Song Qing Yun always thought that her marriage with Liang You Jin, the prince of Hong Kong, was just a business marriage. She helped him get the inheritance, and she relied on him to get control of the Song Group. Unexpectedly, they had a relationship by accident. She didn't know that her husband Liang You Jin had been secretly in love with her for seven years and had planned to marry her for a long time.

The type of romance dramas I love - love, lust & frequent communication
I was drawn to this drama because of the title 'Seductive Kiss of The Rose'. A quick glance at the comments confirmed my gut feeling - this drama was worth watching. I enjoyed it very much that I occasionally watch it on repeat.What I liked:
1. Romance - I was delighted to see 2 mature adults experiencing romance even though their marriage was arranged. It was a great mix of love, lust & frequent communication. Many steamy kisses & innuendo. ML's use of term of endearment was very sweet - I found Zhang Yi Hong's nasally voice soothing.
2. FL characterisation - She was a smart, capable CEO managing family business. She was also a kind & loving person as seen through her relationship with ML & her family. This is my first time watching Zhou Fei. I really liked her acting.
3. ML characterisation - He had this mysterious and dangerous aura surrounding him. I liked that he was loving & protective of his wife. Zhang Yi Hong was excellent in his role.
4. Sibling dynamics - I enjoyed watching the interactions between FL and her brothers. Her brothers trusted her.
5. Styling - I liked FL's styling. She had a dark but kind vibe that reminds me of Morticia Addams.
What I disliked:
1. Antagonist - Wow, antagonist in this drama was something else. He must have felt emasculated by FL's capability as CEO.
2. Death - Why must that person die? I was very sad.

I loved how the ML actually communicated with the FL instead of making decisions for her or hiding things in the name of “protection.” He told her she could leave because his family is untrustworthy, and she chose to stay—finally, a drama where the FL has agency!I also loved how healthy and consensual their intimacy is. Unlike typical contract marriage dramas where the FL acts scared or confused, here she expressed her desires openly, and even used alternatives when needed (yes, a toy 😂). Their chemistry is realistic and mature, and it’s rare to see a married couple in a C-drama rolling with intimacy naturally.
Communication between the leads was excellent. When rumors surfaced, the ML directly expressed his feelings and jealousy without assumptions or anger. He shared dislikes and boundaries clearly, and the FL acknowledged them respectfully. It’s so refreshing compared to other dramas where misunderstandings and yelling dominate.
No green teas, no unnecessary drama, and the younger brother’s protectiveness adds a nice touch. Honestly, this drama delivers everything.
