Plot Synopsis

Shen Qiangwei, the庶 daughter of the Shen family, was unwilling to be sold by her stepmother to a bully as a concubine. She took her little sister and went to seek refuge with her aunt Zhang Shi, the head of the prestigious families in the capital. However, she was rejected miserably. In order to survive, she secretly seduced Xiao Yanqing and was able to stay in Xiao's mansion in the name of a distant relative girl. During the day, the two are cousins who abide by etiquette. At night, they are ambiguous and affectionate. Shen Qiangwei originally planned to leave quietly after Xiao Yanqing got married. Unexpectedly, Xiao Yanqing, who seemingly abides by propriety on the surface, is actually dark and paranoid inside, full of possessiveness towards her, and insists on taking her as a concubine. This drama is adapted from the Tomato Novel "The Mad Tyrant Seizes Her, It Was You Who Seduced Me First" by the author - Xiao Yu Yan Yan.

Audience Reviews

Watching the second version of the pseudo-incest forced love drama, Chen Tianxiang's performance made me feel that he wasn't as scummy as in the first version. His eye acting is especially good, with a kind of domineering possessiveness. Chen Shiqi, with a sweet girl face, plays the forced role, hitting the contrast feeling that I love. It should be noted that the content you provided involves inappropriate and unethical themes such as pseudo-incest. Such content is not in line with positive values and should not be promoted or advocated. We should focus on positive, healthy and valuable cultural works.

Although it's a story full of feudal dross, the script is not bad. However, the female lead acts like a mistress. The male lead is good, and his crazy and paranoid character is quite likable. Especially the part where he is tortured after faking his death is great, it's just a pity that it's too short, and the ending is even more hasty.

The male lead is quite handsome and there isn't much of a plot, just [description not clear in the original, perhaps something like "keep doing something" which is currently "啃" in Chinese].

If the male lead didn't fight so frantically, get stabbed and shot with arrows, and if the second male lead wasn't really incompetent, he might really not be able to marry the wife he wanted. It seems that the female lead was simply scared by the male lead's crazy self - harm. But this kind of man is really a bit terrifying. If something happens, he might really be the kind of person who would drag you down to hell with him. But just watching the drama from the perspective of a bystander吃瓜观众, the forbidden love between cousins is quite exciting...

This looks good.

It's not as good as the first version. Neither of the two actors quite fit the settings in the original novel. The male lead can't act out that sense of coercion, while the female lead, who is supposed to be the one being coerced, acts in a way that gives a feeling of seduction. (This is the first time I've given a bad review for a short drama... Isn't it the so-called fan circle that can't accept bad reviews? This version just doesn't convey the essence of the original work.)

The confrontation between the sickly and crazy noble young master and the scheming and stubborn little white flower. The makeup and costumes in the style of the Dream of the Red Chamber are extremely beautiful. So good-looking! Chen 17 is the best in ancient costumes. He is self-restrained and crazy. He was stabbed three times while chasing his wife and finally got the beauty. Shen Qiangwei is the most exciting character set I think Yu Ting has. She has a clear purpose, is weak but has means. (The uncut version is really more alluring and full of tension. It's a pity that there are only 6 free episodes)

Haha, So funny!

Nine out of ten similar dramas, the male lead and Tan Yanyan have already acted in them. What's the need to film them again? Are short drama scripts in such short supply? PS. However, the scene where the female lead fakes her death and the male lead spits out blood, I really never tire of watching it.
