   This is super good! There's a really heart-wrenching part in the middle, tormenting both the female and male leads, but it gets sweet later on, and everyone finds a happy ending. The female lead herself is a major highlight, constantly growing and evolving. It's a mutual redemption story, with a touch of favoritism. Zhou Cong and Xu Zhiqiao (99), Ji Huailuo and Li Xiaoxing (99) are particularly noteworthy.
