THE CHILD IS PRACTICALLY NON-EXISTENT
That's the major plot-hole of this story and I'm forewarning everyone who plans to pick this up because of that relation. Obviously, there is a child but the kid is merely the script/screenwriter's disposable tool to remind us Ling Xun Xun is actually a divorced mom because chances are, you'll be left wondering and questioning her being a mom.

Ideally, 'housewife divorcee with no kids in tow' would've aligned better with the story/drama title. Reading the synopsis, I was piqued and then misled. Truth is, the child is nowhere near to be seen as integral part in Xun Xun's rebooting milestone. It's unsettling and jarring knowing she is a housewife prior that and presumably spends larger part of her life in child-rearing but she's presented as solely 'divorcee' at most times - she hardly checks her kid. Her volition is disputable. I know this is a lighthearted rom-com which sort of makes it acceptable to passively ignore the fact but it ticks me off so so so much.
Apart from Xun Xun's situation, everything else is typical in drama-land. Cheng Li is a young and rich flower-boy CEO of his start-up business with a past to deal with. I would've liked him had he has redeeming edges but no, he's your usual childish and seemingly cold CEO. I don't dislike him though.
Onto plot, it's bland. Nothing amusing. Sure, there's a few giddy scenes however it's still bland. Acting is so-so. So why did I soldier on? The sismance. The sismance between Xun Xun and Zhou Quan is particularly endearing and rather a rarity in drama-land especially considering their social standing and circumstances.
