It gives me asadora type of drama.

I watched this drama on December 2025 since i want to see some Family drama and it reminds me of Asadora since they showed Sichuan and Chongqing dialect in this drama.

Wang Daotie's acting is truly solid, and in this drama, his performance is explosive, perfectly embodying the devastation of a middle-aged person losing a loved one. Sun Yiran's acting in the second season is a step up from the first, with more layers in her performance; sometimes, you can feel the emotions she wants to convey just by looking at her eyes. The child actors' acting is also quite good espeicially the Eldest sister, showing great promise for the future. The only exception is the actor who played Zhou Dawei as a child, who was slightly lacking.

Personally i don't really invested on adult version of the children story but Wang Peiyan is gave me a surprise. Duan Meiyang had limited screentime but his acting was so memorable. Deng Ling Shu acting was decent. Zhao Tingyi speech reminds me of My late neighbour.

The cons is the duration is too long but still Worth to rewatching.

The demon part was quite boring

I watched Yunmiao and i still enjoy this despite all the flaws.

There is two main story on this drama; The Demon-Suppressing Family and The Death of the True Heiress. The theme is really good, but the stories need to be chosen carefully. The demon part was not really good and i almost asleep on that part. The heiress one was quite original, and the way of getting revenge was pretty satisfying—killing the enemy every day.

Season 3 is better than Season 2. The story unfolds through the performances of the supporting characters, rather than the monologues and dialogue of Season 2. There's significantly less verbal sparring.

It's great things that this show hasn't declined in quality over several seasons. I felt Season 2 wasn't as good as Season 1, and I didn't have high hopes for Season 3, but it turned out to be a better than season 2. Not only is the heiress part is good but the production maintains its high standard, and the costumes and props are even more refined.

Decent watch if you didnt want to get romance drama.

There is too many flaws about FL characterization

I watched this when i want to explore more Gong Fang Ni works and i dont familiar with Feng Yiyang so perhaps this is my first review about him. Both actor are deliver their acting and their chemistry was quite cute to watch. The relationship growth between the lead was quite interesting.

The plot is usual generic drama Poor FL was being drugged and got one-night stand with ML. She wake up and ML asks how much money she wants. Still left with dignity, she refused until she got called from hospital about FL grandma bills. This drama contains misunderstand between the leads from FL purpose to ask ML for money until green teas who come for ML. The most hilarious FL tells ML she needs to work early before the pervert boss comes in. He walks in looking all fine and turns out he was the boss and checking her out.

The cons are FL was so dumb she needs to straight paying for hospital bills instead of giving her uncle family money while he sends her to work at pub. FL also being hypocrite person she keeps the non-exist pride for ML while she getting bullied by her family and needs money, ML was not good either he literally paid her and saying we must kept our relationship a secret but getting angry over FL without confessing his feeling. And the SFL was most delusional person while ML reject her she thinks he still like her.

This is for hardcore fans of Gong Fang Ni or Feng Yiyang.

Actually the plot was decent.

I check if i have seen this Huang Yunyun drama while i actually have seen that and realized i had seen this drama last year since i am not quite familiar with Jin Wang face (forgive my face blindness).

Plot is about Twins are born and the Taoist said that twin flowers blooming together are a calamity for the Prime Minister's family. One of the girls is destined to be a phoenix, other one is destined to bad luck. FL family throw they baby into the cliff. FL was saved by Taoist master. In order to obtain the purple energy, she drugged and kidnapped ML l to escape a calamity, she sexually assaults the ML, causing him to become infertile—and then runs away with twins. ML legs was quite healed after that-but he pretends to being disabled for political purpose.

The only one who suffers the most from beginning to end is the ML. He tells the FL, "I know you'll run away, but even though I'm not as strong as you, I'll still chase after you. You know I have the ability to chase you." Fortunately, the FL is eventually won over. ML is quite respectful to FL choice even he can force her but he knows FL more than FL itself. Luckily ML had the twins as his cupid over FL. The twins are quite smart and wise children.

