It is a Chinese TV series. It is based on the novel ‘Marriage of Di Daughter’ by Quin Shan Cha Ke. Written by Ren Yanan, Yang Zhou, Ma Shige. Directed by Lv Hao Ji Ji, Bai Yunmo, Ma Shige. It stars Wu Jinyan, Wang Xingyue with others.

Xue Li , the daughter of Magistrate Xue was betrayed & buried alive by her beloved husband Shen Yurong. Fate gives her a second chance & she manages to survive. She is saved by Jiang Li, the daughter of Chief Secretariat.

Jiang Li soon passes away . Before dying she asks Xue Li to take revenge for her. Xue Li takes on Jiang Li’s identity & goes to the capital to seek revenge against those who caused her & Jiang Li’s misfortune.

Jiang Li’s maid Ton’er helps her all the way, in her journey. With twists & turns on her way, it makes delightful viewing.

Rated at 6.9.

Elaborate burial & the woman so enraged & sad. It brings the first scene in ‘Mr Plankton’ alive. He is dying & the entire series is in flash back.

Recently watched ‘Si Jin’, the main heroine is a confident, considerate woman named Jiang Si! Here, the girl, Jiang Li , having a short & small role shines. Then when Xue Li takes her identity, all call her ‘Jiang Li’!!!

Xue Li’s husband is Shen Yurong. In ‘Si Jin’ before Yu Jin makes his feelings clear, she has a suitor , Zhen Heng. He later falls for the Princess Fu Qing.

There is Empress Di, her mother who got help from the emperor’s sister , Rong Yang, the Princess Royal, to be promoted. In ‘The Princess Royal’ the princess is Li Rong!!!

Wu Jinyan is known for her roles in ;Beauties at the Crossfire’, ‘Story of Yanxi Palace ‘ 2018, ‘The Legend of Haolan’ 2019 & ‘The Double’ & ‘ Kill Me Love Me’2024.

Wang Xingyue rose to fame due to this drama. But his earlier outings ‘Story of Kunning Palace 2023, ‘Amidst a Snowstorm of Love’ & ‘The Double’ 2024. In ‘Perfect Match’ 2025 as Chai An. I was wondering why I haven’t seen him in a lead role & I got the answer!

I am watching his third drama!!!

I am following the Chinese period dramas now.
