No matter what people said, i always love the ending.

I watched this when i am on Huang Yunyun binge festival and i quite enjoy this drama.

FL in this drama has the most difficult role to take down in any short drama I've ever seen, bar none. Initially, she has to hide her arranged marriage from her husband (SML) while simultaneously developing feelings for the male lead, all while dealing with the power struggles of the SML's savior and his "white moonlight" (idealized love interest). Later, she has to enter the palace and fight against the male lead's harem. ML is a cold-blooded, ruthless emperor with a deceased "white moonlight," who doesn't even kiss anyone. FL meticulously plans and slowly wins the MLs heart, eliminating her rivals one by one. Her schemes are fresh and unconventional, with unexpected processes and outcomes that are refreshing. Huang Yunyun and Wang Yuwei are quite match by looks and their chemistry were decent to watch.

Drama's ending was perfectly adapted, avoiding many common pitfalls of short dramas and i always think the ending was too good to be true.

don't let ur crush get in the way of ur husband!

this was so fluffy and sweet and romantic muah muah green flag. the business parts i skipped em all! cuz why are they just filler episodes i hate it. anywho...

things i liked:
1. FL did not let the 2ML have another chance/she didn't put up with him. SOOOO many times i watch these dramas and the FL gives the 2ML the benefit of the doubt or another chance and ditches her ML. didnt do that tho! and she put him in his place and he still crawled back. mmhm. side note, (2ML lost out on THREE whole baddies...LOL)
2, NGL loved the heir x heiress rich x rich vibe. kidna cute at the wedding scenes the couple has their own inside jokes and aslo understands the other's family dynamic etc etc. enough with the rich x poor!!!! glad this didnt have that
3. it only took FL to cry ONCE and ML literally was on the ground and lost all of his resentment toward the woman that (supposedly) ruined his entire career. that had me floored tbh lol.
4. LOVE LOVE LOVED THE COUSIN. HE WAS THE MOMENT FOR ME. his acting wasn't stiff and fake like so many others and he was so real and cute. His acting was fire fire. i need more of him.

things i didnt like:
1. business plot duh
2. this was fire up til like ep 18-25 ish. after that just got BORING. like yes they love each other and are in a healthy stable relationship but like BRUHHHH BORING!!!!!!! nothing funny at all just calm calm. too boring.
3. WISH THERE WAS A 2ND LOVE LINE. ugh like FL's bestie at work x ML's doctor bestie??? i thought they were gonna play that out at the dinner group they had but then it was SKIPPED> WASTED POTENTIAL.
4. nothing rly unique about this drama tbh

Assertive alpha female X Manipulative green tea male

I was trying to remember other version of Wang Nan- Lu Lulu drama and it was Shen Haonan-Wen Moyan version which MDL didn't have the page.

Plot is about FL and her scumbag husband was to get married. On their wedding day, the husband's personality completely changes drastically and he disappears. FL single-handedly supports the company. Four years later, she reports her husband's death, finally forcing him to reappear. She finally gets her wish and divorces the seemingly perfect but ultimately rotten marriage (The scene was so iconic)

FL best friend, celebrates the occasion at a karaoke bar by having her brother-ML, who secretly loves the female lead, pretend to be a male model to advance his career.

To appease FL grandmother, FL has a one-night stand with the ML, and initially falls for him. However, due to his attentiveness and gentleness, she gradually develops feelings for him. The two signed a sugar daddy/sugar baby agreement.

Lu Lulu herself has a very strong and assertive aura, perfectly suited for this domineering female CEO role. The emotional scenes are also very heart-wrenching; she's independent on the outside but soft on the inside. Wang Nan is quite good as Green Tea Male lead and it feels better than Shen Haonan one.

Recommended to watch.

the drama of all time

No villain just life . When I tell you, I was in a a slump when I started this, and was immediately brought out. Literally can relate to everything from this drama. The poverty, Wanting more than my parents can provide, the daddy daughter relationship, I truly saw my mother in ae-sun I could go on and on between the parallels of my life and this drama, but iu and park Bo gum. GIVE THE CASTING DIRECTORS THEIR 10s I usually stick to my cheesy rom kdramas but This was so something beautiful. THE CHEMESTRY AND ACTING OH MY GODD PERFECT. I only give the rewatch value a five because I don’t really like re-watching stuff

wont rewatch this drama again.

