I may have cheated bc i watched sm scenes on 2x speed and also skipped a few scenes lol. In my defense, the plot was really predictable. There were no suspense and build up to anything really. And i had ni trouble understanding in the end so...


I really just watched this for Shen Du and Liu Niang. I watched almost every other scenes on 2x speed starting episode 10. The mysteries are just not that good, I wish they were more stand-alone types instead of this forced connection to the over all mystery plot which is not really a mystery when the villains are revealed halfway through. Even the ending arc is so clichéd. Wanting a divorce to keep her safe as if everyone don't see how much they're so in love with each other, the divorce is a non issue. They still know they can hurt him through her. And who would even believe he wanted a divorce and then side with the villain. Even the villain can see through that, so there was no shock when everything was revealed.

I know the leads have a big age gap irl but I really liked their chemistry here and I just have to force myself to forget that fl is only 19 🥲 bc I really liked their characters here. I love that Liu Niang is very smart and also very fun and could be aggressive if situation calls. Not to mention very brave. It makes up for Shen Du having to save her all the time. And she also got to save him a few times.

So despite my many complaints, I loved the leads and I am very easily entertained so 8.5/10. Would probably rewatch.
