I had to drop it because the story is absolute garbage
Like many, after watching Maid's revenge, I was very excited about this drama. The story is the worst story I have ever seen in a Chinese drama so far (and I have watched many). I will tell you some plot holes so big that if they were on the ground, they would become massive sink holes devouring entire skyscrapers. Whoever approved of this script was out of their mind.
SPOILERS AHEAD
1. Since Lin Xin Tong is a rich heiress, why does she continue to live in the same house as her murderous fiance and toxic ex friend after the ..10 times they openly tried to kill her? The plot could have made so much more sense if she went to stay with Qin Mo Yao or at least to a hotel, but no, she could sleep peacefully in her bed with 2 murderers (who also killed her father) next door.
2. Qin Mo Yao is not a man in love. He is a liar and stalker who then becomes obsessed with her and treats her as if she is stupid and mentally incapable of making even the most basic decisions. When Lin Xin Tong's fiance gives their names to a gang to kill them, Qin Mo Yao manages to ''pass their 3 trials'' that no one ever survived (we don't see how and have no idea what those trials are) and the death contract is dropped. Completely unrealistic and nonsensical.
3. Lin Xin Tong is probably one of the most annoying female characters ever, she alternates between confessing her love to Qin Mo Yao, then finding something he did and leaving him, then running to his house the minute she finds out he has some (minor) injury and behaves like a mentally unstable borderline person and not as someone who is genuinely in love in a healthy way. Whoever wrote this hot mess clearly does not know how people in love behave.
4. There is a lot of sexual harassment from Lin Xin Tong 's part (removing Qin Mo Yao's clothes while he is drunk and unconscious, forcing him to drink, demanding to touch his naked body when she was blind) and if a man did any of those things to a woman who is employed under him the show would have been cancelled. Very toxic and promotes problematic and sexually abusive behaviors that shouldn't be normalized.
The straw that broke the proverbial camel's back: the last 3 episodes I watched were an incoherent rambling about companies, shares and stocks written by someone who has no idea about any of these things. I almost died out of boredom and had to drop the show to save my sanity.
Rewatch value: zero. Just rewatch Maid's revenge instead.
