The proud and unruly heiress Yin En unexpectedly binds to a guardian system and learns that she is destined to die at the hands of the illegitimate son Gu Ye, forcing her to save him. What she doesn’t expect is that the obedient façade Gu Ye shows her is fake; he is actually a dark, dangerous villain. At first, Yin En only wants to tame Gu Ye to complete her mission, but unexpectedly, she gains the exclusive affection she has always longed for.

How to Train a Puppy With an Emphasis on the S/M in BDSM
Enjoyable pretty much exclusively because of the lead's role reversal master/pet dynamic. Pretty much everything else about this drama was bad to barely watchable, but it didn't bait-and-switch its viewers, so for that it gets brownie points.The Good:
- Dynamic - The leads have a role-reversed master/pet relationship from the very beginning. FL quite literally tames and trains ML into becoming her puppy, and he not-so-gradually realizes that he actually loves it. I thought their relationship was handled quite nicely and progressed surprisingly well for a vertical.
- No bait-and-switch - In the sea of dramas that start out role reversal but then pull the rug and turn the leads into a traditional couple, this one DIDN'T do that!! The FL is ruthless in the beginning and remains that way until the very end (YAAAYY). She doesn't go soft or submissive at any point (even though she does warm up to ML). Same with ML, he's submissive in the beginning, and he doesn't do a 180 later on. If you're here for genuine femdom x malesub, this is the one!
- Red flag FL - That's the whole thing. She's epic!
- FL's outfits - Dang, she really had some niice outfits. Very atypical and flattering.
The Okay:
- Leads acting - FL was pretty good. She sold me on the ruthless, spoiled heiress. ML was alright. He did the submissive pup role nicely, but his crazy role was more cute (and cringe) than intimidating.
- Plot prospect - It had potential to be melodramatic and cringe but in an entertaining way. It didn't really deliver, though.
- Humor - It's not really a comedy, but there were some comedic moments, and they actually got me giggling, so I'll give them that.
- Intimacy - I'm putting this in the 'okay' section because the actual romance develops differently than one might expect. The leads have a very master/pet bdsm kinda relationship that seems to exist outside of their romance and only develops into it later. Because of this, though there is intimacy in the form of closeness and dominance, there isn't much kissing, and I thought that was a bit of a shame, even if interesting (reminded me of Love and Leashes).
The Bad:
- Supporting actors - This was some next-level bad, like oh my god. Every. Single. Supporting role couldn't act to save their life!! Not even a little bit!!
- Plot - It was just not good. Important things happen off-screen, random things happen for seemingly no reason, it's just a melodramatic mess. You need to ignore it and only focus on the leads dynamic.
- Other quality - You know the drill. This isn't one of those "surprisingly good" verticals, it's the low-budget cringe you expect. I keep remembering and laughing at the wounds that are just a smear of red liquid T_T save me from the cringe
Conclusion: Watch it for the femdom. Ignore for the rest.

Not your common romance
Watch with warning, this is not a sweet love drama; choking, drug, family violence, very mild SM.I kinda like this combo, ma shuoqi and shitong.
This drama also make me wish to have more drama with them two. it's cute! Made for each other <3
Not your average boy chase girl drama- its all about mind games. & taming your pet-partner.
2 red flags = perfect partners
Both were treated badly by their own dads, both have trauma that make them into the person they are.
I like sweet drama, but i also like this kind of drama too, not the average leads kind, the baddies falling in love. But i can't say they are the REAL baddies, if watched thoroughly, mostly is for self-protection.
They were both unloved and in the end find comfort with each other gradually.
spoiler alert:
I like:
- Need to say again: both leads !! Shitong & Ma Shuoqi~ (prays they have more works in future plz)
- Not the normal-lame kind of leads that be like, aww kindness will solve everything, vengeance is made for vengeance. =)
- wow the dad was nice to cancel the engagement when the fiance got into the news with someone. most drama for the power they will continue with it, political marriage. ya know.
- How the guy asks for reward from fl when he did was up to her satisfaction. (aw cute)
- how the ML act pitiful and taunted the antagonist (his bro) at the Art/painting class. The fl then proceeds to throwing a glass bottle, that was a handsome move wooo FL!
- The part where ml rebelled and goes against the fl's will for him to stay put, it was a good turn point to see the craziness then how he got tamed back when the FL reveals she was gonna make him vanish herself, and even threw ML a thrashed cake.
I like this part cause it made me feel the drama-flow was natural. (things dont always goes as planned)
- && the cutest! he tried to grab his dog-choker-necklace back and was scolded for it xD he still pockets them tho is so cute!
- Their ending of being engaged ~ me loves happy ending ;D
what i disliked:
- the ending struggle: they didn't explain how he injected himself with the new drug and was able to overcome with it... are we all suppose to just presume-pretend its 'love'? cause they didn't explain? NO !! =3= I WANT ANSWERS like took a prevention med of whatever. or his drug immunity built up from all the old stuff??
- altho the system did well in showing and guiding the FL about the ML real side/feelings, felt like the show can live without the system too. but oh well, its barely there anyway..
- The drama was kinda short, wish they show more of the background support character's action, like example how the bribed female classmate managed to trick ML's brother out to get in bed with her, Or more of the brainy games they played with each other (the leads) it was real short. i wanted more scenes!
