4 Daughters, 5 marriages and 6 celebrations - One Unforgettable Tale of Love and Chaos
When Madam Li arrives in the capital with her four unmarried daughters in tow. Her mission is clear: find each a worthy husband. But what follows is anything but predictable. From love at first sight to marriages born out of misunderstanding, mistaken identity, and sheer stubbornness, the story unfolds into five — yes, five — surprising unions. How does that math work out with only four daughters? I will let you figure that out yourself… though the answer may be more obvious than you think.
The romantic rollercoaster begins with the third daughter, Kang Ning, whose love story is by far the most tangled. Played with charm by Wang Xing Xue, her suitor Chai An falls for her instantly — but their path to love is riddled with sabotage. A bitter feud between their mothers, conniving friends in the name of “loyalty,” and a cascade of misunderstandings nearly wreck everything. Heartbroken, Kang Ning resolves to move on… or so she thinks.
Next is the eldest daughter — a widow — whose new marriage is anything but romantic. On her wedding night, the groom retreats to a separate bed, seemingly cold and uninterested. But as the story unfolds, we learn that he harbours a complicated secret: his true identity, hidden even from himself, and a blind adoptive mother who had her own reasons for hiding his real identity. When he finds out, he set out to seek justice in an unconventional move, nearly causing him his life.
The third match (yes, we are still counting) involves the spirited fourth daughter, who falls for a stern magistrate. But unfortunately, love is very much one-sided. On their wedding night, she finds herself unceremoniously shown the door. What follows is a marriage filled with tension, disappointment, and unexpected turns.
Then comes the fiery fifth daughter, who gets the shock of her life when her clever suitor swaps her into a different household entirely. Now stuck with a family she never intended to marry into — complete with complex dynamics and in-laws from a storyteller’s nightmare — she refuses to go quietly. She gives her new husband a taste of her fury, and perhaps, in the process, teaches the household a thing or two about love and resilience.
And what of the fifth marriage? Ah, now that is the twist. You will have to watch for yourself to discover who ties the knot and how. Trust me, it is worth the wait.
What makes this drama such a delight is its colourful portrayal of love in all its messy, hilarious, frustrating forms. Each suitor brings a different flavour — some sweet, some sour, some downright spicy — and the daughters respond with equal parts - wit, willpower, and womanly charm.
Funny, fast-paced, and full of heart, this series is a celebration of love's unpredictability and the chaos of family matchmaking.
And to top it off, the series features a gorgeous soundtrack, with both the opening and closing theme songs leaving a lasting impression. The closing theme, in particular, is hauntingly beautiful—its nostalgic Chinese folk melody lingers long after the final scene, evoking a deep sense of longing and timeless charm.
Although some of the sub-plots were somewhat cliche - the drama is hilarious, highly entertaining and definitely worth the watch.
