Wu Jin Yan as the main actress, Yu Zheng as main producer and many other actors who are back here, with a very similar kind of story
Both stories are kinda about a Cinderella. Nevertheless, the Cinderella here is strong enough to stand up for herself and you can see those who made her suffer get their karmas in the end. And she has a handsome prince-not-so-charming who gives us just enough slap-and-kiss so that it would be interesting but not to the point where he’s a total jerk
