A story of revenge

Overall, it was a good series. I enjoyed watching it, though it often kept me on edge. At times, I found it frustrating how the villain acted in such a one-sided way—he seemed to anticipate every move against him, as if he already knew what was coming. If someone can be "good" while simultaneously committing evil acts, all the while planning for future threats and launching counter-attacks, they are essentially invincible. That was the kind of antagonist we were up against; he held his ground until the very end, only to finally meet his deserved fate. Qiao Zhen Yu was highly successful in this portrayal—I really liked his performance. I only wish his character had been a bit more proactive; at times, he came across as somewhat hesitant or restrained.
The story was solid—at its core, it’s a tale of revenge, though one could also call it a story about deception. The character Di Li Ren, for instance, repeatedly devises and successfully executes various schemes, and he even becomes involved in a murder—he is, in fact, a killer. Under the guise of being a devoted family man and a good husband, he manipulates everyone around him through his elaborate plots, and he is remarkably effective at it. We follow his actions right up until the end of the series. Li Yi Tong was also excellent as the second wife and his rival. I enjoyed her performance. Chang Hua Sen, however, felt almost like a guest star; he didn't appear much and remained quite passive. It might have been better if he had more screen time and developed a romantic connection with Li Yi Tong. Instead, their interactions—ostensibly between a lawyer and a client—hinted at a mutual attraction that never truly blossomed. Esther Wang was very compelling as the first wife seeking revenge; I was quite impressed—in my opinion, she gave the best performance in the entire series. Additionally, Zeng Meng Xue, Zhou Da Wei, Cheng Hong Xin, Asher Ma, and Peter Ho also stood out.
I would recommend it to anyone interested in watching.
