail on the head.
Im loving this strong, beautiful FL and can’t wait to see what going to happen next.
Cute Couple -- Wily and yet Charming FL + Multi-faceted ML
Having watched this drama, I must say that I enjoyed the ride! :)What I liked:
- The leads are good-looking. Oh man, the two leads are gorgeous to look at and so cute together.
- I like a smart FL who can take good care of herself and Hua Liu Li (HLL) does just that. She can take good care of herself and others around her. I like her charms and her gift of the gab. She can be coquettish. She can be feisty. She is a capable person.
- I like a devoted ML who loves and protects his sweetheart. The ML is very handsome and very manly. I think he acts well too because in front of HLL, he is all puppy-eyes and wanting her attention. However, when it comes to being the Crown Prince and handling his duties, he is all intelligent, competent, courageous and a force to be reckoned with. He is THE MAN, for sure.
- Yuan Wei (YW), HLL's maid, is the best maid ever. HLL and YW are so cute together. She looks adorable and she is smart and capable too.
- Tian Jia Min (TJM) and her mother, Princess Shun An, are so cute. TJM is all bark and no bite. She became reluctant and yet, good friends with HLL after both girls were kidnapped and went through "thick and thin" together. TJM's mother is always fan-girling about HLL's mother. So cute.
- The king is a nice man and a good king/ father (on the whole).
- HLL's family members are nice. They support her and have her interests at heart.
- Yun Han understood the error of his ways and stopped betraying ML.
- I like that Ying Wang and the third prince are not out to usurp the Crown Prince's position. The brothers actually co-exist nicely despite the machinations of their scheming mothers.
- The "Easter egg" endings are funny.
What I didn't like that much:
- Psycho plotter/ mastermind who has a Jekyll and Hyde personality. Atrociously manipulative. I do understand that we need to have some tension and suspense and something happening in the plot but he was a pain to watch. So nasty and horrid.
- Song Shu dies in the end which made me cry too. He really held the fort and was a father/ brother figure for HLL.
Overall, the plot is engaging and riveting enough (IMO). I truly enjoyed watching both FL and ML. They are good-lookers who light up my screen. Their acting is also good. There is also a lot of heart in this drama. I highly recommend this drama! It is a pretty fun watch!
