Within the Chinese imperial court, stern-faced Emperor Xiao Jinyun and spirited Empress Xu Yu are at constant odds with one another. But the universe has an interesting way to solve their issues: an accident causes the two to switch bodies, forcing them to put themselves in the other's shoes—literally. Now responsible for unfamiliar duties and court dynamics, the emperor and empress must navigate the maintenance of their identities, unruly concubines, and the nation itself. In doing so, Xiao Jinyun and Xu Yu's personal qualities and unconventional skills find new purpose, and a sense of understanding and compassion grows between the two. However, great threats loom within and outside the court. If the imperial astrologer cannot discover the key to switching them back in time, then internal strife and suspicion may lead to the duo's untimely demise. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

This is easily my top favourite Chinese anime/donghua ever! I wish for more recognition! My synopsis: A Chinese historical anime focusing on two people. One is the Empress and the other is the Emperor. Our Empress is a peculiar individual (hence why I absolutely love her!). Strong, passionate and kind of a dumb being. Our Emperor is quite cold yet intelligent and handsome who holds no other physical specialities unlike our Empress. She is the brawns whilst he is the brains. They switch souls/bodies and now are forced to live with each other's foreign lives. What I absolutely adore about this anime/donghua: First I wantto touch on the fact that I have read the manhua and goodness gracious it was amazing! Was so happy that this anime was announced and got released! My expectations was met both ways and it is truly enthralling! So now onto my explanation as to why I "adore" this series so far. The main concept of having both our Empress and Emperor switch souls is truly a fascinating subject. Ancient China was very hierarchical and even when you watch those dramas with the historical tag, you can clearly see how the hierarchy works. Our Emperor who has zero idea that his harem are having daily wars, witnesses and experiences the amount of suffering our Empress goes through. The lies and betrayal opens his eyes and slowly makes him appreciate his Empress a lot more, especially how she truly loves him. There is not much to say about our strong girl, other than the fact that she is only brawny and adds comedy to the series (particularly now that she is in a male's body!). So an Emperor who experiences the astonishing truth behind being a female in the harem really makes me go "heck yeah! SUFFER and then love our girl". Note that the manhua and anime in my opinion are quite focused on the plot itself with a good amount of drama - your typical historical genre. Yes, there is romance but it is not a lot. I would say it is mostly comedy and drama. Do cherish the small scenes of our cute Empress and Emperor exchanging small gestures of "romance." If you choose to read the manhua it is definitely worth it! The anime picks outs scenes that are most important so I can positively say you are not missing out too much if you decide to only watch the anime. Waiting for the second season and looking forward to how the rest of the story will play out! Much love to the creator of Liang Bu Yi! Truly a unique story that I will forever remember, re-watch/re-read and love!
If you're thinking of dropping it because of the animation, DON'T! I'm usually a stickler for animation quality and have been unusually unhappy with these low frames per second donghua adaptations that have been saturating the market BUT this one is actually surprisingly good. Unlike most short duration episode donghua in which NOTHING happens in the majority of episodes, this one has great pacing and plot advancement episode-to-episode which makes this 24-episode adaptation feel like it was over too quickly and having you desperate for more. The relationship between the two protagonists is similar to Meng Qi Shi Shen (Cinderella Chef) and Tong Ling Fei(Psychic Princess) where the male protagonist of the tsundere archetype but they open up to the energetic, charming, and free spirited female protagonist. Although the plot elements may be predictable, the ride is still entertaining and fun especially during the comedy scenes where the animators swap to a more chibi-like art styles to drive the point across. This adaptation has changed my mind on low frames per second adaptations. I'll probably stop brushing them off so easily and give more of them a chance.
No doubt in us is surprisingly heartwarmingly good!! First of all the artstyle and animation is so crisp and clear and secondly the voice actors were phenomenal. I was pleasantly surprised. As someone who isn’t very accustomed to donghua’s yet I felt very intrigued by it from the first episode. And it’s easy to watch as it’s just 10 mins per episode. If gender bender is your thing then definitely check it out and if it isn’t then too check it out. An emperor and empress swap their body due to some spell cast upon them and it results in a hilarious mess. That’s notit as apart from comedic relief, there’s a serious story in the backdrop and the amazing thing is that they pull it off in just 10 mins per episode. The empress is so much stronger than the emperor and it was an eye candy to see her adept in martial arts and such. The romance element was fantastic too, made we wish for more moments between them.. Do watch it if you’re looking for a light hearted and chill historical anime. I hope the second season will be as good as this was!
This is easily on my list of favorite animes to watch. After watching other romance animes there were only a few that really caught my eye in accordance to my all time forever favorites! This is one of those shows. As I first loaded it up, I was sooo disappointed with the animation, as it felt bad, but later I realized how cool it was and just loved the art & animation style as well, it gave it its own path. Not only did it have the romance we want to see, with a great conclusion, it also balanced itself out by guiding usthrough an adventure, some drama, friendships, supernatural events, and all the cool stuff. The story is extremely strong and rich. When it comes to character development this show exceeds expectations, as we get to meet, feel, and develop with most of the cast, including the side ones that just appear in the emperors court rulings. The romance started and developed fluidly. The show concluded at a wonderful pace, I really liked the fact that there was a visual conclusion and they gave us "that" ending! As I was watching the show, I was like "I better see it happen, I hope they include it!" and they did, which is nice and satisfying. Its also nice that they had 2 seasons, and even though the episodes are shorter than usual, a lot happens, and surprisingly it doesn't feel skimmed through. You get all the details, events, and notes needed in one episode. They don't feel short at all. Very engaging, stirs up all kinds of emotion and allows us to see justice happen. I'm new to Chinese anime, and honestly I love the way they know how to create good drama. However, I have realized that sometimes they drag it way too far, but here its balanced, the drama adds to the show rather than take away from it. This and Tong Ling Fei - 10/10
i love this show, its so funny. the animation grows on you after a little and is honestly kind of nice to look at. underrated as hell!! please watch it. live love laugh jinming. Story is cliche (ish?) but the characters are super well rounded and amazing that its like somehow 10x better. character development is super well paced and honestly the super silly artsyle fits the overall themes of the show. its a nice casual show just to watch if your feeling bored. episodes arent too long but they dont feel like they are rushing, info dumping ect. anyways i love this show!