There is no misunderstanding between the leads ML knows the real FL so there is no identity mistake. I like the ending for every characters in there, they got deserve ending. The only downside is that the MLs acting could have been better perhaps this is one of reason i don't remember the actor.

Recommended to Watch despite the flaws.

The chemistry between Meng Lu and Charon are mystery for me.

I watched this drama after watching Zhai Xinran-Wang Chanpeng and Zao Zao Er-Li Sheng Jie and it was better assignment so can compare them more fairly.

Plot is about FL and ML are bickering buddies since high school. ML has always secretly loved the FL and tutored her. The FL successfully entered the university he attended, and the two supported each other throughout. After graduation, FL's family pressured them to get married, so they had a whirlwind wedding.

Charon's stubbornness was just too captivating and i quite like Meng Lu even some of people think she was too mature for him. The chemistry is burning the kitchen. The kissing scenes are incredibly sensual and sweet. The scene where the ML proposes to the FL moves me.

There are no melodramatic or illegal plots. FL only shows her girlish whims and capriciousness in front of the ML, who truly takes good care of her. ML is incredibly doting and charming, exuding a strong sense of husbandly love. His little expressions, gestures, and flirtatious remarks are all charming. He knows boundaries and is even good at judging tea

My cons is they should make the place is flat not villa since it was slightly unlogic since SML comes to the villa without the security. What is the point?

Despite all the flaws, it was decent to watch.

Post-Apocalyptic Scam while this is cheesy drama plot.

I was quite interested on Wang Haozhen being in zombie drama and it turns out it was scam.

I'm quite interested in post-apocalyptic superpowers, but unfortunately, the drama didn't showcase them as a highlight. They only showed a few characters awakening their powers, introduced their names, and then that was it. I feel like being scammed.

Why tell a generic CEO romance novel disguised as a post-apocalyptic story? It's the apocalypse, can't we stop with all the romance? There's even this male-female rivalry, and I have to endure the constant banter in this post-apocalyptic setting—it's really ridiculous.

I want to watch post-apocalyptic stories to see humanity's will to live in the face of zombies, and to explore the depths of human nature in the face of life and death? Who wants to see the protagonists just being love-struck idiot? And the post-apocalyptic living conditions are just too good! Electricity is one thing, but there's also a bathtub, steak, cake, wine, cigarettes, and a helicopter—it's really impressive.

The only redeeming qualities are the good makeup and styling of the ML and FL.

If you want to see generic romance go for it but if you like Zombie Apocalyptic, don't watch it, this is scam

Never understand the FL's womb logic in this drama.

I watched it because I really liked Peng Yao dramas.

Wang Nian Jiang Cheng's white hair look was really good. It was supposed to be a sweet little drama, but somehow it turned into a complete mess. The romance wasn't smooth either; everything felt inexplicable.

The premise quite new since FL is reborn with her womb, and the first half is incredibly sweet. If you cut out all the scenes with the SFL, this would be a super sweet romance. Unfortunately, the screenwriter can't write a script without adding melodramatic female rivalry, ruining a perfectly good sweet drama. The premise of traveling with a womb is initially appealing, but the screenwriter treats it as if the child isn't there, resulting in various inconsistencies in the plot.

For example, plot point of a FL getting pregnant and having a child during time travel is just too much. It's terrifying to think that a college freshman would be pregnant. And then there are all sorts of other things that happen afterward. If a college freshman gets pregnant, the child must be incredibly resilient.

I almost dropped this drama due the Inconsistencies and tried to fasten 2.5x speed for better review.

Maybe if you're not plot driven and still hardcore fans you can enjoy this.

Quite conflicted with Jinzi Bratty Princess persona.

I watched this last year and actually Jinzi is the first version i ever watched before Tian Jiu Luo and it was nice decision for me.

