Don’t watch with high expectations like I did. My initial high rating kept dropping episode after episode because:

- The ML has a moron-cartoon-like-villain father (plus 2 stupid step brothers), and I think that even cartoons might not have such unrealistic characterization. This destroyed the credibility of the plot (for me) as his decisions' were absurd, causing silly predictable collateral damages.

- The ML is a smart, strategic thinker, but he is a beta hero, a beta lover, and a beta, insecure son who suffers the mistreatments (and murder attempts) from his cartoon-like-father, without protesting the whole drama with a moronic forgiveness at the end.

- Although the ‘know-it-all’ female lead character becomes less irritating with time, the leads’ love story becomes bland after the first half of the drama.

My 6 rating is for XU Kai acting, plus the effort that went into the set/art production and special effects.
