This is a good example of how a hidden identity story can work with a bit of care and thought. Thus far all the Republican era ones have been decent. The actress is excellent and the chemistry is good.

 

An actress at the height of her success from present day has an incident with a chandelier and dies on the spot. She travels back in time and her soul transmigrates into that of a blind young woman who has been ill used by her family. Having taken possession of the body she ceases to be blind but carries on the charade to protect herself. The dead young woman was betrothed to be married to the 少帅 military commander. One night a man with a blood stained shirt enters her room while she's about to have a bath. Later on she meets him again this time as the military commander's aide-de-camp donning a mask. She recognizes his voice instantly.  There are many people who don't want this marriage to take place including the FL (although she changes her mind later) who has to navigate a snobby mother-in-law to be, a noisy and irritating 情敌 as well as her own family. 

 

What works for me is how the hidden identity is effectively used as a vehicle for the ML to observe and fall in love with the FL of his own accord. It's a fairly straightforward story that sees the leads avoiding traps and trashy people while she lives with the future in-laws.

 

FL: Zhu Moyan ML: Li Hao

i finish this one @40somethingahjumma and like you say its really well written and well act out too....

the mother in law is too partial and wont bend even when she knew the girl she wanted her son to be with is some spoil brat who only think of herself and no others....

luckily the ML and the father in law is good to be on her sides.....

and when we have twin again.....she was in 2 different role lols

7 blooming years... for this pairing to see the light of day again

 

The CGI actually looks half decent and it sounds like that they're using their own voices.

dont get fool by the trailer....i found trailer they tends to use the original actor voices, however when it came to the actual episode, they dub it!!!!

This is a well-written, well-made repackaging of the contract marriage, revenge tropes. It's always a delight to see an intelligent, scheming FL at work. She first attracts the ML's attention at a blind date event and takes on the biggest gamble of her life. They enter into a contract marriage because she needs his clout to avenge her parent's death and escape an unwanted marriage as well as her uncle's household. On top of that she doesn't have a whole lot of time left. She's been poisoned for much of her life and is not expected to live long. The ML's just returned from overseas and is trying to shake off a marriage alliance. I wasn't familiar with the ML prior to this but he's very attractive and likeable. His name is Li Shiyao. 李是侥

 

Right off the bat she is surprised at how protective he is considering they are only a transactional relationship. As they gradually develop feelings for each other she is torn between early impending death and her fear of falling for him. The way they look after each other is very pleasing to watch.  All in all the romance is quite lovely.

yes this one is pretty nice....i like how they work too and i watch it last night while the other i yet to start hahaha though i do like both the ml n fl......

been some times since i watch the FL in such a demure stage....a bit laid back from most of her.....which is a bit crazy and push forward most of the times lols

the ML's mother had a thorn in her heart and its hard even for her to accept the ML back into the fold, which as much as i feel bad for the mother i feel bad for the ML too......though she didnt outright rejected him....just unable to see him in the eyes due to some resemblance the ML hold toward his dad, the very person who imprisoned her for her whole life.....

This is a marital problems drama and a case of personality growth. Both characters are flawed. They do love each other and married for love. She is insecure in their marriage while he is neglectful and annoy at her insecurities. He is a first time husband as well as her as a wife. So there are a lot to learn and there are many problems and adjustment to overcome. The vixen makes thing more complicated. Her amnesia helped both of them see their own shortcomings as a spouse clearer and they both work together to fix it. So all well and happy.

 

I like the ML but no idea who is he. Saw few of his dramas.

 

 

exactly....both are fault.....the girl married young and guy being guy just take things on the outlook....

the vixen with the mother in tow.....does make a wonderful pair though lols

yes i like him....i let u know the name if i ever come across it lols

Yes, I did and especially love the scene where she squatted down to listen to the 八卦 while being offered some 西瓜子 😂😂

somehow all this retro styles seems more in sync with our lifestyles that we can feel....

I watched another version, the casts are more suitable though. The Da Su looked really like Da Su, this one is so young like xiao bai lian....

ya this DaXu doesnt have the leverage and arrogant status....not like the DaSu we all want hahaha

have you seen this? this one not too bad either

the preview looks good i guess....hopefully they do not rely too much on the graphic and make it overloaded

grabbing passerby and kiss it....lols and viola they strike it out with a rich man hahaha

This is hilarious..... Their assistants are so rich in expression..... The CP chemistry is superb, acting is great. Matured actors who are doing all in....

got to hat it to them....this times the ML looks great with the FL rather then, them pairing him up with some kiddo lols

i just finish this.....honestly the story is quite simple @OsmanthusTea wife got tired.....2nd FL try to step in between....

only thing in this faulty whole r/s was they got it on the right footing just some where along the way the ML stop paying attention and that bother FL and she was left insecure by the whole thing....then came in faith.....gotta say WGG and SHN really looks the best together
