Due to this, Li Zhe's mother commits suicide and his father becomes mentally ill. Zhiyou is filled with guilt all these years and trying to make up to Li Zhe for his loss. Li Zhe is determined to destroy Zhiyou's career and snatch away Yiren.

Litle did Li Zhe know, Yiren is also the little girl whom he has been looking for over the years. They both once saved each other on Qing mountain.

My View

A light-hearted drama filled with laughter especially the noob Zhiyou when he is jealous of Yiren. I ship for second leads as well.

Starring

Yu Menglong, Chen Yuqi

Storyline

Jing Ci (Yu Menglong) is Yong country's prince who has been raised by King of Zhao country. Feng Mianwan (Chen Yuqi) is Ci's personal maid since young. 

Both Ci and Mianwan are fond of each other but face multiple obstacles between them. An incident brings Mianwan back to Yong as another identity under Yuan Qingli. 

She loses her memory in the midst and gets to know Jing Zhiwan (who is actually Jing Ci). The pair work together in cracking numerous murder cases. They also eventually expose the evil deed of Prince Ye who usurps the throne.

My View

I kinda like short and sweet dramas as too many additional episodes make me lose my patience. TLLTM is my cup of tea though I heard lots of reviews that Yu Menglong seems cold with not much expressions. 

But that is what makes him looks good and cool. I love him especially as Bai Zhen from Eternal Love.
