I liked that this one did not have backstabbing and betrayal by family members. I felt there might be the typical cousin lover fight but there wasn't and the Cheng Family were very good to each other and entertaining to watch. I was damn impressed with Old lady Cheng, she cracked me up each time :) and there was a lot of cunning schemes and revenge done by the FL which gave me story of minglan vibe and the ML quest to uncover the truth of his _____ death was a long journey of 15 yrs it reminded me of yanxi palace in which FL goes from simple servant in the palace to imperial consort with tons of scheming to finally avenge her sisters rape and murder. Overall it's a good watch the only thing I felt it missed was not seeing them having a family of their own. A scene of them living Shang's dream of simple village kinda life or maybe a scene of Qiqi and Song's kids playing around with their Uncle Zisheng (ML). Ah it would have been a perfect ending. We also missed out on their wedding and the rest of the siblings. Those scenes would have made this the best of the best drama IMO.

Does anyone know where is the 1st prince? They only mention him and his wife, but the first prince not appear?
He was stationed in MO and rushed back upon hearing his daughter would be married off to MO state as per alliance agreement, breaking the law. We see him and ML working together to nullify the marriage agreement by benefitting the MO state in a different way.
I am quite impressed with the story as there were a couple of things I didn't expect which happened and vice versa.
The story is not about revenge and does not have story of minglan kinda angst. We have the ML and FL bonding after marriage slowly, the ML was respectful and didn't consumate the marriage at any point in time (after 2+yr). He had to marry the princess of JIN state by imperial pressure. I was really happy to see a character like the princess who was selfless she genuinely cared about the FL and helped her become mature and educated her in running household and business.
The supporting characters like hao jie (FL bf) was really good. I was expecting the betrayal arc to be present but surprisingly it was better instead of backstabbing and jealousy they discussed the issues with each other and provided the necessary support.
As every drama requires a villain in this one it was the Crown prince, who was truly despicable and his tail the fourth prince who did some bad shit but mended and came around in the end. So we can say the bad were punished unlike in other dramas they are just forgiven as if nothing happened.
What more can I say? I feel I have said enough to convince you all to give this one a shot.
I really enjoyed every minute of it. No regrets! cute and fluffy without any angst. The ML was really thoughtful as he made the FL grow in to an independent and successful women by showering her with wisdom and love.
wow just great, could not stop watching. How great it feels watching a show without stupidity, bad cliché's and crazy love triangle. this was a breath of cool breeze right before winter, it was clean, sweet, cute and beautiful. Can not stress further. MUST WATCH!!
I've watched the K-drama twice, so I remember the details clearly. Here's my analysis. I enjoyed this adaptation, despite some minor changes. Firstly, the youngest son in the K-version was born to the same parents as the older siblings. In the C-version, the father remarries (his new wife leaves him and their baby early on), resulting in the youngest son having different mothers than his siblings. His friend/boss in the C-version is revealed to be his younger half-brother. The cousin in the K-version is married with a child studying in the Philippines (I think), but in the C-version, she's divorced because her husband had debts and ran away - we never see him. In the K-version, the sister gives birth to a child (after the father's death) while the doctor sibling is expecting. In the C-version, the doctor already has a child, and his father names him and is present for a short time after meeting his grandson - there's no hint about anyone else being pregnant.
