The premises is common but needs to skill to make it engaging

I actually watch Jinze and Zhang Chuxuan second drama first and it was decent watch and know this is their first drama i decided to watch this.

The premise of this drama might be similar to typical regret-filled stories: FL deeply loves the SML, who is unaware of his own love for her but prefers the SFL; FL leaves, ML gets lucky, SML discovers his true love, regrets missing out on the FL, and then begins to punish the scumbags. Typically, the SML is a jerk, and the SFL is a scheming woman. What makes this drama special is its character development

For example, SML isn't a jerk. Initially, he rejects FL decisively, and I even thought FL was asking for trouble in the first half. But after watching the whole series, I felt he was a flesh-and-blood character, and all his actions were consistent with his character. Similarly, the SFL's scheming nature has a reason, unlike some short dramas where scheming is just for the sake of scheming, blaming the FL for every mistake.

ML falls in love with FL at first sight, helps her protect her mother's belongings, rescues her when she's kidnapped, and protects her in every way after marriage. He's also jealous and competitive.

Pacing is tight and smooth without dragging, there's no unnecessary dialogue, and the ending is even more uplifting. Everyone has their own happiness, there's no need to force it, love yourself before loving others.

Recommended to watch.
