She was the granddaughter of the Prime Minister. Her family was involved in a dispute over the throne and was convicted. She and her newlywed husband both died on the way to exile. She was reincarnated with her memories and became Chen Xianglan, a maid in the Lin family, a prominent family in Jiangnan. In this life, Xianglan has four peach blossoms: one she cannot have, one she does not want, one withered before it bloomed... and one... oh, it is so worrying... This is a story about a little maid who wants to leave her house but cannot.
one thing i absolutely detest about this drama is that they included ye shijie as a love interest. i'd have preferred if he was simply a good friend and helper to JL/XFF. is platonic love not a thing anymore?
i hate to say this but wanning's face when she received shen yurong's flower made me feel so bad for her. yes, she is the princess who already has everything, yet you can see the shock and subtle happiness on her face when she received that gift. wanning, have you ever received sincere love in your life? 😭
There were several “I hate WJY and she is ugly” reviews.
yes, physical appearance and presence definitely plays a role in creating chemistry between age-gap couples. that must be why i also feel like xu kai lacks chemistry with older actresses like yang zi in best choice ever and zhou dongyu in ancient love poetry. he has more of a youthful babyface (lets hope i dont get jumped on for saying this too haha)
There were several “I hate WJY and she is ugly” reviews.
i am the same! i usually end up disliking couples with an age gap, but wang xingyue and wu jinyan created so much chemistry i love itt. tells you a lot about how wonderful their acting is
so sad to see her career go downhill because of tax evasion :( it breaks my heart everytime i see cheng yi's popularity increase everyday, while yuan bingyan stays in the dark. if only she didn't get into this controversy, she could've achieved the same success as him too 😭
The death of tong was heartbreaking. I cried and couldn't stop. They could have just let her leave town, not killed…
leaving town would be a much better option but i think it wouldn't make sense for her to just up and leave when she's been with JL/XFF for a very long time and is her maid after all
as salty as we may be, it's not surprising considering that killing off the lead's sidekick/best friend occurs way too frequently in movies. unfortunately our tong'er had to be a victim of this trope 😭
when tong'er told JL/XFF about what she'll do after it ends, i thought, yeah this girl is gonna die lmao. completely forgot that this is the ep she dies in fr
i couldn't stop crying in the last scene where JL/XFF was trying to hold in her composure, until she remembered their moments and started wailing and calling out for her. so heartbreaking 💔 i'm happy the drama showed that because i've seen way too many dramas where the leads treat the side character's death like nothing - just a tear or sad face then quickly move on.
then, seeing jiang yuanbai's face when JL/XFF pretended(?) to be possessed by yue was so sad. and i hate to admit this lol but i also felt a LITTLE bit sad when ji shuran's toxic loverboy died. even villains have feelings.

她是首辅的孙女，家族卷入夺嫡风波获罪，与新婚丈夫双双死在发配途中。
她带着记忆转世投胎，成为江南望族林家的家生丫鬟陈香兰。
这一生，香兰有四朵桃花：一朵不能要，一朵她不要，一朵还没开好就谢了……还有一朵……唉，不省心啊……
这是一个小丫鬟想脱离宅门而不得的故事。

This is a story about a little maid who wants to leave her house but cannot.
and i believe JL/XFF didn't know about her past, but this punishment of making wanning believe she's pregnant when she's actually not is so cruel 😭
these are just numbers anyway. i've seen 9☆ dramas that should've been in the 8, and dramas in the 7 that should've been in the 8
