Well, honestly, it depends on why and how they are manipulative or conniving, otherwise, I won't support that type of "using" people and selfish female lead.
It would be hard to ship her with a male lead that she frequently lies to, and deceives him (and others about him) for her own benefit and amusement.
I am all for a smart and strategizing female lead though, who can be playful.😊👍
Hmm. I find her conniving and manipulative. Haha.😅 She seems to put her desires above the guy she "likes" or is interested in. At least that is what I got from her actions.😉
Yes! It is nice to see him here. So far, he is one of the main people standing out in this drama. He is number 2(ish) in 4 main characters for me, at present.

We both seem to be rather interested in this show though!😊

Aw. Young(er) Zhang Ziyi would have been great for this drama, and so beautiful too!
