Can you give yourself for love ? I can't, but can you ? Zhu Yun can.
It's a very good drama with very good actors and a good storyline. I really liked the overall feeling the story gave me and more importantly i loved the FL.But there is one thing i can't understand about her and that's her unconditional love for Li Xun. This guy is such a red flag, he never gives anything first, never puts himself on the line for her. She's just endlessly giving and he's always receiving. The little he gives (dress, food or just a smile) lets her feel extatic and that's sad to see. He's like and iron door on an iceland and she needs to warm the whole island before he dares to look at her. I know some ppl will disagree saying "he has traumas" or "he has business in mind" but when you put yourself in her shoes and the guy you love treats you like this your love will quickly turn into disdain. I would've loved if she was feeling disgusted by him and made him crawl for her but no. Whatever it was really good either way.
My girlies reading this remember : never crawl for a man, as a woman society makes you crawl since birth and when you learn to stand up, you have to stand firm on your feet or less some man will want you on your knees again.

I liked the overall story but it was way too long and had way too much misunderstandings. What i remember mostle is XuanJi calling "SiFeng" 20 times a day, like girl he's in front of you relax. I loved SiFeng, who loves like this nowadays ? I remember reading a post about what kind of ML Op wanted and she wrote "a pathetic one" and that's SiFeng. If you want a ML that can do no wrong well you have him here.
But i didn't like the 20 episodes where misunderstandings were the only things we saw, XuanJi's dad is really the kind of dad thhat i wish noone will ever have cuz you have awful and you have him worst than everything. Reminded me of MingLan's dad. You'll think "well he's not abusing her" yes he's doing worst giving some fake fatherly love but degrading you everyday hoping secretly that you'll desapear so he'd finally not have to care about your well-being.
Well whatever, the plot is great. I'll say it again with 15 less episodes it would've been one of the best shows i've ever seen.
EDIT : The opening song is amazing. Really fits the story 😍 🧡

I just came to say : it's been a while since drama made me laugh that much.
You know laugh out loud litteraly it was so hard to keep laughing quietly (i watched it during the night). I didn't feel the episodes, i watched it in one go. It made me cry then laugh or cry and laugh at the same time. I loved both MCs, i already know the actress, she's really talented but it's my first drama with the actor as a ML and he's fantastic in this kind of role.Whatever just watch it.

That's the first drama that i loved after reading the manhua first. Normally i tend to dislike the little changes and inputs that drama adaptations tend to do.I primarily began to watch it for Zhao Lusi like everyone i think, but fell in love for the ML instead.
But here the changes are for the best, since in the manhua we spend half of the story watching her when she's 14. All the interactions between them when she's 17 in the drama never occured in the manhua she's 15 when he graduates and she never sees him again for like 5 years, they have a 7-8 year age gap if i remember correctly. When she sees him again she's a sophomore not a freshman, the first time they interact again he doesn't recognize her since last time he saw her she was really young, but when he knows that it's been almost a year and a half she's in the same town and she didn't go to see him he's really hurt. Oh and the drama with his debtor is really more heavy in the manhua, she's really stalking him nonstop and end up in prison for that.
So i really liked that all the heavy drama was changed and the phase of her 14 yo self shortened because that was really long in the manhua. I also liked that they changed her age to 17 when she falls in love with him it gives another feeling than a little girl crush but more of a first love.
Now onto the drama itself. The cast is wonderful, i loved every one of the actors, the actress who plays her mom played her mom in Love like a Galaxy and i hated her in it, but here she's beautiful and such a good mom. Her brother, i loved him in the manhua but here it's another level, he's awesome !
I have to say it ! I fell in love with the ML, like i fell in love with the ML of Lovely Runner two days ago. I was surprised to see that they found an actor who looks exactly like the ML is drawn in the manhua and embodies perfectly the character. I watched a lot of Zhao Lusi's dramas and i thought her couple with Yang Yang in Who rules the world was the best i've seen of her but no i was wrong, she has here sooo muuuch chemistry with the ML (i'm sorry i don't know his name). He's so charismatic when he was on screen i couldn't look away. I paused too many times to calm my heart (it's rare for me to feel that way). I was mindblown by this actor's performance here.
Now that i have finished watching it all i can wish for myself is that kind of lover to find me.

A huge miss
Everything is here for this drama to be a great one but they decided to portray a "strong woman" as a dumb woman who barely knows how to fight. Since the beginning i found her dumb but i was waiting for a character development since she was still naive. They introduced her like a smart girl but she barely uses her brain.I was watching and saying "why doesn't she investigate what really happened ?", because we all know sometimes we see some things and guess but it's not really what happened.
I knew i was going to drop it when she attacked her uncle knowing he's stronger than her. I hate dumb main characters than think they're smarter than everyone else.
I know i'm harsh i didn't even watch 10 episodes to jugde this drama to be not that good but since i don't like Leo Wu (i find his acting really stiff), i apparently don't like the FL and since there isn't any chemistry between them i don't see why i would torture to myself to watch someting knowing i'd scream at the FL.
I find the beginning of the plot messy af.
It's a little all over the place but whatever i don't want to waste my time anymore.

Wherever this is going it's going without me !
I dropped it after watching 11 episodes.I just can't keep watching this when nothing makes sense. Like if she was this smart why attack the king openly ? Why is it normal to go on an edge of a mountain to grab a flower alone ? Why is the acting of all the actors so poor ? Or maybe they act well but it's badly endited ? Whatever nothing makes sense or stands out.
Even if the FL is smart and pretty (my type of main character) i think the story is just badly written, the plot could've been really interesting if written correctly.
FL and ML don't even have that much of chemistry on screen for me to keep watching for the romance only.
