I rated a bit higher because of the sheer volume of steamy kisses in this one. I watched for the leads. Can't say it's my favorite plot, but worth the chemistry and kisses for me.

This ended up being a slice of life sweet love story for me. The FL has endured a broken childhood due to the accidental death of her older half sister. Her stepmom, who she believed her real mom until her sister died, didn't reject her but still loved her and considered her her daughter. It was the fl's real dad who rejected her and beat her so much. This was the first time watching the ML, Liu Hao Yuan, and I loved his 6'4” height. He had been in love with the FL for years. Their intimate scenes were sensual, natural and loving. There are some of the usual troupes, like the ex boyfriend who can't believe she would like someone else and that he can treat her anyway he wants and she'll still come back to him. Like the bullies who ultimately get punished by the ML. There wasn't much angst in this one. More a story of how the fl comes to gain confidence and love and how the ML supported and loved her. HE w/fl giving birth to a daughter.

I really liked this one a lot. It's not tension filled or overly exciting, but it is, at heart, a sweet love story with a couple of nice sensual moments for the leads.

Thank you!! I'm on a Cheng Cheng download spree, lol.

Downloading Gentle Wild now and cruising. These have all been axed. :( I think you must have a tremendous memory/high IQ to remember to come back to all these requests/comments! Thanks again for all your efforts!

You never cease to amaze!! Thank you so much!

I was reviewing Jwell's list of verticals with links she has posted to see if I saw any I might want to watch and came across this one. I watched because the opening was so eye popping when the FL licks the ML's adam's apple and throat. Then what he says to her is like, wow. That was kinda the highlight of the drama except for the kid. Too many unexplained plot holes but an ok watch.

I submitted a new person page for her on 8/5/2026. Not sure if or when it will be approved.

having watched so many verticals, I was put off by the sad romance tag and had hesitated to watch but i really like Wang Yi Lei. IMO, it's not really a sad romance. so, don't let that deter you.

It was stupid funny and had a few laugh til I cried scenes, like the little well and balloons. Loved the perky FL and her whole face lights up when she smiles. Liked how the ml ran from her until he didn't. Sorta lacklustre last third and wish the end had a stronger finish. HE w/fl sneaking back and forth between heaven and earth to see ml and their daughter. God of lightening looked good, lol and kept sending lightening to punish ml for being w/immortal FL. Liked his grandmother. Villains got karma. Wish kisses had been better. Chemistry more sweet than intense.

omg. water from the well! rotf she's so freaking cute! love her smile.
omg. blowing up balloons!

on a Wang Qian Hui kick but also like Chen Zheng Yang. I really liked most of it and rated higher because it was mostly a feel-good drama. I liked the FL's attitude when she walked away from her scum ex and that same positive attitude towards the ML. Loved his parents. wish there had been better and more kisses. Liked the smack down those who humiliated her received. Loved the playfulness of the MC. They made me smile. Not a huge fan of the end but still ok.

Tigger warning, both are drugged at the beginning and, even though there's part of the scene where she's kissing him back, she passes out but he continues to assault her.

I watched because I'm on a Wang Qian Hui viewing spree. Really liked her kick arse character here. Several cute moments among the craziness. Combination plot of several troupes. Best kisses at the beginning.
Tigger warning below.

Watched for Zhuo Hang. Liked seeing Wang Qian Hui even though her character was irritating at times. This one never explained why the ml really picked the fl. If he really cared for her for 5 years, he should have told her instead of letting her think she was a substitute for bitch #2. NO, he waits until the very end to let her know after she had already given up on him. I liked his mom, but why did it take her 5 years to recognize the fl? And why did the assistant tell her that she had her “good fortune” because of her face and show her a picture of herself? She didn't look like the 2fl who she thought was the ml's love. That all got old. Had some steamy kisses and a good bit of tension. HE w/fl finding out the ml loved her and was getting medicine for her mom and fl crashed the “wedding” of ml and 2fl.

Lower rating for me because it was irritating. (big surprise for a vertical, right?) Watched for Zhuo Hang. Some steamy kisses and decent tension.

Ye Hao Ran can smoke kisses. Sadly, I can't recall a single kiss in this drama. IMO, he's more like a support role in this one. :(

I watched for Yao Guan Yu. Mostly watched at 1.5 speed as it was a bit boring at times. Same old subplots about abusive family for fl's sister and she had to marry to get out of inlaw's house. ML is in love w/nominal sister who has been forced abroad by ml's grandfather. So naturally she's a scheming bitch. YGY can smoke some kisses but sadly that's not the case here. I got sick of the fl just accepting whatever people told her bad about ml instead of checking it out. Mostly that happened after she found out he had lied to her. Even if she didn't believe him, she should have been smart enough to challenge what others told her. Her sister was a bad example as well for staying with an abuser. HE for sister w/divorce, 2fl and 2ml served justice, and MC having a wedding.

I watched for YGY. Kinda disappointed overall.
