    This one is a comedy. Two talented young men from the Jin Dynasty, one in literature and another in martial arts, fell in love with each other since childhood. One is a scheming prime minister, and the other is an irritable prince. It's a bit strange to introduce them like this. But back to the topic, the male and female protagonists are clean, there is no blood, no misunderstanding, and the whole process is fun. The beginning is that the male and female protagonist's son travels back to a period when his parents have not met. It is a very novel beginning, and it is finished. It's not a bad idea to join the trap.
