Cun Xi is the sole male heir to his family's company and he has the power to decide the survival of an island undergoing developments. However a few islander wants to maintain the island's pureness and not let the island become destroyed as it turn into a tool for earning money.

Xin Yi later finds out that she's pregnant and Cun Xi's grandmother forces them to get married. The story revolves around this couple forced to marry for the sake of their unborn child. Will they find love with each other?

Comments:

Without second thought I went and bought the limited edition box set of this show as a friend told me it was really nice.

A friend of mine told me that at first Ming Dao is suppose to be the main lead for this show. However he was too busy with some other shows, so end up Ethan Ruan too over the role. I guess he did very well in the show. Some people say that their back looks a like, so there was one scene Ming Dao took over to just show his back. Was very funny a joke that the director and the actors played with the audience.

This is the one of the few Taiwan drama that I did not fast forward while watching. I watched from the begining till end.

It shows how a ugly, simple duckling ends up being a beautiful and confident lady. I mean of cos Xin Yi (Chen Qiao En) is a pretty girl herself, she just acted so well as a simple and silly lady at first.

I really like Dylan (Baron), he was quietly supporting Xin Yi even though she does not like him at all. Xin Yi's mum is so adorable, especially with the way she talks, I wonder if she is doing it purposely or she just talks this way.

This drama a very touching and commical drama, you can really laugh and cry through out the show. Get ready some tissue, as you really need them at some parts of the show.
