If the beginning doesn't make sense because of poor subtitles, look at Zii3's review. The second paragraph explains…
Also, now that it's up on iQIYI, the English subtitles are great! Way better than any youtube post I saw, and makes the whole show much easier to follow :D
I found a working link on 8/11/25. Great English subtitles (below under spoiler), though multiple scenes are played out of order. So the jumps from scenes can be a little confusing at times, but I was still able to follow it and piece it together. Even with that, it was still a definite 10/10 watch for me!
Came across another link 8/7/25: https://youtu.be/kuc6BFEO0qE?si=FlxpNzFX5SfBiKld
Oh! The link ended in different letters, so I thought it was a new one... but I see now that the "kuc6BFEO0qE" part in the middle is the same. Now I know to look out for that in the future, thanks :)
Man, Chen Si is so good; I kept re-playing his emotional scenes because his microfacial expressions and changes in tone of voice were captivating and tugged hard at my own emotions.
I found the whole thing extremely satisfying. A smart FL (also acted well and a perfect fit for the role), a well-executed revenge plan against multiple people, a green flag ML with a dangerous edge, fun teasing/flirting between the leads, plenty of skinship and passionate kisses yet tender moments too, some well-done angst between the leads that is resolved in a timely manner and well before the end, and a happy ending for the good guys.
10/10 for me (I rate vertical dramas on their own sliding scale) and I expect I will rewatch.

Found a link someone shared on Reddit that worked as of 8/7/25 (I put it in spoiler comment below).
May be fun for those who like obsessive male leads who force kisses (or are just Zhao Zhen Dong fans). I'm both yet felt meh about this show. So much screen time is spent on annoying/predictable scenes with antogonists that I wasn't left satisfied with the story of the main couple. It oddly didn't feel like much happened in 2hr 45min. Especially since it's an open-ending; feels like it stops 1/2 to 2/3 of the way through a story.
Not my cup of tea, personally. The acting is good and the kisses are fantastic, but the leads' relationship is built on love at first lust and not much else. All of the focus is on very melodramatic plot elements and there's really no growth to their relationship. They are either sleeping together, or rarely in the same scenes together (or they are but they're at odds). Disappointing. The plot got annoying very quickly; misunderstandings that could be cleared with one sentence, a SFL and SML who won't take no for an answer no matter how plainly stated, drugging, attempted rape (twice- the fact that the FL gives the SML a pass the first time because "he's drunk" pissed me off), breaking up brutaly to protect other people, kidnapping, horrible parents and siblings, etc. The last scene was very sweet, at least.
