Tong Ling Fei

When Qian Yunshang's marriage to Ye Youming is arranged by the emperor, she is terrified that the bad blood between their families will lead to her being treated miserably in the Ye household. Torn between duty and concern for his daughter, Qian Aotian devises a reckless plan. He summons his firstborn daughter—her existence unknown to all but his own family—to be the stand-in for her younger sister.

Due to her unusual powers, Qian Yun Xi was exiled by her family when she was a child. Deprived of filial affection, she made a life of her own amid the wilderness on Mt. Ling Yun. However, everything begins to change when she marries Ye Youming in her sister's stead.

Harboring immense contempt for the family of Qian, Ye Youming refuses to acknowledge Qian Yun Xi as his wife and treats her coldly, going so far as to banish her from his palace grounds. But he can only resist her childlike charm and boldness for so long...

Expected nothing and enjoyed a lot. It is pretty mediocre in almost all aspects (animation, soundtrack, script, etc.), but if you just relax and let this anime entertain you - it will do its job prefectly.

The MC is fun, very active and assertive, befriends ghosts and horses left and right. The main dude is the right type, possessive control freak, exactly what one would want from "enemies to lovers" plot. The story is simple and lighthearted, don't expect much of it, just a nice background for the romance.

If you enjoy this type of trope, it's worth a shot. One important note: don't trust the opening, ... it's incredibly awkward and looks like a really bad fever dream.

Mixed Feelings

Honestly I didn't like the first few episodes. It felt like watching the same thing again and again, the FL getting in trouble and somehow getting over it. I wasn't really excited for the couple, if anything I was more interested in her relationship with her family. I felt the story didnt started actually moving forward until like half way through the series.
I was about to drop it but some of the plot points were interesting and even tho they weren't develope properly, I was able to power through them and finish it.

As a positive, the art style is cute and tells you ... a lot about each character.

I just wish they could have done better on the first eposides and move forward with the story.

Not Recommended

This anime has surprised me on many levels with the reviews it has received after watching it. It DOES not at all live up to those exceptions. I've tried again and again to push through the series hoping to be blown away, wanting to stop after episode 2.


Story: Starting off this series, it wasn't at all bad and it pleased me to see some old Imperial Chinese history in a fictional setting. I was really hopeful, but merely after episode 2 it quickly becomes generic. The story doesn't provide much detail, depth, or really any interesting development. I'm a big sucker for Romance and ... comedy, but no real emotion can be felt and most of the "haha" moments fall flat on their face. And the plot holes just tie everything nicely together. (3/10)

Art+Sound: Generic for an anime. Visually bland at some points but nothing too much to complain about. (6/10)

Characters: Uninteresting and generic. Yunxi was pretty cool to watch but really nothing extra ordinary. (5/10)

Enjoyment: Outside of episodes 1 & 2, didn't really enjoy this series. Had high hopes but it just didn't have a good story nor delivered any interesting romance or funny comedy. Of course starting off it was a bit off putting hearing Chinese dub after watching hours and hours of Japanese dubbed anime, but I came to enjoy it. (2/10)

Overall: Not an anime I recommend you watching if you're someone looking for an anime you'll remember and truly cherish or with a depthful storyline and characters. This doesn't mean at all that objectively this anime is bad, some people might like it, but don't go in with high hopes. (3/10)
