Well-known gallery curator Lu Shu Yan, in order to pay for her mother’s treatment, enters a relationship with Jiang Ming Cheng, the president of the Jiang Group. For ten years, she remains trapped in a hollow marriage, her inspiration exhausted and her sense of self lost. The talented boy whom Lu Shu Yan once helped heal has, over the past decade, grown into a major figure in the art world. Concealing his identity, he approaches Lu Shu Yan, reigniting the warmth in her heart and quietly protecting her as she struggles to break free from the cage of pretense. The two begin a hidden relationship marked by deep but restrained affection. (Source: Chinese = Youku || Translation = kisskh) Edit Translation

Fiery chemistry in this jiejie romance drama set in the art world
I was browsing drama catalogue and this drama's pister caught my attention. It had been awhile since I last watched Zhao Xi Xi's work. Glad I watched this drama because it was good.What I liked:
1. Romance - Damn spicy intimate scenes. I felt like they were going to combust everytime they made out. This is a jiejie romance with ML devoting himself to FL's cause.
2. FL characterisation - She was desperate, she put her mother’s need first. I liked the fact that she's knowledgeable in art.
3. ML characterisation - Hidden identity out to investigate SML. ML was devoted, talented & sneaky.
4. Acting - Great performances by Zhao Xi Xi and Su You Cai. Damn, the chemistry was fiery.
5. Visuals - Stunning leads + beautiful paintings.
6. Editing - Beautifully shot scenes from the paintings to the intimate scenes.
What I disliked:
1. Antagonist - SML was a jerk for taking advantagr of vulnerable woman. I also disliked SML's sister for her rude beahviour.
Favourite scene
When FL kissed ML at his house
Emotional depth between the leads is the highlight in this drama.
I watched this last year and decided to put in on shelf since there is no sub until i rewatch this with better subtitle.Zhao Xi Xi and Su You Cai have sparks in their interaction and the chemistry was on in this drama. It was the highlight in this drama. Su You Cai perfectly captures the "deeply affectionate and forbearing" character, with expressive eyes while Zhao Xi Xi 's initial vulnerability and later explosive power are well-done and delicate.
The most immediate feeling while watching the series is: the emotional intensity is high, and FL's transformation from forbearance to awakening feels very realistic. Watching her pick up her paintbrush again with the male lead's encouragement and dare to fight against injustice evokes a sense of "healing" resonance. However, the plot framework is indeed clichéd. "Marriage to save one's mother," "ten years of waiting," and "oppression by a wealthy family" are common tropes in short dramas. Moreover, to extend the number of episodes, a lot of melodramatic plots involving supporting characters were added. and it becomes a bit aesthetically tiring, and some conflicts even feel unnecessary.
Worth to watch, if you want to see emotional depth in the drama with cliché plot.
