There is a counselling session where the leads are asked to write out their experience. They are unwilling to reveal their feelings and so their sentences have "...". This perfectly summarises this drama series.

Romantic moments are constantly interrupted by phone calls, knocks on the door or people.

There are a number of disappointments on the part of the male lead even though he is a charming soul. The number of times he chooses helping someone else, instead of keeping his word to Sheng Xia is extremely frustrating.

The shipper moments are very cute but as said before they are interrupted, just when you begin to swoon.

If I didn't like the look of the female lead or the character of the male lead, I probably would not have made it to episode 40.

OK, my complaints and utter disappointment aside, let's discuss the positives of the series:-

1) Story - it is a different spin on contract marriage.

2) Characters - Sheng Xia is beautiful and sweet natured. Qui Yang is level headed and respectable.

3) Music - both opening and ending sequences are well received. "I love you, I need you, I want you" and " Slowly I am falling in love with you" are solid musical pieces.

4) Rewatch value - I probably will not rewatch this, as the shipper moments are too far apart and too short for it to be considered worthwhile.

5) Overall, it's a good series; it just left us hanging in suspension for too long.
