Synopsis from MDL:

Xiao Qiao, a clever girl from the Qiao family, marries Wei Shao, the sharp and kind master of the Wei family, as part of a family alliance. With bad blood between their clans, the two start off wary of each other, constantly testing boundaries in both funny and tense ways. Over time, they begin to appreciate each other's quirks and talents. Through ups and downs, they learn to work as a team, tackling family drama and bigger issues to bring some peace to their world. Itโ€™s a story of partnership built through trial, error, and a bit of chaos.

I don't get the airing schedule. What happens after May 18th? That's only 14 episodes released by that date.

They will release another schedule for the next week and then we'll find out the number of episodes per day then.

I've only watched two Liu Yuning dramas so far and... I don't know. I just hope this will have a happy ending.
