Really liked this! Usually it's only one person that gets transmigrated, but here there are more people, which makes it more interesting. I fint it unique, and different than the typical transmigration stories I've seen/read, which had me hooked. Literally finished it in one night!! Also, the relationships between the mains are very cute <3

Also, the art may not be for everyone, but I would definitely still give it a try!

The story is a bit of action, comedy, drama and romance :) The characters are all very different, unique. The male lead is so kind to the female lead, and the female lead ... is very funny. The story has so many twists, which is super interesting and makes you want to watch more and more. I need season 2!

Brilliant. The Chinese anime industry has been knocking it out of the park lately.

It's an anime about modern day people who've been isekai'd into a story set in the ancient China. One is now an Emperor of Xia, and the other is his concubine. Now these two, and a couple of others, have to navigate in a hostile world of political intrigue, assassins behind every corner and figuring out what the other person thinks of them. The romance is beautiful. It's a mix of childish innocence and Victorian novel style. The looks they give each other are to die for. The story itself is ... very expansive. Something's always happening on the screen and behind the scenes. The pacing of it all is superb.

Music is what turns this from an 8, to a 10. Whoever was in charge of it is a master of invoking emotions out of the audience. It doesn't matter if it's ancient Chinese string pieces, or a simple piano piece or even rock. It just fits so well. Together with the sublime voice acting. Again, superb.

Art is probably the weakest part but it's still a lot better than most. It uses 3D assets, but they look great. The facial animations alone surprised me so much. Then you have the fight scenes and oh boy. I usually hate action scenes involving 3D art in animes, as they are almost always very stiff, but here it's so fluid and the fights are really fun to watch. The only bad thing I can think of is that they reuse a few of the character assets for minor roles. Every freaking maid has the same 3D model. It confused me so much, as they take part in some of the ploys.

It's all around almost perfect. I stretched watching this out for so long because I didn't want it to end how much it captured me. I love the characters. I love the way the makers of this must have had so much fun with it. I love that it ended on a cliff hanger and I can look forward to more. I'll remember this one for years to come. 10/10

Preliminary (7/24 eps)

It’s so unique, usually only one person is isekaied but here it’s two, and in other shows, if there is another person isekaied, they’re often enemies, but here, they’re allies, the romance is so cute. The emperor is such a green flag, and the twists are so nice. It’s so good that when it’s over I think it’s only been 10 mins even though it’s already 24mins 😭. Y’all should give it a chance. It’s really funny and watching my ship sail is so fun.

The artstyle might take some getting used to but It’s not a dealbreaker for me. I quite like the art.
