This historical Chinese drama has everything well-balanced and stays clear of annoying devious and jealous third parties and petty squabbles. It's very inspirational. 3 generations of males in a family were exiled to the cold north for hard labour by the emperor and left behind 3 generations of their women and children to fend for themselves in the imperial city. There are very sad moments and very joyful moments too. The struggles these ladies go through in ancient China will enrage you and our strong and fearless female lead will inspire you. The series is fast paced and doesn't have a dull moment with a good balance of family drama, romance, palace intrigues and fighting scenes. The opening and closing songs are very catchy and good too. Highly recommend to watch.
