Calm and mature FL was took her revenge

What I like:
1. Casting and acting
Jing Tian is perfect for her role that I can't imagine another actresses' version of FL. Timmy Xu was good but I think he could do better than this, he's still young and have time to improve. The supporting characters did great, they did justice to their role.

2. Republica era style
Jing Tian looks really great in republican era style, the make up, hair, and even the-not-so-glamor-clothes that she wear in earlier eps, everything look good on her! In general, all female's clothes in this drama were great, one look and you know they are republican style, but the men's style, especially ML, look modern to me, nevertheless they look good.

3. Heart-warming brother-sister relationships
FL and her brother really warm my heart that I wish I could have a caring brother or sister like them. ML and his siblings are nothing like FL and her brother, but they have a great bond.

4. OST
The ost were suitable for the drama, and they played it at the right time, so it helped the emotional delivery. However, it didn't leave deep impression on me, but i think i will remember it when i hear it, maybe.

5. Mature, smart and calm FL
In Chinese drama land where you can find loud, nonsense and spoiled FLs everywhere, a mature, calm and smart FL is a gem. So it's refreshing to watch, moreover Jing Tian rocks her role here.

What i don't like:
1. The pacing.
The drama has enough "drama" with good pacing from ep 1-30, but after that, the pacing just became weirdly fast, like they are trying to wrap it quickly while giving an ending story for each characters.

2. The story
Like i said, this drama has enough "drama", it has good storyline with layers and layers of mystery and revenge, but, sometimes it's just too repetitive, like 3 people threaten to shoot FL and all of them were shot by 2ML, not once not twice, but thrice!

3. The development of 2ML
What happened during the auction was not like 2ML way of doing things, he was a cruel man that have patiently waiting for revenge, but he suddenly wanted to kill ML and created such a mess? And later became so supportive of FL's and let her plan the revenge. Imo, this development's purpose are to make the FL shines brighter in the drama and to help the flow of story, while ignoring the 2ML character.

Overall, I will recommend you to watch this drama if you are into revenge and romance drama. The first 30eps will get you hooked!
