Riya

Xie Wei isn't a prince instead he is Duke Xue's son (Duke's heir). Though he is closely related to royal family since his father is emperor's mother's brother. That makes him and the emperor cousins.
Neither he doesn't know that Ning is reborn nor he had a rebirth.

Cheers to the Fl, she was so active in pursing and chasing ML earlier but now when it's clealy her fault she visited his office once and only left a few messages of him. When she should be thinking of ways to make up to ML, trying visiting him even if he doesn't want to see her and be completely swallowed by guilt instead she is visiting Yu Yao (who is still her blind date since she didn't even bothered to inform her parents about Shi Yan) and then showing Yi Yang her school, going on bike rides with him.
I can already imagine FL's character traits being used as toxic ex- girlfriend in some other drama. Like male lead had an ex-girlfriend whom he really loved but finds out that all along her reason of approaching him weren't right. She didn't needed him for money but for showing off. She went on blind date and avoided his question. So he stopped believing in love and waited for the right girl.

Some people don't understand that the criticism this drama is getting, isn't the typical 'haters gonna hate' type. But because audience had expections that drama is failing to fulfill. I myself was highly invested in this drama since the drama was announced, waiting and anticipating for it since months. Infact to the point that I reread the novel because I was so excited.
I get it that people who hadn't read the novel doesn't really have any comparison to do nor do they know what exactly is the problem most people are talking about. But I really enjoyed the novel and wanted for my non-reader friends to get the same experience throught the drama.
But the screenwriters ruined the essence of the original storyline. FL is coming off as a complete red flag while the ML who is supposed to be genuis, looks lika a hopeless romantic who is completely colourblind to the red sign over FL's head. When you make a series/drama/movie based on a novel, the least you can do is keep the character's personality intact. They made this drama 36 episode long but didn't bothered to care about small details that could have made huge difference.
And before someone reply to me saying "why don't you drop this drama, if you hate it so much?" Let me just say, that I am still hoping for it to get better.

They really should have made this a 24 or 28 episode drama. Both the secondary couple are basically going back and forth. GJ & BRS, both of them don't know what they really want (super toxic) while in the case QSY & YY, QSY is throwing herself to a man who is decade older than her (she is basically nothing but a second choice to him). All four of them are being used as a filler with no good storyline.
The amount of screentime they take, leaving main leads with bare miniumum. Moreover, the little amount of screen time the leads have, get's used in their slow motion moment which are disturbed with phone call and FL being a red flag.

The FL and Yu You blind date setting is way too irritating. All FL needs to do is have an heart to heart conversation with her mother and seriously tells her she likes someone or she currently going out with a guy. But instead she mulitple times have gone on blind dates with Yu You (this a serious redflag). And about when her mother didn't trust her with SY being her boyfriend, she could have send her mother the couple photos they took together on the temple.
Shi Yan already has trust issue and I have feeling that this all is going to come back in future.

It'll continue to get worst, only in last few episodes things started to get better. Not worth the time.

She suffered a lot and wanted love but she herself doesn't realised when her need for love turned into greed of power. To say she suffered doesn't justify of all her wrong doing. She ruined and used people. It won't be wrong to say that she became the person, she hated the most.

I get that FL likes ZZ because he was the only one who had selflessness and never demanded anything in return. But let's not forget that Yan Lin was once good to her too but she chose to leave him in his weakest moment because of her greed of her power.
This comment is not the comparison between ZZ and YL instead about the FL (in her previous life) who has admiration and guilt for causing ZZ's prison sentence but not for YL and those servants who genuinally cared for her at some point of her life. Good thing, she got a second chance and is making it up for her mistakes.

The writer really did this drama dirty. Such a beautiful concept and they turned it into trash. I spend most of the drama, skipping the toxic character's plotting and hoping for the good part to finally come, only to drop it in the end. I watch drama to enjoy not to get mental stress.
The idea of finding second love chance was beautiful, drama's main should have been on ML finally opening up and his journey to move on from his dead girlfriend with the help of FL. But the drama didn't really managed to deliver that message, once they were together the whole drama's point changed toward toxic characters and their plotting.
Message: 'Once you find love, all your ex's and people who have crush on you will plot against you. Not only they will ruin your new relationship but also your professional life."

40 episodes!!!! Xu kai's drama are known to have long misunderstadnings. I hope half of the episodes are not passed off with main leads having misunderstanding.

Waiting for the moment FL and the niece realise eachother's relation with ML. I hope that they make that moment grand and dramatic, it'll be soo fun.

Honestly I don't think it's about acting skills or age, those people are simply toxic immature Bai Lu & Luo Yunxi shipper. They can't deal with the fact Bai Luo is doing a romantic drama with someone that is not Luo Yunxi.

Thought this drama was about healing and second chance love but now with annoying ex-boyfriend, dead girlfriend's sister who seems way too interested in the ML (which is weird since he was her sister's boyfriend) and secondary couple getting too much of the screen time. They turned the storyline into the most typical one.

So they have added more characters and second couples compared to the novel...I hope that their storyline is actually good and not just some episode fillers.

The drama is really good but I can't get pass the FL expression. I get it, that FL is supposed to be a depressed, socially awkward introvert but that doesn't mean being expressionless and having super bland facial expressions all the time. Like it starts to feel unnatural after a certain point.

The subtle yellow colour grading in chinese dramas everytime they show an undeveloped country, is something that I guess is going to be there forever.
Also didn't they did the CT scan for FL when she hurt her head trying to save the himself, how come they didn't noticed anything wrong with FL's body. Like isn't the ML genuis, he should have caught something.

It's not just China but South Korea as well. The netizens gets so toxic and possesive over their favourite idol/actor that they are willing to ruin and ban the actor's significant partner. And even if the couple manages to survive, if by chance they decide to break up, the consequences are even worst.
It all about pleasing fan or it could cause them their entire career's downfall.

Dylan Wang has a certain dialect of Mandarin which is why he generally doesn't use his original voice. But let's hope he uses his original voice here.

So there are two ending- In one, she decides to stay in the game, since she didn't submitted the entire amount in the box. In other, she returns and discovers that ML was another player/employee at the company.
But I really which there was something more it. At the beginning, from the phone call we saw that FL didn't had good relation with her mother, what happened to that? What did FL do from the experience she gained from the show? She became so successful in the game, what about her real life?
They gave every character a proper ending and good screen time but somehow the main leads together only recieved barely 2 minutes together. If only drama had dedicated an entire last episode on the leads, the drama would have become way better.
