This drama without any big stars is the only one I'm following during the Spring Festival. Zhang Tian Ai's performance is beyond expectations. She has a bit of the Mulan's joining the army vibe - resilient, with a determined and unwavering gaze. The supporting cast, though not well-known, fits their roles well. The storyline is tight, with occasional moments of humor. The war scenes are well-executed, and it's evident that the production team put in a lot of effort. It's much more enjoyable to watch compared to some fantasy dramas.

You only need to watch until the tenth episode of this drama... Couldn't they stick to the original character personality and mission setup for the male lead? Did they have to create a boring fool of a male lead to balance it out? If they had focused solely on the female lead, I think it would have been enjoyable to watch without the need for a romantic storyline. I don't understand what they were thinking by cramming so many unnecessary romantic plotlines in the later episodes.

Overall, it's not bad, but the portrayal of the male lead's character is a bit too foolish and love-struck at the moment. When he stands among the two military commanders, besides having a bunch of supporting characters around him, you can't see any personal abilities or even a bit of strategic thinking from him... It's fine to have him as the comedic relief for a couple of episodes, but if they keep portraying him like this, it might become a bit tiresome.

The casting was fitting, and the production quality was good, but what was the plot? I've abandoned it. It looks promising, but around episodes 9-10, there were many unreasonable aspects. An emperor trying to kill someone, but they just can't seem to die. The addition of comedic elements felt particularly strange, making the male lead seem like a complete fool. Considering that he just lost his father and is facing a tumultuous fate, it's really bizarre.
