Unexpected Twists and Enigmatic Characters
The show kicks off with Joseph Zeng making a grand entrance, accompanied by a child. He boldly proclaims Tian Xiwei as the “love of my (his) life,” but things aren’t as simple as they seem. The child isn’t what it appears to be; it’s a prop to help Tian Xiwei break off her engagement. And just when you think their relationship might face condemnation, a dashing son-in-law arrives, turning the story on its head. Joseph Zeng’s sweet talk wins over the family, even though he hasn’t officially become the son-in-law. The unexpected twists add layers of intrigue to the plot, keeping viewers hooked.
As the story unfolds, Joseph Zeng’s true identity remains a mystery. Is he a force for good or ill within the Lian family? Shen Nuo, played by Joseph Zeng, is pursued by assassins and suffers severe injuries, raising questions about his background and intentions. Despite claiming to come from Shen’s Village, his appearance doesn’t align with the typical farmer stereotype. After six episodes, it’s clear that Shen Nuo is involved in a concealed plan that’s yet to be unveiled, leaving viewers wondering about his true purpose within the Lian family.
Ancient Village Game with a Twist
Tian Xiwei finds herself thrown into an ancient rural village game, and she quickly realizes her marriage was arranged with a sinister intent – sacrifice. She manages to avoid the wedding, but things take a bizarre turn when she’s drugged and abducted. Bound and on the verge of being sacrificed by fire, she’s in a desperate situation. To exit the game, she must complete a mission to earn a thousand gold coins. Despite the eerie undertones, the show manages to inject humor into the situation, creating moments that tug at your heartstrings and make you burst into laughter.
Family Dynamics and Hidden Agendas
Beyond the romantic and mysterious elements, the Lian family members have their own hidden agendas. Despite presenting themselves as a tightly-knit family, they’re brimming with personal ambitions. The show sheds light on favoritism and individualistic motives in real life, all in a light and humorous manner. The arrival of Tian Xiwei subtly starts to reshape the dynamics within the Lian family. The anticipation is palpable as viewers eagerly await how the story will progress and strengthen the unity of the Lian family.
