Li Rong & Pei Wen Xuan married at 18, for political gain with no affection between them. She used his family background to avoid disaster & he used her royal status to establish himself.
Overtime she fell into excess & he found love elsewhere. After 20 years of loveless marriage , they are manipulated into turning against each other , leading to their deaths.
However, they wake up back at 18, before their marriage, facing the hardest time in their lives. Pei seeks Li Rong again, planning to remarry, but with divorce in mind.
Rated at 8.2.
Zhao Jin Mai from “A Little Thing called First Love’2019, ‘Amidst a Snowstorm of Love’ 2024, ‘The Princess Royal’ 2024. Her first period drama that I am watching.
Zhang Ling He in ‘Love Between Fairy & Devil’ 2022, ‘The Princess Royal’ 2024. He looked familiar but I couldn’t place him. Now, in lead he has great footage.
Waking up just like in ‘Si Jin’ to correct the past mistakes, but her efforts to go for Su Rong Qing at 18 go waste. He is not confident & the moment is lost. Pei gets the upper hand again!
Entertaining.
