Reception
The Paper wrote that although the television series completed in 2021 and was only released in 2024 with almost no fanfare, it still received significant attention from the public, and managed to be listed on the top charts in China. While Hans Zhang's character styling was criticised, the plot progression kept the audience hooked on the series.[8] In Beijing Youth Daily's review, it highlighted the strong female characters in Han Zhiqing and Nangong Qianqian were major highlights of the series.[9]
