I watched this because i want to see Yue Yuting on non expertise role (a sedutress), she should step out of her comfort zone of period dramas and take on more roles like this. I dont familar with Guan Ye works do this is my first time seeing his works.

This version is all fairly standard and should be one of the more complete versions in terms of plot. FL awakening is explained before and after, and a way to break the deadlock is given in the end, making it a complete ending. Like other versions, the male lead is a perfect character. No matter how many times he's abandoned and betrayed, he immediately forgives the female lead as soon as she shows even the slightest sign of improvement.

The biggest problem with this drama is that the plot is somewhat tragic due to its established setting. FL is unable to act multiple times because of this setting, leading to her abandoning her child and running away with the SML. She's even taken away by the SML in front of everyone, especially the scene with the child – it was infuriating and making traumatic experience for a child.

Putting aside the forced tragedy in those ten or so episodes, the overall plot is quite good, with a decent level of sweetness. The supporting characters are all quite interesting, and the ending is perfect.
