Faced with injustice and the scheming of villains, Shen An’an bravely fights back with the fearless tenacity of a “foolhardy calf unafraid of tigers.” She remains true to herself, independent, and self-reliant, forming a mutual bond with her equally clear-headed and independent mother-in-law, Ji Mingzhu.

This was a fun watch, both leads were great, Yi Hang is adorable as always.. Personal gripe probably no one else cares about... schizophrenia and dissociative identity disorder (formerly known as split personality disorder) are not the same thing. Not sure how diagnosis works in China or other countries, but in the US we go by diagnostic standards called the DSM5 established by our psychiatric association (APA). I don't want to go down the rabbit hole of the differences between schizo type disorders and DID, but this is not the first drama where I've seen this conflation, not to mention DID does not work the way it was portrayed in the drama (and all the other dramas for that matter). I guess it kind of grinds my gears how mental illness and mental health is often used as a punchline in these dramas. I am aware this is entertainment, and the main focus of the story is not how DID works (but actually, it kinda is, as the plot device that drives this particular story).. I kind of wished the screenwriters would do some better research on these matters and not treat it so flippantly.
