A story of passionate love and revenge
Since childhood, i have loved to watch shows where the chemistry between fl and ml is overwhelming.After a long time,i got to watch this series and guess what? The passionate feelings of the ml towards the fl is bounding me to rewatch the show again and again! The way Tianyi (ML) looks at Tingyao(FL) and kisses her make me want to do the same with someone i love haha...The exciting part is both ML and his nephew are obsessed with the FL which i feel kinda funny and interesting! 😁 I wish this series have a happy ending and I would love to see the lead actor and the lead actress to work together in more projects near future! I believe in Tinanyi and Tingyao lovebirds' supremacy! ♥️ 😘💕Was this review helpful to you?

I don't usually binge a show like this...but dayummmm
Is this a high score? Yes, yes it is...I'm a sucker for domineering macho men who are inherently good but a bad boy on the outside, so this was just something for me I guess.Was the FL stupid? Yes, she was. I was so annoyed by her idiocy but then again it works in this series but only because it wasn't a very long series. FL aside, the ML had is idiot moments as well. For the love of God just tell the truth 👀.
Would it have been a flop with a less attractive cast? Pro-bably. We must admit that they chose actors who are - let's be honest here- eye candy. I'm not complaining at all. I probably is the reason why I binged this series in one day. I was actually conflicted about my score because the actual story isn't that wow but the ML was just 🔥🔥🔥. I want to see him in a different role now...
Oh btw, I rewrote the ending in my head. The new recruit is just the ML in disguise. It's all an act for her safety...euh...of course.

Like a Practice Drama for new comers
I watched this after all the hype. Some people may like it but I fail to see anything of value in this drama. All the actors apart from the FL is amateurish and look like they’re yet to graduate from acting school. MLIs ok but still far from the normal actors we see on screen in terms of acting naturally.
Story wise there is not much to figure out. It’s like a story where you know exactly what happens because it has been used many times except that this is in fast forward mode.
Don’t waste your time even if you don’t know what to watch after a great drama. Be patient rather than wasting your 30 ep x 10 mins on this.
And I have heard comments that FL is voluptuous. I totally agree. Her body shape is non typical of any C drama actress … this is a plus for diversity. The only plus of this drama.

A Risqué Story of Survival and Love
In only moments, Ting Yao's family is massacred and she arrives only moments too late. Her father's dying words were to seek asylum at the Governor's house where she will find safety with her arranged betrothal. Ting Yao's only met her betrothed once, when they were both children. Only for Fang Tian Yi, the warlord and govenor of the territory, to come stampeding through the doors with his troops and believe her the one who slaughtered her entire family. Now captive to Fang Tian Yi, she manages to escape and make her way to the Governor's house only to come to the realization that her maid has taken her place as the fiancé. In a cruelhearted ruse, Ting Yao's once maidservant offers her asylum only if she becomes her maid. Ting Yao accepts, hoping to work the situation to her benefit and to stay safe until she can acquire her rightful place as the Mistress of the house.Fast paced, powerful, sexy, and risqué -- this was a wonderful romp of some tropes many others prefer to leave alone. A cold aggressive man lead with secrets of his own. Another man who appears to be the polar opposite, warm-hearted, kind, and soft-spoken. And a woman who's cunning and recognizes that now is the time to lay low and play her cards right. But soon, she will make her way to thriving instead of just surviving. No happily ever after here, so viewer beware!

DON'T COME INTO THIS SHOW EXPECTING GREATNESS
This Chinese drama is mindless fun so I would advise you when watching this show please do not watch it expecting a amazing story telling and top tier acting it's full of cliches and that's what makes it fun, the first episode had me hooked and the two leads have immaculate chemistry, my only issue I guess would be the ending up other then that this is a good series if you want mindless fun, also the male lead is fine AF ( and I don't mean to sound like a broken clock but he and the female lead's chemistry is absolutely worth the watch if nothing else ). I will definitely be rewatching this drama.Was this review helpful to you?

FIRST SHORT DRAMA I'VE WATCHED AND GLUED TO IT
Good acting and good story lineBoth FL and ML are good actors. I have seen many of FL dramas mostly her as the main lead. This is the first time I watch ML and concurrently watching him on "Warm Time With You" . He is amazing there too! I have not watched who rules the world but am going to give it go since Dai Gao Zheng is in it!
Love how it is short and sweet and no unnecessary plots of distractions. So there is no boring scenes. It is frustrating though because it is short. Will watch again when the drama is complete.
It is worth your time... watch it!

Your fiancé is a mf? No worries get with his uncle!
Now let's be honest, over all the drama is a low budget drama, you can tell cause the actors be wearing the same clothes basically every episode. BUT let's me tell you something! DAI GAO ZHENG was a blessing to the eye. I'm not fond of short dramas and for the first time in my 15 years experience with dramas this is the first time i watch a short drama. The plot was not bad, had great potential if it was a full length drama. The music was amazinggg. Acting was acceptable but in my opinion the Main lead and the second main lead had great expressions, good acting, emotions in the right place. The second ml aka the villain was Soo good that when ever i see his face i get chills. He was good. But dai gao Zheng smoky looks were the winning card.Was this review helpful to you?

This is the best Republican Chinese genre that I've watched. The music/ osts really goes smoothly well with the drama. The actors and actresses knows how to act their role excellently. I was hoping for Feng Tianyi to survive in the end, didn't expect that he'd die. Although he died, I wasn't expecting Tingyao to be just like Feng Tianyi. It would be better if they atleast live together happily and rule to government, they didn't even had a child or get married at least. It's such a pessimistic and a depressing story, but I still love it. For those who like Chinese Republican pessimistic genre, this would be perfect for you, ready your tissues beside you. :( (: Was this review helpful to you?

Meh…
Using my personal rating system of "loved," "liked," "meh," & "nah," this is a ”meh”.What I liked:
Despite the low budget, they did a decent job of settings and costuming; this was one of the few Republican-era dramas where I felt the costume designer did an okay job of historical accuracy with the Western clothing. They did not try to do things with their low budget that they couldn’t and kept to only three or four sets. I liked that though our FL seemed silly and naïve at first, she actually had a bit of steel running underneath, and it developed over the series. As shallow as this is, I also liked how nice both MLs looked. 😊 I hope to see both of them in more productions. Dai Gao Zheng did a good job of portraying a bad boy with a heart of gold and Vincent Wei did a good job of playing the opposite.
What I did not like so much:
There were some simple things that even a low-budget drama could have done better. For example, the way Fang Tian Yi’s subordinate handled his firearm, he would have accidentally shot himself and others a long time ago (e.g. reholster your gun before you carry your drunk or injured master around!). The scene when the ML shoots the guilty men could have been done better—I just don’t see that many people going so quietly and calmly to their death. I also would have liked to have had a better idea of how much time passed. For example, they implied that the FL had been the maid for the ML for quite some time, but they never give you an idea of how much time really had passed. I would have liked to have seen more of their interactions during that time. I know it was a mini-drama so a lot of detail just isn’t given, but it would have helped. I was not mad at the ending, either. I would have been fine with a happy ending, but I wasn’t mad at the sad one—which is strange since I usually prefer happy endings. I do not think the sad ending was necessary, but I liked that the FL took over the ML’s role as governor. I did not like how Granny was always happy to have a servant beaten to death but then we’re supposed to see her as a sympathetic character at the end. No thanks.
Content notification: There is assault. Its not shown beyond enough to give you an idea of what happened, but it still happens.
I did not find this drama to be a waste of time, but I don’t think I’ll watch it again.
