This drama gives closure and explanations to everything (though some in the last episode seem unnecessarily complicated). It really emulates the storyline of FL and ML's love of writing mystery book and providing ample thought process. They make it seem like the FL has written this drama as her book in the future.

The drama can be divided into sections. Ep1-13 feels like a complete season, we'll title it "Qiu Yan Escapes Marriage". This is about FL's problems that she needs to get over herself. Ep 14-28 could be titled "The Real Charade", about her family problems. Ep 29-34 "The Lies Unravel" is about the world's problems/the bigger picture/the greater good. I love that the drama builds her up to handle bigger problems and shows her growth. The middle section can seem a bit slow, but it does make sense that it would take longer to solve.

I love the character presentations. No one is perfect, everyone does something wrong or unforgiveable. Many times people do not forgive, and just say "this is not as important to me anymore" and allow themselves to move on. I think this is very accurate to real life. You may hate and spit someone, but if you are happy as yourself and where you are now, there is less reason to dwell on that hate and spit for another person. Each character goes through their own process of letting go of something, from the FL letting go of her resentment towards her birth mother's preferential treatment for her brother, to FL's sister's resentment of FL always hogging the spotlight. There are plenty of times of letting go for the greater good. And even if you scheme, you should try to not harm others in the process.

This is a great drama about persevering through hardship and that if you are happy with the version of yourself, you will continue to grow and help those around you.

Aesthetics wise, I love the clothing and the styling. The music is soft and simple.
