He kill & was ruthless , plot and scheme, the novel deal with slavery, lots of torture , fighting & discrimination among the upper class toward the less fortunate. The Prince wsst fun loving & cheeky but he became darker & vengeful later on . Yah Xun did use XE for his own personal gain but he fell in love with her thru the years , they love each other but his love for power was more important .
WYX started off like a villain but change into a better man for XE . She loved the Prince but I think she fall out of love LOL. She have a change of heart because during the time where power is survival and the winner become King and loser are war salve , for a man to give up those prize possession, title , family , a nation , to be with the woman he love is quite romantic & worth holding on too and WYX was all that . The Prince couldn't give up those thing and thats how the villain got the girl at the end , WYX didn't care about all those, he could not leave XE for a greater worth & would rather die fighting to protect her. I'm just summary up the story , the novel itself was lengthy, drag & boring at time, the only reason it kept my interest is because my Chinese friend kept talking about it lol.
I'm at eps 38, rat . I should had waited for another month because soon i would have to wait for the english sub for the current eps . Eps 21 up was intense , I want the misunderstanding resolve and they go back to master & the bed chamber maid LOL. It seen in the next coming eps or so the Prince is becoming evil . The romance is slooowww , it seen only WYX is in love w/ her while she blind to the obvious , its all cool , it seen like a lover 's quarrel when they meet , talk or fighting LOL . Can't wait til she find out the Prince is evil and she run back to WYX
