A bit late, but it should be this one: 合约之外的心动 (Hé Yuē Zhī Wài De Xīn Dòng)

Also known as: Beijing Princeling
FL: Star Wang (Wang Bing Xing)

Same here! :) Definitely worth watching his other dramas if you get the chance. He’s such a versatile actor.

It has aired, but the sound quality on the YT links I posted isn't the greatest. The raw version on Dailymotion has much better sound. Hopefully, a version with subs will pop up soon!

In 1992, against the background of the great era of family planning, Jiangcheng factory flower Du Xiaolei was surrounded by creditors because her husband “who drowned” was burdened with debts. Unwilling to give in, she works with her biggest creditor, Zhao Jiangsheng, to sell unsalable condoms, and despite much criticism from the conservative town, opens the market with courage and wisdom. She helped female workers with unwanted pregnancies, resisted the suppression of the director of a textile factory, quit her job to start a business, opened a family planning supplies store with Zhao Jiangsheng, etc., breaking prejudices and the business gradually started. The two also fall in love with each other, and after they become husband and wife, they end up having a good love and career.

Synopsis:

Oh, now I see what you meant about it being confusing! Thank you for the info. I’m gonna watch it today and hopefully it’s worth the long wait. Fingers crossed!

My wish has been granted! :) The synopsis sounds intriguing enough so I’ll definitely give it a watch. Looks like we’ll have to wait until December for the last episode though...

I don’t mind the vertical format and I’ve seen many high-quality productions released lately, so I was holding out a bit of hope for this drama. Thank you for the link! I think I’ll check it out if only to see a bit of LJL until he appears in a better project. :) Hopefully very soon!

Is this any good? I can’t bring myself to start another Li Jiulin drama only to face bitter disappointment again. :(

Title: 掌中灼爱 (Zhǎng Zhōng Zhuó Ài)
Also knows as: Burning Love in the Palm, Love Thing

Jiang Shan's ill-fated eldest daughter. Due to the entanglement of family interests, he was forced to marry his step-sister Jiang Miaomiao to the rumored cruel Lu Qianfan, the eldest son of the Lu family. Jiang Shan, who has a bold personality, decisively runs away from the marriage on the wedding day and breaks into Lu Qianfan's car when he panics. At that time, she had no idea that the person in front of her was her groom.
Lu Qianfan, the richest man in Haicheng, is cold on the outside but gentle on the inside. Faced with Jiang Shan, who has run away from the marriage, he takes it home, and the two reach an agreement for a flash marriage. After their marriage, Lu Qianfan hides his identity as the richest man and starts a ridiculous life with Jiang Shan. In getting along, they gradually develop feelings for each other. Jiang Shan transforms into a husband-protecting maniac, while Lu Qianfan also dotes on his wife domineeringly, but he also often gets angry because of jealousy.
Meanwhile, Jiang Miaomiao and Jiang Shan's scumbag stepmother's family frequently act as monsters to destroy Jiang Shan's married life, but they have no choice but to end in failure every time. Lu Qianfan's grandparents even lived in a scrap station in order to urge their marriage, which unexpectedly helped the relationship between the two heat up.

My pleasure! I like having the full description since it makes it easier to keep track. :) It's hard enough with how slowly things get added here on MDL.

It should be this one: 南风拂我意

This one's definitely a high production value drama. The cinematography and story were fantastic and it really set the bar high. Vertical dramas are definitely evolving. Looking forward to seeing more of Liu Xiao Xu who's quickly climbing my favorites list.
