Supreme Diety travels incognito. This was just a pure delight that came with a huge bonus: I got to discover Zhong Xiao Qi. Her range and skills set just kept getting more and more impressive. Stellar performance might be an understatement. The good news is that the material, cast, production, editing, and other aspects, weren't overwhelmed. Kudos to whomever was responsible for casting. Any lesser performances would have been disruptive. Yan Xin Ke was a perfect choice.

Doing my best not to skree like a happy dancing fan girl. FAIL!
Definitely on my Best Ones and Rewatch lists.

One commenter said "Best of this genre.". Likely.

Loved this. Just fun. Found myself smiling beginning to end. That's a 10 for me.

Usual "travels into novel as reborn character" tropes minus the over used annoying bits. The FL (Liu Xi Yue) goes op with planning, counters, and retribution. For example, lots of moments, but at 1:19 the actors really milk their double-spin response to FL's 2-person face slaps. Scumbags? Beware. ML/FL relationship? Once they connect, they go all out. No detours or hesitation. The actors played to type, without the usual exaggeration. Music replaced subs but not intrusive.

Might be the odd one out, but I just really like this one.

This, and "My One and Only" are the two picks I regularly rewatch. IMO, no contest, the best of the adaptations. None of the casting was found wanting. Incredible performance by Yin Yibo ~ exceptional character nuance and detail. He really does about as much as possible with this character. Story is complete and flows so smoothly there's almost a dreamlike quality. Oh... The music gets a 10 for not being annoying.

A lot of subtle reveals amongst the obvious events. It's made clear that, with the marriage cancelled, Shen Nan Zhi's place in the family and social status is considered null. Jiang Jin Nian, the elder brother, is totally protective of that not happening. However, it's shown that he's always been aware of, and caring for Nanzhi; just respectful of roles and boundaries. Although claiming no foundation of feelings, he virtually leaps at the opportunity to marry her. He's returned from abroad, relocated the company headquarters, and embraces the marriage without giving any quarter.
