In a single night, Dong Ting Yao's entire family was wiped out in a massacre. Right before her father died, he told her to seek refuge at her unseen fiance, Fang Yu Ze's home. At the same time, Fang Yu Ze's uncle, Fang Tian Yi, the governor and warlord of the territory, stormed through the doors of the house with his troops, leading Dong Ting Yao to believe that it was Fang Tian Yi who murdered her entire family. After a heated altercation, Fang Tian Yi took Dong Ting Yao back to his residence to hold her captive. Dong Ting Yao, however, escapes from her captivity and makes her way to Fang Yu Ze's home, only to discover that her position as fiancee has been supplanted by her half-sister, Dong Yan Er. Upon also realising that Fang Tian Yi is the head of Fang Yu Ze's household, she then passes herself off as a maidservant in the Fang household in order to try and take revenge on Fang Tian Yi, and at the same time, restore her rightful position as Fang Yu Ze's fiancee. Unfortunately, Fang Tian Yi has other ideas. (Source: MyDramaList) Edit Translation

Fifty shades of cliche.
This drama is a dark, melodramatic blast from the past. It is fifty shades of the worst outdated bodice ripper romance cliches imaginable. Dong Tingyao is the sole survivor of her family's massacre. She suspects warlord Fang Tianyi to be the culprit and finds herself a maid in his household. The villain is obvious from the beginning but sadly our voluptuous heroine has more guts than brains and finds herself in one dicey situation after another. Fang Tianyi is the kind of alpha male hero that struts around flaunting his magnificent chest while he uses very coercive methods to seduce Tingyao. Yes, exactly the kind of story that has all but been eviscerated since the advent of feminism and political correctness decades ago. And yes, I unabashedly sucked up every ridiculous, outrageously hot but ahem,I mean totally unacceptable moment of it!The bottom line is you won't enjoy this drama if you think about it. But the leads sizzling chemistry and Fang Tianyi's hot, searing gaze and the heavy lidded way he eyeballs Tingyao is enough to make me forget to breathe, much less think. Despite the cheesy lines and some iffy costumes, the acting, especially by Dai Gaozheng is mesmerising. The melodramatic plot allowed both actors to demonstrate their ability to convey the gamut of intense emotions - love, hate, forbidden desire, fear, frustration and passion, lots and lots of passion. For the first time I really understand why these kinds of characterisations used to be so hugely popular in the past. It is a strong testament to the actors chemistry and skills that can make me look past all these out of favour tropes. Honestly if anyone in real life tries to pull a Fang Tianyi on me, he'd get a kick in the nuts that causes permanent damage. But as a fantasy guilty pleasure of a short drama (10 minute episodes), I enjoyed this immensely.
The ending was terrible but then so were so, so many other parts. Nonetheless I am peeved about it enough to give it a 7.5 instead of an 8.0. Yes I am petty that way. Still, this is a fantastic way to indulge in the occasional smoking hot guilty pleasure.
Final comment: consider stopping at ep 29 for best viewing experience.
Has a Lakorn vibe (Thai Drama)..
If you are fun of watching Lakorn or Thai dramas then I think you might like this one cause it was somewhat the same vibes with it; it has revenge, male lead is domineering, there’s a slap and a mother that is evil hahahaha.. it’s fun to watch, it’s just that to sad it’s just a very short series like wanting for more after one episode...l have enjoyed this drama so much wishing it could have been longer...The costumes and the setting is nice not lame even the cinematography it’s just fine as well...
The male lead is damn hawttt hahaha , and Dawn is still pretty and cute, first time to watch her in republican drama...
all in all this drama is just great for me specially for a short series because l seldom watch short series cause l find them too simple or not trilling somewhat like that.._ but as for this short series its very different, l just really love it so much, its very entertaining..
_...one things for sure in this drama the male lead will not disappoint you hahaha especially when his shirtless hahaha... sorry got a little bit naughty here hahaha..
l recommend that you give this drama a shot if you haven't watched it, just don't listen to the comments good or bad, or to the ratings because whether a project is good or bad we netizens or watchers have a different say to it...so just go and dig in ...
