XY's comment to the song doesn't make it any better too, that scene is so comedic 😂 and the slap to XY's head feels a bit personal lmaoo

tbh the way XL played the qin is very.. out of character.. and idk why it brings me second hand embarrassment.. maybe the way the song sounds a tad bit too modern, or XL's expression.. or both

I kinda feel bad for Wanning, especially after I know about her past in Dai country.

I still hate Shen Yurong until the end. No excuses. He's such a useless parasite who only pities himself.

The scene where XFF finally tells the truth about Jiang Li's death to Grand Chancellor Jiang is very sad. His expression, ugh. And also it kinda gives me the closure I need when XFF still calls him father even after both know the truth. Meaning, Jiang Yuan Bai somehow gets himself another daughter lol.

And, what about XFF's infidelity rumor? I guess it was never properly addressed. Shen and Wanning's infidelity is only a street rumor and never really addressed properly so I'm kinda disappointed in that part.

I agree, the last 30 mins is kinda unnecessary. I know that Dai Country is bound to act up without King Cheng, but I thought they were never that strong to the point of Xiao Heng losing 2 precious people by his side. I feel like that part of the story is very rushed. They should either extricate it from the drama completely, or make it into another arc with proper explanation.

Overall, I'm so satisfied with this drama, even with the odd several close-ups of XH biting XFF's memento XD

who's SRY?

I'm still waiting for Ep 29 to see how she will be punished, and it icks me that the slander about Jiang Li pushing Ji Shuran and make her lost her baby isn't revealed to Jiang Yuanbai yet. The whole world needs to know that OG Jiang Li is slandered, that way the revenge against OG Jiang Li will only be complete.

I love it that after Jiang Li almost got SA'd by Zhou Yan Bang, she can still sleep peacefully and comfortably in the presence of Duke Su. This shows how deep her feelings for him, and how much trust she has in him. Although both of them never explicitly state their feelings towards each other, but the way they feel comfortable and supportive of each other is more than enough to show their deep love.

And one more thing, I definitely love how Jiang Li no longer feel embarrassed or prideful to ask for Duke Su's assistance whenever she needed it. It's almost as if they have tacit understanding that Duke Su won't stand in her way of revenge and instead will be a fully supportive partner instead. Some dramas depict female characters as being so against to feel indebted to ML and so the ML need to secretly help them, but I love how in this drama Jiang Li never feel insulted to be a pawn of Duke Su's political game. LOVE, LOVE LOVE THEIR RELATIONSHIP!!!

I watched Ashes of Love, Immortal Samsara, Oath of Love, Lost You Forever, and Love Endures. Each drama she stars has its own charm.


I recommend Lost You Forever because I like her the best there! I think it was the peak of her acting skill as well, and the characterization of her role is really good. The story is interesting with handsome and great actors starring in it.


But if you're not fond of Reverse Harem drama, Immortal Samsara and Ashes of Love are good too. Both are pretty angsty, mind you.


For modern drama I like her in Love Endures because I prefer her hairstyle there, but her chemistry with the ML is a bit lacking. For wonderful romance and soaring chemistry in modern setting, watch Oath of Love 👌🏻


Go Go Squid is in my watchlist, I heard her chemistry with ML is great there too. And both are re-casted for a historical drama that will air in the future!

please no... I like her very much, and I think MCH and YZM still need our Fairy Grandmother a.k.a Granny Cupid 👵💘

dang, the way MCH threw the card to the floor in front of Jiali and Mr. Xin apologizing and thanking her is the most satisfying scene of the last episode! The Xin family is really disgusting, especially Jiali. Now that they are cornered, she wants to secure inheritance by telling her brother to marry someone she hates so much. Ugh, I think she's not carrying a human baby but a devil!

he can't hide his small smile when he's sitting in the car looking at MCH and XJL standing in the rain and looking tense! xD

ikr , I can't believe I teared up seeing his pathetic face.. He actually sincerely love MCH, it's just their circumstances, social status, families, and as grandma said, his lack of backbone...

I honestly think the kickback list plot is rather too simple and bordering on dumb. If anyone is to blame for the reveal of the kickback list, it's actually Manager Wang who sent the pricelist to MCH without crosschecking it because they're busy being drunk 🙄

Anyhow your info and explanation about kickback list really helps a lot in understanding the extend of how crucial that list is in bringing Dennis down, thanks a lot!

this was what I thought too. I think if this happens in real life, it's gonna be super weird. I once dated the son of my mother's cousin without knowing that we are still somehow distantly related and we still become a source of gossip in the whole school :)

ikr, even the story's literal title is Cheng Huan Ji, meaning it's essentially a story about Cheng Huan finding herself and striving for a better future.

I see, thanks fyi!
I'm quite new in MDL app so I'm getting a bit confused on where the photos section is located haha

Does anyone has the schedule poster for this drama? I saw it on X but when I returned and looked for it, it's gone 🥲

Gosh he's sabotaging her career jeez! 😠

Ep 4: AAAAAAAA THE SECOND-HAND EMBARRASSMENT I GET FROM XIN JIALIANG'S PROPOSAL! How can he not consider Chenghuan's feelings? That's her event! He ruins everything for her 😠🫵🏻

haters who say Yang Zi can't act must either be blind or has brain damage 😂 she's one of the actors in China that I fell in love with purely due to her acting skill and not face (I mean Yang zi is beautiful, but I used to dislike her features, lately when I watch multiple of her dramas, her acting grows on me, her personality grows on me, and I find her to be very beautiful inside out haha, so I first fell for her acting rather than her face, unlike my case with Dilraba).

Ep 31: danggggg I actually really like Consort Yue! She's really fierce and outspoken, even the Emperor can't stop her. In one way or another, she's similar with Xiao Yuanyi (Shaoshang's mother).
