4 Reasons to Watch
1. Characters You’ll Actually Root For
As a promising web novelist, Ruan Yu has gained popularity for her engaging love stories, despite not having much experience in romance herself. When accusations of plagiarism arise, she hires a law firm to help her prove her innocence — never expecting to discover that one of her lawyers is Xu Huai Song, her old high school crush and the man who inspired her latest hit novel.
Xu Huai Song remains exactly as she remembers him: quiet, mature, and nonchalant. However, his true personality is easygoing, cheeky, and even a little mischievous — the complete opposite of the person she thought she knew. This duality makes him stand out, breaking away from the classic perfect Prince Charming image. He feels refreshingly real — flaws, goofy moments, and all.
2. A Dynamic Between the Leads That’s Pure Comedy Gold
Huai Song had already fallen for Ruan Yu first. However, due to family circumstances, he never got to confess his feelings. After 10 years apart, he is determined not to let go of the opportunity once he discovers she was also in love with him.
Unable to reveal his true personality, Xu Huai Song has no choice but to keep appearing as a cold and indifferent top-tier lawyer. Ruan Yu also ends up keeping up appearances, making it impossible for them to realize how compatible and similar they actually are. The result? Delicious, slow-burn chaos with a smile guaranteed every episode.
3. Supporting Characters Who Steal Every Scene
Liu Mao isn’t only Huai Song’s work partner but also his most loyal friend, a certified cupid, and one of the funniest characters in the show. Once he learns about the past between his friend and Ruan Yu, Liu Mao does everything in his power to help — a man with a heart of gold who becomes Huai Song’s ultimate supporter.
Ruan Yu’s bestie and editor, Shen Ming Ying, is the successful career type that any woman dreams of being. Despite her own personal life falling apart after her boyfriend cheats on her, she pulls herself together and moves forward — and somehow finds honest love in none other than Liu Mao. The secondary love story alone is worth the watch.
4. A Second Chance Romance Done Right
This drama starts with the nostalgia and melancholy of knowing that some loves might never be. But the characters finding their way back to each other despite time and distance is what makes this story really special. They might have missed each other during their teenage years, but life gives them the greatest and rarest gift: a second chance. PureWow
It’s the kind of Chinese television drama that doesn’t reinvent the wheel — it just turns it with so much heart and warmth that every familiar beat still lands perfectly.
