Nice Dynamic between the Lead
I watch this since i know Zhang Yi Yang dramas and quite enjoy his acting and this is my first time to see Bai Xue Ru. The drama is decent for both lead characterization (FL is sassy girl while ML is tough but vulnerable). The chemistry between Bai Xue Ru and Zhai Yi Yang are harmonious to watch they can switch how the dynamic duo mode and romantic mode without being out of place. The comedy was not into slapstick , which is good point for this romcon drama.Recommended to watch.

Sultry, cool & dark FL in an arranged marriage with arrogant "puppy" ML. Great acting & chemistry!
I got to know about this drama on subreddit CShortDramas. I am familar with Zhang Yi Yang's work but had never seen any of Bai Xue Ru's dramas. One day when I had more time to finish a vertical drama on one sitting, I watched this drama. I enjoyed it very much!What I liked:
1. FL characterisation - I loved her! She was sultry, cool & confident but at the same time got a dark soul & could be dangerous. Mess with her & her loved ones and she would make the perpetrator's life miserable.
2. ML characterisation - He was arrogant at the start but slowly turned out to be a goofy character. I liked that we got to see his vulnerability.
3. Romance - Damn, one of the best push-and-pull dynamics in vertical dramas. There was a sexy attraction between them from their first encounter. Their kisses were hot & passionate.
4. Acting - Wonderful performances by Bai Xue Ru and Zhang Yi Yang, individually and as on-screen couple. Their chemistry translated very well.
5. Supporting characters - Xu Zi Jie, ML's grandpa and his butler were entertaining.
6. Styling - Loved FL's outfits that the drama inspired a few ideas for my reddit posts. I liked that she even got to wear sportswear.
What I disliked:
1. Antagonists - Shen family was horrible and toxic.
2. Duration - At 3.5 hours, the drama is long. I felt like Shen family could be given less screentime.
Favourite scene
When FL & ML visited ML's father, stepmother and stepbrother after marriage.
