Beautiful location with OK story & handsome ML

I watched the trailer of this series on Youku while looking for 'What's next to watch'.

What I liked:
1) Location - I love that this series was shot at a tea plantation. It's refreshing and beautiful. I drink tea but watching this series made appreciate tea even more.
2) Eric Hsiao - His MDL profile photo doesn't do him justice. Wow, he's handsome, very tall and fit. He's also charming. His clothes were beautiful though I don't think some of them were appropriate for work at tea plantation.
3) Health & fitness - I love shots of him working out because then I understood his past/other life as a bodyguard/agent-for-hire.
4) Xi Yan characterisation - It's great to see a female lead who is capable at work. She gave advice on marketing, provided possible solutions to problem affecting the community.
5) Action scenes - I enjoyed them even though some were unbelieavable.
6) Romance - I like that the ML asked FL to share her problems with him so they could work on them together. Overall their romance was believable and most of the time cute. One particular kissing scene was damn hot.

What I disliked:
1) Danger to Xi Yan - Zi Hao seemed like a nice guy at the start but he wasn't. I was surprised that he harmed people but Xi Yan did not feel threatened. Well I expected stronger reaction from her.
2) Xiu Fen's stepmom - I don't understand why she had a change of heart.
3) The third act - I feel like this series lost its momentum towards the end.

Favourite scene
When Xi Yan tried to rescue the little lamb
