Revenge the way it should be done

I absolutely loved this series. Out of every 20 or so of these Chinese web series you find one diamond in the rough.

The theme is usually a poor battered and abused female lead suffering all kinds of mental, physical and emotional torture from the male lead and every Tom, Dick and Harry and then the scumbag ML discovers the FL isn't the bad guy and in the last five minutes he apologizes for his wrong doing (which could be anything from rape, torture, imprisonment, sex trafficking, forced termination of his own offspring, forced blood donations, organ harvesting, causing the FL to miscarry etc) and voila the FL forgives him and they live happily ever after in a land filled with leprechauns, unicorns and multicoloured candyfloss clouds.

As you might guess from the sarcasm above I despise these storylines that seem to glorify abuse of women in general and domestic abuse specifically. I'm usually left wondering if these dramas are representative of how relationships in the country of origin actually go! And I'm terrified to take a drink from anyone... even the barkeeper! The female leads no matter how strong turn to idiots because of what....a magic d***k? I mean I can't think of any other reason a relatively sane person would get back together with someone who's more or less a psychopathic twit. Twit because some floozy tells him the woman he's usually married to did a bad thing and he proceeds to abuse her for years on end without bothering to actually investigate until eons later. Usually he goes through little to no character growth, and rarely acknowledges his sins.

A normal person with an iota of shame upon realizing the magnitude of their f**k up would just leave the other person alone, because some things cannot be forgiven especially the intentional death of a child.

This series did it right. The female lead was brilliant, the male lead was suitably detestable. The revenge plot was well executed and the ending was satisfactory and left me with a good taste in my mouth. All the actors played their roles well.

I'm giving a solid 9/10 solely on the basis that the female lead was not an idiot. Although seriously it is a great series, well worth the rating, and it's just over 3 hours