This is a old formula: the junior sister is treated differently by the entire sect, and the FL is tortured to death before being reborn and seeking revenge. 20 minutes are pure frustration, In the middle of drama attempts to make the second senior brother reflect (but using a flashback mirror to make him realize his mistakes makes it hard to rate), then a sect competition is inserted in the middle, and the last few episodes focus on the master's reflection.

Personally, I don't like the FL's character, but it's clear the screenwriter fault and wont rewatch again.

It was more depth than common revenge drama

I was quite happy to see Ma Le Jie and Chen Gang acting in this drama.

Based on the synopsis, I thought it was just a typical revenge-themed drama, but after watching half of it, I realized it wasn't that simple. FL emotional is well-developed, far superior to typical revenge dramas. The only thing that can hurt her is the behavior of the ML (after all, she loved him deeply and wasn't completely disappointed, so it's understandable).

Even when FL patience and love to ML are completely gone, and she's pregnant, she resolutely refuses to turn back, her only thought being to keep the child and leave the father.

The mistress isn't your average mistress (I won't spoil it here; you'll find it more interesting to watch), and the SML also has his own love interest. The supporting characters aren't stereotypical or merely tools, making the drama's scope far greater than typical revenge dramas. The pacing is tight and smooth, the network of relationships is vast and complex, the characters are well-developed, and the plot is full of twists and turns, making it captivating.

I really like the ending it was refreshing.

If it not for Liu Xiao Xu, i would dropped this drama

I watched it because of Liu Xiao Xu. I had beef with Wang Xiao Yi intonation since it was my pet peeve but she slightly improved.

First, the advantages: the production is impeccable except for the background music.

The overall script is what many people call a lowbrow script—not particularly exciting, and quite melodramatic. It's about a domineering CEO falling in love with a divorced, aborted woman. If you think about it more deeply, the script's problems become even bigger.

FL's so-called growth is actually just confidence gained from having a background and resources. Has she truly grown? To prove her growth, a pointless scene of her running away while pregnant was forcibly added at the end, making the story structure even more chaotic.

Those who love its tone, quality, or character design will probably love it. Those who want to delve into the story will likely be disappointed like me.

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.

Though it was angst drama but turn out to be sweet drama

I was thought this drama is full of angst since i was thought it was about pseudo-incest but I was surprised it was actually super sweet short drama with plot twists. The Chemistry between Duan Meiyang and Peng Yao are too sweet.

ML is initially indifferent to the FL since he thought her mother was the reason his mother died. FL is even more impressive. She earns her tuition through her own efforts, making her an economically independent and talented young woman and she was the one who disagree with her mother marriage to ML father.

Despite FL 's coldness towards FL, the two gradually realize their importance to each other through their interactions. After many twists and turns, they finally come together, overcoming numerous misunderstandings and difficulties, and found FL real family.

I have to recommend this drama! The actors' performances are absolutely amazing and the ending was satisfying.

This is My Guilty Pleasure

I watched this on Dramabox with other name Mismarriage. The plot is cliche, FL got one-night-stand with FL and antagonist took her place. ML began to torture FL and FL got sick and died ML felt devastated and want to repent himself and suddenly ML got accident and met someone with FL face as his savior.

Bai Yan and Ma Xiao Yu chemistry are the reason i watch this drama until finish. Ma Xiao Yu nailed playing scumbag ML. The Antagonists are quite scary and make ML character is more humane despite developing Stalker behavior.

This is my guilty pleasure. Only Hardcore fans could watch this.

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.

Funsies Fantasy

I watch this because i was on the Sun Qian Xun mood.

Plot is about ML, after having a child, is only allowed five years to live, needing the child's heart's blood to prolong his life. Due to a serious illness, he needs his son's heart's blood as a medicine to prolong his life, which puts him in a dilemma between morality and family responsibility, and also causes conflict with FL. ML's father is a blue phoenix, ML is a red phoenix, and ML is a golden phoenix.

The CGI in this drama is decent for short drama. I love banter between Sun Qianxun and Zhang Yuntao but for romantic couple they lack the chemistry for that.

This drama is worth to watch.