I picked this up after watching Heavens Official Blessing and liked the gender swap concept. Story: 10 - The story is about an empress and emperor who have a cold relationship until they fall under a spell that causes them to swap bodies. This leads to them facing various challenges, which highlights the characters strengths and also leads to some hiularious misunderstandings. Through this expreience they both realise the burdens their ocunterpart carries which brings them closer. I loved the progression and pace of the story. It had a good amount of drama, anction, comedy, and romance. I think all the characters were well written,even some of the annoying courtesens were characters I enjoyed seeing. On its own, this season was good though without the second season it feels incomplete. Art: 9 -Honestly, I was scaptical about the 3d animation but it didn't take away from the show at all,. The art was beautiful and the fight scenes were exciting to watch. I also liked the chibi-like animation used in scome scenes for comedic purposes, it reminded me a lot of Pucca. Sound: 10- Great, not issues. Translation: 10- I watched this on netflix and the subtitles seemed consistent and were easy to read. In another chinese animation I watched the subtitles had a lot of errors and had bad placement. Overall: 10 (With second season also)
I usually prefer more dark and heavy hitting stories, but this manages to be oh so satisfying, with a fair amount of comic flourish. It's a romance in imperial China centered around political strategy, intrigue, military, and harem relations. The story is fraught with danger but the main couple has well-earned romance which just might make you squee. And you don't have to wait until the end of the show for it, though it just gets better and better as you progress. The animation is cel-shaded CGI, which is a little off-putting at first but you get used to it fast. The animation and frame rateis too fluid compared to hand drawn, but that's not really a drawback. The models look good and move well, with good facial expressions. Very often, the animation style will suddenly jump to super deformed 2D drawn look for some comedic moments for a few seconds. This complements the CGI well, since CGI models don't really allow for the most outrageous unrealistic expressions. The main female protagonist Xu Yu starts out as the annoying loud idiot, which is a character archetype I hate, but grows into someone valorous, kind, righteous, surprisingly intelligent, and thoroughly lovable. The main male protagonist Xiao Jinyun as emperor is initially a cold intellectual, tactical and status conscious but unwilling to admit faults or listen to those he assumes are dumber than him. He also grows a lot. The story is good. The happenings mostly don't feel like deus ex because we are presented with characters with motivations which drive certain things to happen. Anyways, stick with this and season 2 is even better (at 8/10).
I really enjoyed No Doubt In Us! From Xu Yu and Xiao Jinyun's reviving romance, to the court conspiracy slowly unfolding around them, to the fantastical magic element- almost every aspect of the plot lands well, with lively and entertaining characters to carry it. Xu Yu and Jinming are my favourites of the cast; the energy and positivity around both of them really lightens things up, and they're both very endearing to me. Everyone is very colourful and three-dimensional, and while it's slow to show you the depths behind each character, you come out with at least some positive feeling for even the antagonists (orat least most of them. Not naming any names 🤭) While the animation style is a bit strange to adjust to at first, it's used to its full potential! The comedic moments get funny little chibis, while most of the show uses a style more similar to early RWBY. It's obvious that it was made on a budget, but they do a great job with what they have regardless. The character designs are memorable, the backgrounds are stunning, and they don't shy away from making their characters expressive. Overall, I think it's really great! More people should give it a go. It's funny, fast-paced, and keeps you engaged. And, as a bonus, it sticks to the manhua plot really well- if you like the donghua, you'll like the manhua too!
This series surprised me in more ways than one. It's easy to assume the nature of this series based on the Comedy and Romance tags, but it really should have the Fantasy, Military, Action and Supernatural tags as well. All these aspects are quite well represented throughout the series, and it quickly became one of my favorite chinese anime to date, up there with the likes of King's Avatar. The synopsis gives a pretty accurate description of the premise, so I don't feel the need to elaborate much more and risk spoiling anything. Instead, I'll just address the 3 main points that I think might prematurelyturn some away. 1) Body Swap / Gender Bender This aspect of the series is extremely tastefully handled, with little to no cringe or weirdness whatsoever. The 2 main characters have complete opposite personalities and physical abilities, the guy is serious but has no combat ability while the girl is much more jovial but is an absolute boss on the battlefield. This lends itself very well to the concept of a body swap. The dynamic is so well portrayed that it becomes very endearing, and I found myself rooting for both their characters regardless of whose body they were in. The difference in gender roles is also explored quite extensively and is done so in interesting and meaningful ways. 2) Animation Quality This is not the typical bad quality animation that some chinese anime are known for. It is certainly different and may even feel somewhat choppy at first glance. But unlike most low quality, low fps anime I've watched, this one is very much done intentionally as a stylistic choice with no sacrifice to the actual fidelity of the animation. My eyes got used to it within minutes and I quickly started appreciating the beautiful art style and especially the cheeky style switching during comedic moments. 3) Short Episodes It does not feel short at all from a story density standpoint. You get all the plot you could ask for and more from each episode and there is plenty of great character development for both the main and supporting characters. With both seasons out, this makes for one heck of a bingeworthy series that leaves you feeling very satisfied when it concludes. Overall this is a heartwarming tale of how 2 characters come together and fall in love, with a healthy dose of comedy and great action/fight scenes. Definitely recommend checking it out!
