For Trypophobia people, please stay away from this drama.

Warning if you have trypophobia skip this drama, ML's burn sticker, though small, is really triggering.

A decent drama; worth watching for the leads' good looks. The whole drama revolves around resolving the FL's family's problems first, then the ML's. It feels like a hodgepodge of tropes from many short dramas. While the plot has many dramatic moments, overall it felt rather bland and didn't really grab my attention. The ending also destroyed the drama.

Both the ML and FL are quite smart and don't do anything stupid; despite these scenes, they don't suffer much. FL's family is completely evil family actually FL decision for leaving her family is smart.

There were also many scenes I didn't particularly like, so I probably won't watch it a second time.

Compilation of Old Tropes

This drama is a compilation of old tropes by Min Jie and Chai Chai. Both of them have great banter but they need to learn kissing lesson hahaha. The entire story revolves around four people: the FL mistakes the SML for her benefactor, and the SML mistakes the SFL for his benefactor.

SFL constantly tries to get the SML to divorce the Fl. SFL doesn't love the FL but enjoys humiliating her.

FL actually doesn't suffer because it's all talk and no action, but the verbal sparring is relatively comfortable to watch. ML and SFL, who haven't mistaken each other, are actually the SML and FL third parties,

Actually it was decent drama, but if you are plot-driven or morally right person you wont like it.

Another cliche plot

Personally the plot is cliche--FL is being drugged and got one night stand with ML in the car. Antagonist aka FL sister took FL place and misunderstand between FL and ML keeps happening and the comedy is quite cheap quality.
ML characterization was quite boring FL comedic banter wont save this drama (Zhao Caizi has not met her perfect comedic banter ML). The romantic sparks between Luo Jiaqi and Zhao Caizi are non-exist. On verge on dropping this drama.
Too bad there is no grandmas reaction after she learned FL was pregnant.

Maybe hardcore fans could enjoy this.

Mediocre drama with artificial sweetness.

I was so excited to see Ma Lejie in this drama, but I was very disappointed. The plot was so-so, and the sweetness was artificial. It's a cliché story: because the ML d is rumored to be dying, FL marries him as substitute bride of her pampered younger sister, using her medical skills to heal him. Then the sister tries to sabotage the wedding, and the FL gradually reveals her true identities as a jewelry design genius and a medicine god.

Actually, the substitute marriage was all planned by the female lead from the beginning to run from her abusive family. The performances of both leads were mediocre; the domineering CEO was annoying. I wonder if higher expectations lead to greater disappointment.

Maybe hardcore fans of both actor could enjoy this.

Damped crackers

I watched this when i am Jia Yixuan binge watching and realized the ML was Huang Bo.

Plot is about FL accidentally bumps into the male lead while delivering takeout. ML recognizes her immediately and kisses her forcefully. Later, ML gives a lecture at her school, where they meet again, and he chooses her as a student. Four years ago, the ML was being chased, and the FL unexpectedly saves him, leading to a gratitude love.

The plot was quite baffling; the first half was better than the second definitely declined. The screenwriter's intentions in the second half were unclear. The pacing was slow, with little ups and downs. The villain's forced entry was a major blunder. Many real kisses, but no romantic ones especially the first scene. The villains have a lot of screen time, and the relationship between the male and female leads isn't sweet. The chemistry between the leads was like eating damped crackers.

Never like ML characterization, he is just straight creep for me.

Only recommended to watch for solo fans.

My comedy side wont agree in this drama

I watch because of Song Yujia and finally got sweet drama with Wang Yanxin after their affair drama with Zhang Tianjing.

FL who is a lawyer had a one-night stand with the ML a few years ago and gave birth to a son. To help her client, she goes undercover, only to mistake ML for a gang leader, leading to a series of hilarious events.

Okay the comedic part didn't click me and FL characterization was inconsistent, she is lawyer but she didn't know what ML looks on 5 years ago. ML was too assertive and didn't get his comedic time too.

Recommended to perhaps the solo fans of the actors.

Nice premise wrong execution

While the premise is quite novel, the story wasn't well-told. SML and SFL transmigrated into the book to drive the plot, and their perspectives were clearly those of the viewers – just like us. However, the limited runtime meant that developing the main characters' story while also introducing the second leads felt rushed, leaving neither aspect fully explained. Compared to the cast, the plot was weak, focusing primarily on the conflict between the main characters and their stepmother, with very little development of the main couple's romance. There was almost no emotional build-up or sweet moments, somewhat wasting Liu Qing and Bai Yan's acting talent.

Secondary couple felt more like spectators, failing to even advance the plot; the main characters had to rely on their intelligence to resolve the crisis. The actress playing the stepmother overacted;her exaggerated facial expressions always made me sigh.

Don't watch unless you want to see Liu Qing and Bai Yan romantic moment.

Decent Classic drama despite mainstream plot.

It was Zeng Hui-Han Yutong first collaboration and i still enjoy it regardless of mainstream plot.

FL is a feisty and outspoken woman, not the traditional soft and innocent type; ML is a seemingly cold but actually affectionate CEO. The leads are a bickering couple, their rivalry blossoming into romance. The drama employs all the familiar tropes, from a drunken encounter at the beginning to misunderstandings, impersonation, and a series of bickering events, filled with dramatic and humorous elements that keep viewers hooked.

One of classic drama can be rewatch all the time.

Pure Revenge with little slip of romance

I watch this because i like Jia Yixuan and i surprised at the chemistry and how Jia Yixuan dominated Shen Haonan on kissing scene.

FL only seeks revenge, using and scheming against him. ML genuinely loves the female lead; she is the only light in his life. I like FL banter with SML even the force scene wasn't unnecessary.

If you want to see Shen Hao Nan break away from the typical domineering CEO persona, I highly recommend watching this. You can watch it without getting carried away. Although this character is yandere, he's blind, ruthless, and possessive to the extreme. It's not entirely forced love, but he still forces FL quite a bit. Some of the lines are really embarrassing.

I liked the ending, especially when FL acclaimed her lose. Recommended to watch.
