Title: 她养的纨绔丈夫超乖 | Her playboy husband is super obedient. ML: 夏志成 | Xia Zhi Cheng FL: 张蓝月 | Zhang Lan Xin
He turns up to spoil the wedding as a prank, she is reborn and forces him to marry her instead. He sulks in a fluffy jumper whilst obviously loving being brat tamed.
Title: "Eat a Gummy Candy" | 吃颗软糖 ML: Shao Wei | 邵巍 FL: Lin Junyi | 林君怡 Released: 16.04.2026.
ChrisC said "2 unhinged leads that bounce off each other perfectly and heal each other" and I agree. This was sweet and also showed an improved treatment of MH than usual VSD.
Title: "Did President Pei Date the Moon Today?" | 今天裴总和月亮谈恋爱了吗 ML: Zhang Chi | 张翅 FL: Li Keyi | 李柯以
He thinks he is hiring a canary, she thinks she is working as a live-in nanny, together they run through the Bamboo Forest of Ambushes hunting chickens. Two such pretty, good actors , enjoyable quality fun, just kisses were a bit why bother.
Title:"A Woman Disguised as a Man Gets Favored by the Prince and Wants to Make Me a Consort " | 女扮男装被千岁爷相中了，要给我封妃第二季 aka Masquerade Prince ML: Liu Run Ming | 刘润铭 FL: Cai Cai Yun | 彩彩云 (Wang Yun Yun | 王云云) Slightly dark , bit off comedy. Assassin transmigrates into Yun Mo, a daughter of a branch of the Yun Family whose mother raised her as a boy from birth to protect their standing (because her husband died when she was pregnant). A ruthless Prince takes "him" as a not consort/ not not consort seemingly because he was bored and wanted to torture him, but finds him interesting enough to keep alive. 3 seasons so far- watched all 3. s2 subs made bonkers plot even more incomprehensible. Semi farce of what happens when 2 sociopaths entangle.
Awakened Vow on IQIYI- can't find an MDl page for it yet Dir: Ming HuiSeng ML: Wang Xinzheng FL: Zhong Xiaoqi
Contract marriage to man in coma who she rapes at the request of his mother. He awakens and is an abusive, controlling p.o.s, starving her for 3 days because she touched a photo. He rapes her and forces her in other heinous ways. I kept watching because the acting was decent and I was thinking this would be a rise from the ashes or arc of redemption kinda deal any minute now. But it never improved, just pulling a HE out of its arse. Feels like a trope cocktail lite. Even if someone was into watching a rapey couple kinda torture each other, it doesn't fully commit to the red flagness either or have her be properly miserable so I guess everyone will be disappointed.
Title:"37.2 Degrees Hot Bite Marks" | 37度2炙热咬痕 ML: Zhang Ji Jun | 张集骏 FL: Sun Qian Xun | 孙芊浔
Her ONS is her deskmate who was convinced by the temp rise on his fitbit to wait for her for 10yrs then demand she take responsibility and marry him. His make up was fab. Since her eejit father wants her to marry a cheating scumbag she agrees. Random serious shit goes down but they are cute and amusing together.
I was catfished by the insomnia cure trope- big disappointment. Frustrating throughout; both misunderstandings and FL character & decisions. Only the ML grows at all, FL tongue tied and spirals all by herself.
《夫人她略懂些拳脚》The Lady Has Some Knowledge of Martial Arts | ML: Wen ZhiCheng FL: Zhai XinRan
Quietly badass FL uses arranged marriage to amusingly hammy, wriggly playboy as cover for investigating foster father's murder: in-laws adore her and the antagonists are brushed off like flies. Fun!!!
I watched this materialistic show of one upmanship to the end just because Merxat was kinda sparkly and the main couple were a pretty good comedic duo- but it was a chore to continue to suspend my disbelief that no-one even thinks to look stuff up on their phones, not even before engaging in easily backfire-able attempts at public humiliation.
If there had been more romance then maybe the materialism would have landed better for me but her 5 minutes of unconvinced agreement to a r/s didn't make her wide eyed adoration at him after his identity was confirmed look any better than the behaviour of her other family hypocrites . I guess the comedy was - parents got all their wildest dreams come true in impossible ways and still could barely stop abusing the kids? This is how far you'd have to go to silence the criticisms and those people would still punish you anyway?
There were colourist remarks made to denigrate people - it's one thing coming out of the mouth of a villain as further proof of their villainy but to come out of the mouth of a lead and be shown to successfully score points in this day and age is disgusting . I hate most when this stuff tries to slide in under the radar of "just a comedy".
I also found it quite misogynistic - sure one could argue that the reason most of the show is women attacking women over their r/s to men is because this is a send-up of the kinds of undercurrents and pressures young people face from their elders at family gatherings hence the plausible premise of the contract.
But do male elders never exert these pressures or make comments about aging women losing value as incubators and eyecandy for men? Not even one toxic uncle amidst all the toxic aunties cos they only matched up with absent saints??
The men don't commit the emotional violence, only saving the situation through their status & wealth or calm sharing of knowledge. The one man who isn't doing this well enough (actually he tries but his offer lacks credibility)- well it's the women who attack or get slapped around for his faults. He only gets punished, and not by the ones most wronged nor in kind, when he makes another man angry. In the case of a marriage arrangement: the man arranging it is either neutral or a hero and the woman arranging it is a controlling antagonist. It got really old.
Title: "After Swapping Bride with His Sister, the Khampa Man Actually Loves Her" | 和妹妹换亲后，康巴汉子真香了
ML: Wang Zi Lin | 王子林 FL: Yang Yu Meng | 杨雨萌 The sisters reborn swap their fates trope but set in the grasslands with a To The Wonder vibe. One ML overacts as bratty 5yo, other ML just wanders around slightly delulu, so setting was more charming than romances. I hope there is s2 where we meet 3rd brother.
