For Revenge plot was okay but the romance was too weak.

I watched this drama in last December and the drama was taken down so fast on YT. Glad i have mood to write the review now.

The reborn plot was actually engaging but the romance between Chen Minghao and Lu Lulu is rather sudden and their chemistry are too weak.

After being reborn, FL learns about her destiny and fights against a time-traveling woman (SFL), scumbag ex husband (SML), and concubine (2SFL) to break free from the control of fate. In the end, she helps the ML secure his throne.
First scene focus on domestic intrigue, the middle on court politics, and the later on palace intrigue.

However, the details are not explained very well. In the early domestic intrigue, FL uses many methods, while SFL is like a cockroach, constantly causing trouble to FL.

ML's initial possessiveness after sleeping with the FL is unclear, as he suddenly falls in love without any foreshadowing or backstory everything is just happen suddenly. ML appearance is not too many unlike the antagonists, it feels he is just guest star in this drama.

Still decent to watch if you ignore romance aspect and focused on revenge plot.

Still unnatural drama for advertisement

Aside from the obvious product placement, the entire series is just a generic short drama. FL is wrongly convicted and tortured in a mental hospital, escapes, and uses ML's influence to seek revenge. There's constant slapping, and the ML only appears after the FL has been tortured enough.

Chemistry between Wang Kaimu and Zhang Chuxuan still sufficient but not too overflowing. Feels this drama didn't focus on romance but revenge. Zhang Chuxuan plays the crazy FL smooth and Wang Kaimu styling in this drama is too messy.

Some scenes are ridiculously absurd, like when the FL is pushed into the water by a antagonist to drown, but the water only reaches her knees. Plot in this drama is too lazy lacking effort.

After watch this drama did i want to use the website? absolutely nope ❤︎

Satisfying Reborn Drama

I watched Lu Lulu drama and found this second collaboration with Liu Ning. I liked their first collaboration but there is no page in MDL.

In her previous life, FL's father was falsely accused of treason by her new husband (SML) and her adopted sister (SFL), and her entire family was executed. FL and the SML died together. Four years later, the ML appeared and promised to help her seek justice.

FL is reborn on the day SML proposes marriage. SML is also reborn, and the proposal turns into a broken engagement. SML asks to marry the SFL. FL's parents disagree, and FL exposes the affair between the SML and SFL letting her parents see the SML's true colors and severing ties with him.

ML is a time traveler who falls in love with the FL at first sight. Initially, he doesn't want to discuss marriage due to his own ambitions, but he gradually wavers as he spends time with her.

The plot flows smoothly and the pacing is fast. Lu Lulu is absolutely gorgeous in ancient costume. Liu Ning is really for ancient drama.

Decent watch

I remember watching this because of excessive advertisement on social media last year.

Plot is about ML and FL were deeply in love. An accident (FL's younger brother and ML's sister lost their lives) caused the ML to be seriously injured while protecting FL. FL then abandoned him and disappeared for five years. Five years later, she returned to China and reunited with ML. After experiencing a series of emotional changes, the lovers finally got back together.

Although I knew it would get HE, I still loved watching the early struggles. The production quality is excellent, and the costumes are beautiful. The chemistry between Yu Long and Song Yujia are decent to see because it scream mature couple and it was more watchable than Yulong with Yang Mie Mie on their drama.

I've seen Shitong in new light

I watch this because of Wang Yiran but i had doubt with Shi Tong and after seeing this drama, i see Shi Tong in new light.

Rebirth + pseudo-incestuous relationship setting is novel, creating a strong sense of taboo. The tug-of-war between the straightforward FL and the awkward ML is incredibly engaging.

Wang Yiran's acting especially his crying scene is very natural. Shi Tong has improved a lot in this drama. after being reborn, she completely fights her step mother and stepsister, and She directly pursues the ML. The Chemistry between Wang Yiran adn Shi Tong are so natural even their kiss scene looks so good but not in sensual way.

Enjoy this separation at birth mother and child drama.

I was on Song Yujia marathon drama last year and found Cheng Cheng. He may not most handsome actor but his acting skill are quite good compared to another handsome actor.

It's a very cliché story: FL slept with someone years ago and had a child, but for some reason, the child was raised by the ML, and the FL thought the child was dead.

ML was quite ex-convict who actually decent guy. FL was not saint she was tortured by her mother and cut ties with her family after she know they contributed to kidnapping her child .Love how Song Yujia got bond with the child making the drama is slightly higher than other same theme drama.

Villain is too stereotypical. SFL went on one blind date with the ML, doesn't even know what he does, yet she's smitten by ML.

Fast-paced pseudo uncle-niece relationship.

I remember i watched this after i am dropping Wang Hao Zhen-Yu Yin drama with same plot. I like Xie Yu Wang and Zhang Chuxuan. I like the fast pace from the story so it was big advantage from this drama. The dubious consent are in here so people wont enjoy this romance. I like the chemistry between the leads. Liang Siwei in his supporting role era are quite fine since most of his role didn't do antagonist.

The ending was quite feel rushed and it was being dragged in the middle since they decide to change the route from ordinary uncle-niece relation to espionage story which is kind of chaotic.

Only recommended if you want some chaotic drama.

Warning if you hate mild violence, please turn away.

I actually watch this when i found Yu Peishan's Shen Mubai first and realized his other cast is Chai Huixin.

The story is actually decent, and the acting of the Yu Peishan and Chai Huixin and the rest of the cast is acceptable. It avoids the typical clichéd banter and excessive physical altercations found in bad dramas. If you want to see romance please turn away and if you can stand mild violence, run!

