I love Yan Zi Xian and have watched around 21 of his dramas, dropping only one or two. However, this one just didn't work for me. The shocking opening immediately hooked me. I wanted to see where the female lead’s story would go because when was clever, bold, and lethal, I loved the performance. But the moment that things began to shift to jealousy and framing others, I lost my interest.

I kept watching partly because of the short format. With micro dramas, I don't need to love the entire production, whereas a longer drama requires a more consistent level of engagement to justify my time investment. Plus, I was particularly curious about where the story would go around the midpoint, when I expected a major turning point or a shift in direction. Instead, the plot offered little of the development I had hoped for, and the growing focus on characters I wasn’t invested in did little to improve the experience. By the end, I felt the drama had wasted much of the potential established in its opening episodes.

Overall, this one just wasn’t for me. The premise had me hooked, but the execution fell short.
