Gorgeous, sexy couple with spicy & mostly sweet romance
According to MDL user Daishelle, there are 3 versions using this plot. The first version is titled "The Tenderness of Wild Bones" starring Charon and Meng Lu. The second version is titled "Zero Ambiguity" starring Li Shengjie and Zhao Zaoer. The third version is titled "Gentle Wild Bones" starring Wang Chenpeng and Zhai Xinran. I watched this Charon-Meng Lu version after completing the other two versions. Gosh, this version was hardest to find but somehow I found Dailymotion link on reddit early this morning and watched it immediately. I am glad I did so.What I liked:
1. Visuals - Charon & Meng Lu made a gorgeous & sexy, mature couple. They exude a different vibe on screen, in comparison to the main couples from other 2 versions.
2. Romance - Some intimate scenes were hot though I wish the kissing scenes were longer. I can see ML's devotion for FL as he put in a lot of work to care & love her.
3. Supporting characters - I like FL's close colleague. I don't know her name but it's nice to see the actress playing a nice girl character because she was antagonist (stepsis) in other drama. Unlike the other two versions, this version featured ML's parents. It's nice seeing different dynamics between FL and her in laws versus FL and her own parents.
4. Music - I recognise some songs featured in this drama e.g. 'Crush' by Yuna (yay, she from my country Malaysia) & a song by Lauv (I think 'Paris in the Rain').
5. Ending - This version has different ending compared to the other two versions. Sweet to see the couple after a time jump.
What I disliked:
1. FL characterisation - She is accomplished in her career and yes she is gorgeous but I find her shallow or too conscious about her physical appearance. Her remark after discovering her pregnancy was off-putting. I also don't see much of FL showing her love for ML (in other words, giving to the relationship) but perhaps her love language is physical touch.
2. Set - FL & ML lives in a mansion. It's kinda weird that ML's love rival waited in front of the house and his mind didn't register that FL & ML lived together.
Favourite scene
Afternoon delight in the office

The chemistry between Meng Lu and Charon are mystery for me.
I watched this drama after watching Zhai Xinran-Wang Chanpeng and Zao Zao Er-Li Sheng Jie and it was better assignment so can compare them more fairly.Plot is about FL and ML are bickering buddies since high school. ML has always secretly loved the FL and tutored her. The FL successfully entered the university he attended, and the two supported each other throughout. After graduation, FL's family pressured them to get married, so they had a whirlwind wedding.
Charon's stubbornness was just too captivating and i quite like Meng Lu even some of people think she was too mature for him. The chemistry is burning the kitchen. The kissing scenes are incredibly sensual and sweet. The scene where the ML proposes to the FL moves me.
There are no melodramatic or illegal plots. FL only shows her girlish whims and capriciousness in front of the ML, who truly takes good care of her. ML is incredibly doting and charming, exuding a strong sense of husbandly love. His little expressions, gestures, and flirtatious remarks are all charming. He knows boundaries and is even good at judging tea
My cons is they should make the place is flat not villa since it was slightly unlogic since SML comes to the villa without the security. What is the point?
Despite all the flaws, it was decent to watch.
