Everyone is villain, No One is innocent

I watched this when this drama was still on Youtube last year and i realized this drama was taken down. I tried to review this.

The plot is about all of leads is kidnapped and forced to reveal their stories with Bai Fangwen. Initially, everyone conceals their true intentions, lying and embellishing their own lives, portraying Bai Fangwen as a complete fraud. However, they are quickly punished and forced to reveal the truth to survive. It turns out that none of them are entirely innocent; each has their own tragic and unbearable past. Almost everyone is a villain. No one is innocent, including Bai Fangwen. And all their events can be connected around Bai Fangwen.

Twists and turns abound, leaving the truth unknown until the very last moment. The pacing is tight, and the script is complete, but the last few episodes felt rushed, perhaps due to poor editing or cuts.

The entire cast delivered outstanding performances, especially Zhu Moyan, whose nuanced and layered acting, with her subtle expressions, perfectly captured the essence of a mad and wicked woman. This role could definitely be Zhu Moyan's signature role!

Wang Yiran's character gave me goosebumps. His performance was superb. I hope Wang Yiran can take on more groundbreaking roles like this in the future.

The best gender reverse revenge.

I watched this on Dramabox 2 years ago because i quite like Tian Yu and Ye Ting and this time Tian Yu is being scumbag wife while Ye Ting was the victim want to revenge for her wife affair.

Firstly, the scriptwriters did a great job with the plot, character development, and dialogue. ML starts plotting after discovering his wife aka FL's infidelity, only closing in when he's confident of victory. He gradually lures FL into the trap, making him seem like a self-made CEO. FLs acting is also excellent; she appears innocent even after being caught cheating, turning the tables on her husband. ML also do the revenge not with first hand which make sound too perfect for revenge.

Secondly, there are a few minor plot holes. The adulterer is falsely accused of burglary and sentenced too quickly. Although they deleted the call records, that only means they're not on the phone; the telecommunications company certainly has them, proving the wife and adulterer knew each other.

I quite like the ending since they will give some suspense feeling. Recommended to Watch.

How Zhao Zhendong not laugh while saying those cheesy pick up line?

I watched this last year, and it still best Ximen Lichen story despite how cheesy ML seduce FL. Both actors brought their characters to life; Han Jiahui and Zhao Zhendong are simply a match made in heaven for Jiang Wanzhi and Ximen Lichen.

The plot is about ML and FL had a secret relationship for three months before FL was forced to break up with the ML by ML family. Three years later, they meet again, and FL has become the fiancée of the ML's nephew. FL and the ML's nephew are in a marriage of convenience, and the male lead's nephew is having an affair with another woman.

If you're watching this as a sweet romance drama, the dialogue is a bit cheesy. Zhao Zhendong's lines is make me giddy (in good and bad way). I quite like Han Jiahui acting since few version of Jiang Wanzhi seems to meek and always seeking for help.

Personally not a fans of this adaptation but for the best adaptation, this one seems superior.

For revenge drama it's quite bland

I watched this drama last year because of Zhao Xixi. Beside the plot twists about FL's father story, it was quite flat.

The script isn't very engaging. Although it's a female-centric revenge story, it feels somewhat flat and lacks tension, wasting the good looks and acting skills of the leads. The romance between Zhao Xixi and Wang Yilei still underdeveloped and i feel this dram could give more romantic moment for them since they have chemistry.

The biggest plot hole in this drama if ML is so capable, why didn't he find out when SFL killed the FL?

Still watchable though.

Misunderstand could last forever.

The premise is very common since its Prince of Beijing adaptation: ML has secretly loved FL for years and pretends to be a kept man for love. However, after his true identity is discovered FL keeps misunderstanding that he has another woman he loves. This misunderstanding lasts for 95% duration of the drama.

ML doesn't know how to speak clearly while FL doesn't even bother to ask him clearly. The misunderstanding could last forever in this drama. But for this version Lu Huan Yu and Song Yujia had more passionate kissing scenes.

Only watchable for hardcore fans of the actors.

You can watch this if you want to get simple plot.

I watched this on March 2025 (searching my Youtube history while making my brief review) and the plot is quite ordinary. FL goes down the mountain to marry the male lead to cure his illness. They marry first and fall in love later, eventually ML is cured and they get together.

This is clichéd story with a few lines and a bit of banter, the cast is very attractive—Li Zijie and Zhang Jinyi aquite have chemistry despite there is minimum romantic moment. Both the leads quite have natural acting. It would be even better if there were more romantic scenes between the leads.

Supporting characters are quite funny and they are not doing much slapstick which is great even though the villains always looking down at FL since she comes from rural area.

You can watch this if you didn't look for plot driven drama and it was quite entertaining.

Decent Advertisement drama.

