Mr. Gu, the rich arrogant CEO of an animation company, proposes marriage to college student QingQing and is refused but her brother's huge debt makes her reconsider. Ultimately she finds herself living with Mr Gu and pretending to be his fiancée. Cue romantic hijinks. The plot couldn't be more pedestrian, and at certain points almost incoherent. What saves this series is the performances. Rarely have I chuckled at a series as much as I did at this one. The principal actors have a short list of credits but you'd never know it. The actor playing Mr Gu is strikingly handsome with great comic timing. Highlights include his frustrated attempts to declare his love over the noise of an exuberant crowd watching a fountain show, his accidental swallowing of an engagement ring and a marriage proposal that goes horribly awry. And he has what has to be the cutest, sweetest mother in the history of romantic comedies. The actress playing Mama Gu lights up the show with her few scenes ( and provides the one note of novelty in the series). The last few episodes veer into traditional and not too interesting melodrama and just about kills the goodwill it has built up before but most of the time it's great tasting cotton candy for the brain.

Fun but full of cliches

A cold CEO, a young student, contract marriage, the jealous evil shrew makeup this funny drama. A little cliche but luckily the cast did a great job portraing each character. Making us forget that the plot on it's self is a little dull and make us laugh.
In her first and only role, hopefully not the last, Zhan Zhi Chao does an amzing job. Her body language, showing her feelings of happiness, sadness, and frustration.
As for Chen Jing Ke, a relatively new actor, does a really good job os displaying the characters trauma and like most CEO's he does not show his emotions easily and with the use of his eyes and body he definitely makes moment on screen very memorable.
Of course there are moments where the characters are a bit anoying and too immature, always running away instead of sitting down and talk things through.
In the end everything falls into place and the jealous evil shrew even gets what she deserves.
