A romance to fall in love with and Lu Yi!

The cast in this show is superb! I am a Ren Jialun fan. He has super good expressions and he nails his scenes every time and is good at romantic scenes as well, his eyes, oh my. It is the first time that I am seeing the other actors in this show. Tan Songyun played her character so naturally and she grows on you as you are watching her performance. Dong Han, the villain you love to hate because he is good at being a a villain, he evil personified.

The child actor that plays young Lu Ling Yi is absolutely adorable.

The clothing was beautiful, especially Lu Yi's. Very elegant!

Every woman wants a Lu Yi!!!!! Lu Yi is played by Ren Jialun. Lu Yi is an introvert, a hardcore Imperial Guard with an attitude, no nonsense kinda guy. However, he is also righteous, caring, thoughtful, and passionate. He only allows people to see the introvert hardcore no nonsense Imperial Guard with an attitude.

Tan Songyun plays Xia, a playful carefree Bailiff at the Imperial Police Station, who does things her way with a fire cracker temper. She works with her Teacher and brother. She is spoiled by her mother, teacher, brother, and Xie Xiao. She is loved by all including Lu Yi and he too eventually spoils her and risk all for her.

In the beginning episodes, Lu Yi and Xia has a hate on the way to love relation. Lu Yi does not fail to show Xia his Macho Imperial Guard attitude with style. And Xia gives it right back to him. Lu Yi does realize that Xia is quite smart, but does not let her know any of this in the beginning. We see how the two secretly start to admire each other. Xia of course, displays it a bit more openly unlike Lu Yi, who is a more reserved about his growing feelings for Xia. With competition on the heat of who will solve it first, Lu Yi or Xia, she nickname him Lu Demon. As they spend more time together on numerous investigations. Their feelings continue to grow for each other. Xia risks her life to save Lu Yi and he gives her what is most precious to her. Gradually Lu Yi can no longer contain his feelings for Xia especially with child like Xie Xiao and Yan Shi Fan in the mix. Lu Yi's jealous is oh my, oh my worthy. Ren Julian's facial expression kills it every time and also in their intiamate scenes. They both have risked their lives numerous times for each other and have fell hard for each other. You can clearly see that Xia is Lu Yi's world, happiness, his all and everything.

The disapointment comes around the ending of episode 48 where when Lu Yi finds our Xia true family identity and decides to treat Xia badly to protect her. Yan Shi Fan played fy Don Han is beyond cruel and plays the driver of the wedge between Lu Yi and Xia. He discloses the Xia that it was Lu Yi's father, who is actually responsible for her family's massacre. Hence, Yan Shi Fan uses Xia against Lu Yi by threatening her life. And of course, Lu Yi to the rescue. You just cannot help but to fall in love with Lu Yi over and over here and throughout the episode. From the ending of episode 48 to the mid way of episode is just criminal because of the separation of Lu Yi and Xia, Totally uncalled for. Because even Yan Shi Fan knew how much Lu Yi loved Xia and told her so, but Xia did not know how much Lu Yi loved her. Because she never thought about why Lu Yi truly changed his behavior; she just assumed it was fake. She did not investigate to see if his change in behavior went beyond her identity which it did, it was about protecting her. I mean this was truly disappointing because she is a smart bailiff and good at solving these types of scenario and she was not able to decode this until mid-way of the last episode, 55.

Throughout the series see some loyal friends, Cen Fu, Immortal Lan, Xie Xiao, Yang Yue, and Shangguan. We get to see a mature Xie Xiao at the end of the series.

Xia's Aunt Lin acted too hastily when she found out that Lu Ting, Lu Yi's father was the underlying cause for her family's death. I mean, Lu Yi has risked it all for Xia on numerous occasions even after he knew her real identity. Xia's Aunt should have reasoned, especially since Lu Yi is the reason for Xia to be alive. In this scene, I would have like the see a well put together Lu Yi come undone for Xia, a broken Lu Yi. Because this is really what he became after knowing Xia's true identity and trying to protect her and having to carry a heavy burden. And the entire truth should have come to light here, but it did not.

When Xia meets Lu Yi in jail and tells him that she did not hate him, it is just that she could not get out of it, was just lame , lame and more lame. The conversation that was had between Lu Yi and Xia in this scene, should have been the conversation that they had on the night that Lu Yi was in her room when he took his father's statement to go report it to the majesty. Xia should have know from his words because Lu Yi does not speak lightly.

While there was a happy ending, I wished that they would have added a few more episodes to show Lu Yi and Xia's wedding and them with their friends and family. But Lu Yi should have never went to jail. But he looked as handsome semi rugged and he does well neatly dressed. Ren Jialun just makes you want to engulf Lu Yi.

Things I did not like:

1. The uncalled lengthy separation of Lu Yi and Xia.

2. I completely disliked that Xia did not go to Lu Yi directly when his father passed away. His father is the reason why Lu Yi was able to find her when Yan Shi Fan captured and tortured her. Lu Yi's Father, Lu Ting gave Xia's a letter to exonerate her family, but she would have to wait until a new emperor takes over. So, I would have definitely liked to see her comforting Lu Yi in this scene.

3. I absolutely did not like that Xia did not figure out sooner that Lu Yi was protecting her all this time and that he would literally sacrifice himself for her, which he did.

4. Lu Yi going to jail was just unnecessary.

Call me by my name please o please:

1. I really wanted Xia to call Lu Yi his name when he rescued her from the clutches of Yan Shi Fan on the supposed wedding night.

2. Xia should have call Lu Yi by his name when his father died

3. Xia should have call Lu Yi by his name at the end of the series when they finally reunite.

I have rewatched this series :), could not help it.

I hope that there is a Season 2 because I want to see Lu Yi and Xia's wedding. And Lu Yi and Xia can only love each other and no one else. The same cast as Season 1 needs to be in Season 2.

I have re-watched this show a few times and still would have like the creatives to keep Xia's intelligence all the way to the end.
