Synopsis and Plot Summary

A story revolving around two prominent clans in the North and South. The Su Family hopes to control the Shi Family through a union, but the chosen bride runs away. Her replacement becomes embroiled in complicated relationships and a family vengeance.

During the Northern Song Dynasty, Su Guangping (Li Jianyi) is an unscrupulous merchant who plots a scheme to covet Shi Wuji's properties (Qi Ji). He proposes a marriage between their families. Shi Wuji has always suspected that Su Guangping had a hand in the massacre that occurred 20 years ago which makes him wary of his enemy. Shi Wuji chooses the Su Family's illegitimate daughter Su Huan'er (Zhao Liying) as his bride. Su Huan'er falls off a cliff while trying to escape her own wedding.

To ensure that the plan will go on without a hitch, Su Guangping arranges for Yang Yi (Zhao Liying), a daughter he had out of wedlock, to be Su Huan'er's replacement. Genuine and astute, Yang Yi stands up for herself despite being spurned after marrying into the Shi Family. One day, she saves Shi Wuxia (Zheng Qian) and starts to convert people to her side. Slowly and unexpectedly, she becomes a ray of light to the new family and eases the misunderstandings between the two brother Shi Wuji and Shi Wujie (Guo Dongdong).

Fun Facts

Filming took place in Hengdian World Studios.
Filming lasted around three months.
It is based on two novels by Xi Juan - Love Crosses at the Wrong Time 交错时光的爱恋 and Choosing the Mandarin Duck 戏点鸳鸯.
The 50-episode drama is split into two parts - Cuo Dian Yuan Yang and Xi Dian Yuan Yang with 25 episodes each.
The source novel which is about a modern day girl who travels in time to become Shi Wu Ji's bride is the first time-travel novel to become famous in China.
As Shu Wu Ji is written up to be a perfect character, Qi Ji felt a lot of pressure when filming started and it was only when filming wrapped that he felt a burden was lifted.
Zhao Liying also felt pressure while filming so she did her homework and buried her nose into the script to understand the Su Huan'er described in the novel.
While filming an action scene, Han Dong's shoulder was accidentally slashed by a knife, but he went right back to work after getting it bandaged.