The plot is significantly better than the first version, more complete, with more reasonable details and better distribution of screen time, thus establishing the characters of the ML. Even in this drama they mostly focused on Zhang Tingrui and Jinzi moment.

This drama show the younger brother is a sickly puppy, General Huo is a proud puppy, Young Marquis Xie is a frizzy puppy, and the prince is an aloof puppy. Too bad the Prime Minister appearance almost non exist in this.

The thing that i don't like in this drama Jinzi characterization is she showing Bratty princess instead of Dog trainer. For Zhang Tingrui, his acting ability was show limited in this drama. But the Marquis Xie has really best comedy technique in this drama and his screentime was almost same as Zhang Tingrui.

It seems like they're planning a second season since the novel is still ongoing, but it's hard to guarantee a good short series. If you don't mind a bad ending, you can watch it. The plot is much better than the first version, but for FL characterization

Still decent watch though.

I love the ambiguous tension between the lead.

I watched this last year and i quite like Feng Ming Chao-Meng Na version (The best version of the adaptation). so i give this version try.

The plot is actually so-so, the supporting characters' constant bickering is annoying, and FL doesn't suffer any losses. Yang Han and Meng Lu are are good-looking and very pleasing to the eye. But Meng Lu chemistry with Yang Han isn't strong. Honestly, in Yang Han's several dramas, I haven't felt much chemistry with any of the main characters. There aren't many sweet moments, but they're quite sweet. The kisses was decent even it was not sensual. This drama offers ambiguous tension that i enjoy.

Stills decent drama to watch.

Quite bad drama even if you watch in that time and this time.

I watched this in 2024 and i know this plot was quite trend among short drama.

Plot is about FL who become substitute bride for her sister to marry disabled ML. FL only know her sister was having affair with FL boyfriend so she agree to become bride for disabled ML who turned out to be FL boyfriend uncle. When FL have wedding night FL ex wants to rape her and suddenly ML open his eye and scare FL ex. ML family suggest FL to get pregnant but ML don't want FL to be pregnant and will kill her baby if FL get pregnant. FL was actually pregnant lying she had abortion and using her ex name for medical checkup.

The acting and chemistry was that bad. It feels like you watching C+ drama assignment in your highschool since iit was obviously on-budget drama and yeah fake kisses strikes again.

The only decent acting is ML sister acting in here. Overall this drama was bad.

Watching this make me doubt about anything

I watched this after Xiao Wenyu version comes out and that drama quite hard to watch. For me, this is slightly better and have balanced acting since Chen Gang and Tian Miao Miao embodies their character greatly.

This drama is hard to categorize. If you call it tragic, you feel the FL deserves the sins she committed in her past life, and you also feel the ML deserves his own madness. If you call it sweet, the ML genuinely loves the FL in both lives. In the previous life, he forced himself on her, and in this life, he pretends not to love her in public while secretly being a devoted admirer.

I don't know who is tormented beside the myself. You say ML is tormented? I think he enjoys it. You say the FL is tormented? I think she's really asking for it. You say the housekeeper is tormented? He gets a high salary.

Actually the half of first drama was better pace until the appearance of brother. He is the one who destroy the yin yang of this crazy drama and everything was disjointed. The brother is one of reason i am not recommended this drama.

This drama supposed to highlight FL more

I watched this last year since i want to watch He Jianqi in ancient drama.

It's a quick transmigration story. FL dies as an empress at the beginning, and then transmigrates into various forms, including a princess, a eunuch, and an empress dowager. She starts by wanting to escape but gradually becomes aware of the ML feelings for her and ultimately thwarts the villain's plot. The story itself is terrible, and the character development is also quite poor. The chemistry is barely non-exist between He Jianqi and Ma Xinyu.

The highlight in this drama is He Jianqi feel like his acting is very natural, especially his rebellious and unruly character, which is just right. Actually this drama should highlight F character since she change in many forms but i feel Ma Xinyu still failed to grap the difference of character charm.

Only recommended to solo fans.
