Qi Ling Jiao Jiao Hen Re Huo (2025)

Meticulous Plan for Taming the Husband.

I watch this and didn't realized it was Li Sheng Jie since he didn't use his bang (His look was better than his usual look). Never see another Zhao An Di, so this is my first review about her. Both of leads carries their character well especially Zhao An Di.

The plot is about FL transmigrates into a book and, to avoid becoming cannon fodder, starts by "taming" ML to win him over, eventually achieving her ideal married life. In the drama, FL gives the ML bait (by sleeping with him), and the negative impact of divorce on the military creates the conditions for her to control him. FL acts in her own best interests, using the ML's "interests" as bait, and adding some reasoning to achieve her goal of taming him. FL's methods only work because of the ML's character was straight man. If it were a more cunning and calculating ML, these methods probably wouldn't have been effective. Gradually, ML changes from loving the FL for her appearance to truly loving her of everything.

The plot is flawless, the sweetness and satisfaction are perfectly balanced, and the sense of the era and the satisfying action are both top-notch. The casting is perfect, the acting is natural and not exaggerated, and both the main and supporting characters are memorable.

Recommended to Watch.

This was a truly comforting drama that I really enjoyed. It wasn’t bittersweet or emotionally intense, and it had a warm tone.

The FL completely carried the story for me. She was intelligent, kind, and strong, using her head to solve problems while actively shaping the life she wanted. I especially appreciated how calmly and strategically she handled conflict, changing situations little by little rather than reacting emotionally. It felt realistic and very well written.

The 1980s China setting added a lot of depth. I loved the small, realistic details, like how her sewing skills (which she could have used to make money in another era) actually caused her trouble here. As frustrating as that was to watch, it made the story feel true to its time, especially as she navigated life as a soldier’s wife.

Visually, the drama was lovely. The FL’s fashion, hair, and overall styling were consistently on point, even with the limitations of a short drama budget.

I had to grow into liking the ML. He wasn’t my favorite, but I appreciated the realistic portrayal of masculinity for that time period and the fact that his growth was gradual rather than sudden. I’m also not usually a fan of rebirth stories involving pre-destined loves, but this drama handled it thoughtfully enough that it didn’t take away from my enjoyment.

Overall, this was a solid, comforting watch with a strong FL and definitely worth it if you enjoy rebirth dramas with subtle growth and realism.