Plot is about FL who already got her vision back from being blind and want to inform her husband aka ML but it turns ML was having affair with mistress and want to kill FL for her property and inherence.

I love how FL handled the situation, and the Ladies support in the end. Overall, this show is a good way to pass the time during leisure time.

Not that great drama to rewatch.

I watch this on two years ago because of Wang Xiaoyi back then. Huang Wenbo has filmed this same plot drama was filmed twice. The other one was Han Jiahui (I dont know if i want to watch that drama). Both of leads acting are...average.

This wasn't originally a good drama, but it's definitely not a tragic one either. FL was bullied in the early stages of her secret marriage, and even after it was discovered she was the boss's woman, she was still bullied. After the grandmother intervened, the FL never suffered any losses. ML has a great character; his first action was a paternity test. Just based on the FL's statement, it's far superior to most dramas of the same period.

I don't understand why ML didn't fire FL colleague who spread misinformation and harm FL. It so frustrating.

Maybe hardcore fans from Wang Xiao Yi and Huang Wen Bo could watch this. I wont rewatch this again.

Not particularly great

I was eager to watch since i want to watch A Shang drama with Chen Tian Xiang and left slightly sour on my mind.

Interactions between leads are minimal, and the romance isn't particularly sweet. The costumes and props are adequate but not outstanding.

The plot twists are weak;. The villains are the same few throughout, and they're always there. The plot lacks logic, focusing on a single, easily predictable villain. FL is overpowered throughout, but they never truly eliminate the villains until the very end. In the end, the villains are dealt with by themselves, resolving issues that were unresolved. ML in here is just like background character.

Only recommended to A Shang fans.

Melodramatic drama that i enjoy.

I watch this last year and decided to rewatch to take this opportunity to share my personal opinions.

This drama combines elements of arranged marriage, terminal illness, and power struggles within a wealthy family, weaving a captivating love story from initial suspicion to growing concern, to initial attraction, and finally, a love that runs deep.

FL effort to being traditional wife is not well-received by ML. In ML's memory, she is dull, lifeless, and resembles a woman from the old era. Later, FL hands him divorce papers, and the previously dull woman suddenly comes alive.

ML seems to realize there's a reason for FL departure, but he will respect her choice and secretly investigate to try and win her back. He calmly cooperates with FL , while secretly doing what he believes is the most reckless and worthwhile thing: silently using his own bone marrow to save her. He felt incredibly happy that his blood could flow into the FL's. When they were together, their outward appearance seemed calm, but there was an underlying tension.

The actors are natural and uninhibited. What impressed me most was the tender kiss between the FL and the ML in bed after the FL learned that ML had donated bone marrow to her.

Wished for Guo Yuxin and Wang Kaimu second collaboration and worth to watch.

No matter what people said, i always love the ending.

I watched this when i am on Huang Yunyun binge festival and i quite enjoy this drama.

FL in this drama has the most difficult role to take down in any short drama I've ever seen, bar none. Initially, she has to hide her arranged marriage from her husband (SML) while simultaneously developing feelings for the male lead, all while dealing with the power struggles of the SML's savior and his "white moonlight" (idealized love interest). Later, she has to enter the palace and fight against the male lead's harem. ML is a cold-blooded, ruthless emperor with a deceased "white moonlight," who doesn't even kiss anyone. FL meticulously plans and slowly wins the MLs heart, eliminating her rivals one by one. Her schemes are fresh and unconventional, with unexpected processes and outcomes that are refreshing. Huang Yunyun and Wang Yuwei are quite match by looks and their chemistry were decent to watch.

Drama's ending was perfectly adapted, avoiding many common pitfalls of short dramas and i always think the ending was too good to be true.

Assertive alpha female X Manipulative green tea male

I was trying to remember other version of Wang Nan- Lu Lulu drama and it was Shen Haonan-Wen Moyan version which MDL didn't have the page.

Plot is about FL and her scumbag husband was to get married. On their wedding day, the husband's personality completely changes drastically and he disappears. FL single-handedly supports the company. Four years later, she reports her husband's death, finally forcing him to reappear. She finally gets her wish and divorces the seemingly perfect but ultimately rotten marriage (The scene was so iconic)

FL best friend, celebrates the occasion at a karaoke bar by having her brother-ML, who secretly loves the female lead, pretend to be a male model to advance his career.

To appease FL grandmother, FL has a one-night stand with the ML, and initially falls for him. However, due to his attentiveness and gentleness, she gradually develops feelings for him. The two signed a sugar daddy/sugar baby agreement.

Lu Lulu herself has a very strong and assertive aura, perfectly suited for this domineering female CEO role. The emotional scenes are also very heart-wrenching; she's independent on the outside but soft on the inside. Wang Nan is quite good as Green Tea Male lead and it feels better than Shen Haonan one.

Recommended to watch.

Though it was angst drama but turn out to be sweet drama

I was thought this drama is full of angst since i was thought it was about pseudo-incest but I was surprised it was actually super sweet short drama with plot twists. The Chemistry between Duan Meiyang and Peng Yao are too sweet.

ML is initially indifferent to the FL since he thought her mother was the reason his mother died. FL is even more impressive. She earns her tuition through her own efforts, making her an economically independent and talented young woman and she was the one who disagree with her mother marriage to ML father.

Despite FL 's coldness towards FL, the two gradually realize their importance to each other through their interactions. After many twists and turns, they finally come together, overcoming numerous misunderstandings and difficulties, and found FL real family.

I have to recommend this drama! The actors' performances are absolutely amazing and the ending was satisfying.
