Ok look. I took off a ton of points here because the main character just pisses me off. idk why she's so obsessed with xb because he's a total dick. the acting was great. especially li hong yi- he legit carried this series. im just pissed at how fmc keeps defending xb and always thinks the best of him despite him literally willing to sacrifice her for a nut. a freaking nut.
and can we talk about how it took 2 ppl DYING for her to realize what an asshole xb really is? that's in epi 26 btw. anyways, zhao lusi is great in romance of tiger and rose (传闻中的陈芊芊)- so go watch that.

also, ik that someone's gonna get hella sensitive over this- so just bear in mind that everyone has different opinions. if u want romance, this is the drama for you. if you want a story with a fmc that actually thinks for herself? this ain't it.
