Shang Yi Ran and Xu Mu Bai have been married for five years, and for five years they've been embroiled in conflict. One is aloof and arrogant, the other resilient and stubborn, seemingly carrying a knife within him. They loathe each other; when they meet, it's a disaster. Both Shang Yi Ran and Xu Mu Bai are from wealthy families; their marriage was a political alliance that forced two people together who were already unwilling. Forced relationships are never sweet. But perhaps, over time, a forced relationship can become bearable.

Well, this drama makes my blood boils
I watched this last year and i know this is Bai Yan-Zhang Bei Xi version. Xie Yu Wang and Liu Lange delivers their role perfectly. The plot was not perfect from the start but the emotional depth in main character this drama is far more better than the first version. ML and FL aren't perfect and have flaws. I wont recommend this drama unless you're fans of the actors.Liu Lange is quite pretty good actress, but the dramas she chooses aren't very good. In this drama, all I can say is that the FL has good heart is a disease, but she's incurable, so she gets hurt in various ways. The drama starts with the ML's affair with his ex-girlfriend, and FL is beaten by her father. What I found different from the usual formula was that FL's arguments were all on point; every word she uttered was effective, not just mindless taunting. ML in this version really have no boundaries and i think FL was more wise in this version.
FL was injured, but ML didn't intervene. This was mainly because the two families had a business cooperative relationship, making it difficult to directly punish the sister-in-law. Furthermore, punishing her might implicate FL. Therefore, ML used a rather extreme method: he personally intervened, using photos as leverage against the sister-in-law. Personally, I think this was perfectly acceptable. As a result, the sister-in-law didn't cause any further trouble for the FL.
When FL gets pregnant right after their marriage, she tells ML they should live a good life together, but he tells her to abort the child. Later, ML explains that it's because they have no feelings for each other and he doesn't want to have the child, but this explanation feels weak.
I think there should have been more build-up about ML to his feelings for the FL. Some misunderstandings were indeed influenced by external factors, not by the ML's own inner turmoil, so they were somewhat understandable. The ending is the divorce followed by a proposal felt a bit rushed. At least there would have been a courtship process; that would have made the viewing experience much better. My ideal ending in this drama were the leads are not back together, it would be on my recommended drama.
