Quite decent Male Harem drama.
I watched this with my friend since he is quite avid male oriented enjoyer drama and i asked him to give me non Du Zhao, Wu Hao and Yan Hao drama. I noticed it was Xie Zhe Chen who played the Yang Duo Jie from How Dare You (Long drama). The girls were not stiff on acting. I will give warning if you not comfortable with Male Harem, you can skip this drama.
ML (Sun Jian) is an unemployed college graduate from modern times, unexpectedly travels to the fictional "Da Qian Dynasty," becoming a poor scholar facing a survival crisis. To address the population problem, the imperial court implements a "first wife policy," forcing unmarried men to marry. FL is bound to three wives with vastly different identities by the system he boughts 3 women who falls into misery and people mock ML who looks old and three wives's unfortunate destinies.
Lets differs the 3 wives character:
Zhao Ling Er: A royal princess, calm, wise, and skilled in strategy.
Liu Yan: The eldest daughter of a military family, highly skilled in martial arts, and with a strong personality.
Su Yao: A merchant's daughter, proficient in business and possessing abundant resources.
I liked how this drama show three wives their strengths, breaking away from the traditional "subordinate" role and becoming key allies in the comeback. I liked how they give equal screentime to 3 wives story.
During a hunt, ML is ambushed by bandits. He and his three wives fights to subdue the bandits and bring them under his command. ML and his three wives go from being forced into a bond to sharing weal and woe, and their emotions gradually deepen. For example, Liu Yan's initial dislike turns into admiration, and Su Yao helps him overcome difficulties using her business network. ML also uses modern knowledge to resolve crisis, such as developing hybrid rice to solve food shortages and cracking down on local bullies.
This drama contains political Intrigue: ML is implicated in a cheating scandal in the imperial examinations and framed by the powerful minister Later, he joins forces with the high-ranking official Gu Zijian and the physician Chu Qingcheng to escape from prison and fight back.
Recommended to watch if you can tolerate male harem with political Intrigue. The wives are not wallflower like usual male-oriented drama.