I want to watch this drama last year but there is no proper subs until i found the savior Jwells (Thank You for your hard work).

The duration is short (less than 30 minutes) so you can watch when you're on break time.

The plot is about ML who was former factory worker wants to start his noodle shop business with FL. The villain was thug SML who want to destroy ML business and doing black campaign for making his shop getting more customer. But ML noodles was more delicious. SML create bet for ML for making noodle competition. The classic trop.

This drama was down-to-earth drama so the pace was fast. Shu Tong delivers simple, honest, and down-to-earth ML while Zhang Chu Xuan nailed as his feisty wife. The couple balance is like yin yang. Wished they could collaborate in longer drama.

Worth to Watch.

Don't watch this with your brain on.

I remember when this drama was come out on the first time everyone was hyping it but i didn't feel the same since the plot was quite generic and Yu Jialin acting was not my cup of tea.

It's a revenge drama riddled with plot holes and lacking in logic; you can't watch it with your brain. The makeup and styling are okay, the costumes and props are average. Wang Haozhen only has two outfits throughout the entire series, but he still looks quite handsome. FL is also quite pretty. It's not a romance drama, so there's not much interaction, and there's no sense of chemistry between the leads even the hot kisses was not helping it.

This creates an interesting cliché: how the ML manages to distinguish between the two women (actually the same person) and the fake one, constantly reflecting on his own actions and wondering why the people around him seem different.

Maybe you need to empty your brain to enjoy this drama. I cannot enjoy this drama due my brain is overload with work related.

Not too popular, but good.

I watch this since I got free trial iQiyi and this drama was on the recommendation page and it was suspense romance which is rare for chinese short drama.

FL is a mortician, and the ML is a body brought in for burial after a car accident. Through a series of coincidences, they develop a love story that transcends life and death, a classic bickering romance.

Zhao Fei's hime-cut hairstyle is stunning, and her inherent mysterious aura perfectly suits the role. The scene where she controls the ML is incredibly cool. ML's initial soul form, controlled by the FL but invisible to others, is practically invincible. I quite like ML's mother isn't blindly trusting or hostile towards the FL. She initially suspects her, but gradually trusts her and takes good care of her. We need more mothers like this—positive characters with intelligence.

ML claims to be corrupted by FL, but he's secretly thrilled. The confession was also unique; ML confessed with a mix of words and true feelings, yet the actors' performances were incredibly natural, especially Zhao Fei whose expressions and demeanor were perfectly captured.

It is still unclear about FL family tragedy reason, i wish they give 3-5 episode for that.

Still decent to watch.

Plot was undercooked and chemistry was rare despite good kissing scene.

Bai Yan and Zhang Yuntao acting skills and looks are all pretty good and their kissing were good even the chemistry didn't feel that good, but the plot almost gave me neck stiff, ML mistakes his benefactor for someone else. FL want to divorce. After divorce FL unconsciously involved in ML business while ML, after the divorce, slowly begins to have feelings for the FL due to a series of events. The going back together trop in this drama feel are not enough for me. The villains are quite old-style annoying nutcase. Not satisfy with ending.

Watchable for only fans.

The Plot *Face Palm*

I looked this on Tiktok and Know this is from Yu Peishan. He always play as scumbag husband. I personally i like Ma Qian Qian appearance but the female lead is annoying damsel in distress pretending to be strong. Male Lead is far beyond help since writer has too drunk to write this nonsense.

Plot is about ML who got his mistress pregnant and FL who gives up her career for ML until she knows his husband affair and got miscarriage while she got difficult conceiving without ML knowing-only to know very late.

There is no chemistry between Ma Qian Qian and Male Leads.

Avoid this drama at cost.

This is how should create dynamic duo, short drama director!

I barely found decent double male lead with no romance drama (most of them are basically for the fandom). Shen Haonan and Cai Xinyang have proof they are the dynamic duo who has best bromance among the same theme drama. The star of this drama are Cai Xinyang since i captivated by his action scene and stylish attire. Shen Haonan still did his best and not making me disappointed since most of his 2025 drama lacks chemistry for his other leading role and i think he do better in any theme other than romance.

The ending is not clear if they want to create OE or want to make season 2.

Recommended to watch.

Endless torturous drama

Okay this is my first drama that i watched when i know short drama. I quite didn't like Yuyin acting in here but the most despised one was the ML . Bai Fang Wen is good at playing scumbag ML He obsessed over FL and got affair with SFL so FL wants to leaves him but he torture her physically. I quite like Chai Huixin and Liang Siwei performance in here so i tried to torture my self by watching this and this drama has no sweet moment.

I dropped this drama after i see no character redemption nor development between the lead; ML was quite most toxic person while FL was the stupid damsel in distress character cannot do anything at all.
