As an adult, Shang Ci fell in love with Ming Xi, breaking their sibling relationship.

Off-the-charts chemistry + good writing & acting elevated this jiejie romance
I watched this drama a few days ago and am delighted that MDL page was created just a few hours ago. I like Qi Yu Jia's acting in 2 of her dramas so went through her list of works and found this drama. I had never seen the work of Li Si Jun but no expectations. I enjoyed this drama A LOT!What I liked:
1. Romance - A refreshing jiejie romance with time jump. In the first time period, FL was reluctant to consider romantic relationship with ML (he was too young) but changed her mind only that their romantic relationship was shortlived as something forced them apart. Three years later, the love was still there & with some fuel, a fire erupted. Their kisses were hot and there were some sweet moments between them.
2. FL characterisation - She was a girlboss heiress with shrewd mindset. Smart, kind & protective.
3. ML characterisation - At the start, he was eager to please, flirty but toughen up after the separation. He still harboured a crush on FL but was careful not to show strong emotions in public until the auction took place.
4. Styling - Great choice of outfits for FL and ML with contrasting styling for ML before and after separation. I also liked that female acupuncturist wore traditional outfit from a certain tribe in China.
5. Supporting characters - I liked ML's friend who kept updating FL about his whereabouts. I also liked FL's bestie.
6. Confrontations - I loved the confrontation scenes involving ML's grandfather. The second one was thrilling because of clapback.
7. Acting - Good performances from Qi Yu Jia & Li Si Jun and wow, such an electric chemistry between them. I was excited the moment both of them appeared on screen.
What I disliked:
1. Antagonists - Surpisingly the antagonists in this drama are the elders. FL's grandmother was horrible for scheming to separate ML from FL. ML's grandfather was vicious in his scheming to ensure an heir to his empire. The threats were just unbelievable. Lou Yue was evil for tricking ML & attempting to molest him. Gu Shuo was a bully.
