Reception

Controversy

Fei Wo Si Cun, the screenwriter of the drama and the author of the original novel, sued Wonderful Media for breach of a 5-year contract that ended in March 2016. She claims that the producers continued to work on the project without payment. Wonderful Media responded that a substantial investment was already made in December and for the author to suddenly demand an extravagant sum was unfair and unwarranted.
