It was directed by Chen Yuezhen (陈玥祯) and stars Li Yuan (李源) as Ye Yang (叶阳) and Tang Yanli (汤彦俐) as Liu Ruyan (柳如烟), running 91 episodes.[1](https://www.iqiyi.com/a_ls3hs287y1.html)\n\n| Key fact | Detail |\n|---|---|\n| Format | Chinese short drama, 91 episodes, released 2025[1](https://www.iqiyi.com/a_ls3hs287y1.html) |\n| Director and leads | Directed by Chen Yuezhen; Li Yuan as Ye Yang, Tang Yanli as Liu Ruyan[1](https://www.iqiyi.com/a_ls3hs287y1.html) |\n| Premise | Deliveryman Ye Yang is recruited by CEO Lin Wanyin to fake a marriage for a monthly salary of 100,000 yuan, then the arrangement becomes real[2](https://hongguoduanju.com/detail?series_id=7532006475728702489) |\n| Genre tags | Urban (都市), comeback story (逆袭翻身), hidden identity (马甲文), face-slapping villains (打脸反派)[2](https://hongguoduanju.com/detail?series_id=7532006475728702489) |\n| Platform performance | 19.79 million heat and an 8.4 rating on Hongguo Short Drama; 1.59 million hot searches and 662,000 likes on the SoDuanju hot-search ranking[2](https://hongguoduanju.com/detail?series_id=7532006475728702489) • [3](https://www.soduanju.com/paihang/reso.html) |\n| Production | Produced by Bailu Short Drama (白鹿短劇)[4](https://duanjubaike.org/zh-Hant/drama/1415) |\n| Critical notice | Selected for the \"Rui Jian Micro Short Drama\" weekly list, week 23 (July 21–27, 2025)[5](https://www.sohu.com/a/919598841_100024718) |\n\n## Spoilers\n\n### Plot\n\nThe story opens on an ordinary workday. Ye Yang, a delivery courier, accepts a final order to the Yunding Tower office building. When the elevator doors open, the aloof president Lin Wanyin is being cornered by an arranged-date suitor. Spotting Ye Yang's delivery uniform, she takes his arm and announces to the room, \"Husband, you came to pick me up from work.\" She then quietly offers him a deal: play her boyfriend for a monthly salary of 100,000 yuan. That same night she produces a marriage certificate; the staged relationship turns into a real marriage, and the courier with his delivery box still in hand becomes the son-in-law of a billionaire conglomerate family.[2](https://hongguoduanju.com/detail?series_id=7532006475728702489)\n\nA promotional synopsis frames the same setup from the hero's point of view: Ye Yang never imagined that a deliveryman could marry a beautiful CEO, and that she would come to him first; after finishing his last delivery, his fortunes turn.[1](https://www.iqiyi.com/a_ls3hs287y1.html) The drama belongs to the \"counterattack\" (逆袭) strand of the format, in which a low-status protagonist wins recognition and reverses humiliations inflicted by better-placed characters.[2](https://hongguoduanju.com/detail?series_id=7532006475728702489)\n\n## Cast and production\n\nLi Yuan and Tang Yanli head the cast, supported by Ma Yi, Qi Zhaotong, Ai Nuosi, Wang Bike, and Liu Yong, with Xu Hengyan also credited.[2](https://hongguoduanju.com/detail?series_id=7532006475728702489) • [6](https://www.duanjubaike.net/yanyuan/info-7408862081019024702.html) The two leads are frequent partners: Tang Yanli's profile on the Short Drama Encyclopedia lists 48 works made with Li Yuan, including *Rang Ni Jia Ban Nüyou, Ni Jing Rang Wo Zuo Yong Yunhai Pingyuan* and its sequel, *Rang Ni Mai Shaokao, Ni Zhaixia Yunduan Zhi Yue*, and *Fei Taizi zhi Rongyao Chuanqi*.[6](https://www.duanjubaike.net/yanyuan/info-7408862081019024702.html) The production company is Bailu Short Drama.[4](https://duanjubaike.org/zh-Hant/drama/1415)\n\n## Reception\n\n**Platform metrics.** On Hongguo Short Drama, where the full 91 episodes stream free, the series recorded 19.79 million heat and a viewer rating of 8.4.[2](https://hongguoduanju.com/detail?series_id=7532006475728702489) On the SoDuanju hot-search ranking it placed 17th, with 1.59 million hot searches, 33.39 million heat, and 662,000 likes.[3](https://www.soduanju.com/paihang/reso.html)\n\n**Critical treatment.** The series was selected for the 23rd weekly edition of the \"Rui Jian Micro Short Drama\" recommendation list covering July 21–27, 2025. The citation described it as reversing the usual gender setup of the [Cinderella](https://www.edgepedia.org/cinderella) story, telling a male version of the tale and conveying the value that those who keep striving find redemption; it also noted that the drama folds elements such as false accusation, a cheating man, a scheming rival woman, and succession struggles into its plot rather than staying with a simple betrayal-of-marriage storyline.[5](https://www.sohu.com/a/919598841_100024718) A Sohu feature piece characterized the drama as a love story across class lines between an honest deliveryman and a high-born, cold \"unattainable flower,\" in which the leads face social disparity and inner conflict before a warm ending.[7](https://www.sohu.com/a/914143942_122417994)\n\nThe series also circulated internationally through fan-subtitled uploads: the YouTube channel Tinghua Short Drama (听花短剧), which posts Chinese short dramas with English titles such as \"The Underdog Who Won the Ice Queen's Heart,\" published the full series and tagged it with the format's standard marketing labels, including urban comeback, contract marriage, and sweet daily life.[8](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ScEMLtKeFGQ)\n\n## Context in the short-drama format\n\nThe title follows a productive naming template in the industry, \"Rang ni X, ni Y,\" in which a protagonist assigned a humble task exceeds it spectacularly; sibling titles include *Rang Ni Mai Shaokao, Ni Zhaixia Yunduan Zhi Yue* (Asked to Sell Barbecue, You Win the Moon Above the Clouds), with the same lead pair, and *Rang Ni Zhen Yao, Ni Du Chong Gaoling Zhihua*.[6](https://www.duanjubaike.net/yanyuan/info-7408862081019024702.html) • [9](https://www.duanjubaike.net/duanju/info-7613657613078645822.html) The phrase \"gaoling zhihua\" (高岭之花, flower on a high ridge) is a borrowed Japanese idiom for an admired, unreachable person, and here names the CEO heroine. Within the 2025 market, the drama's combination of a delivery-worker hero, a contract marriage, and hidden-identity reversals matches the urban comeback genre that dominates short-drama hot-search lists, where family, urban, and romance titles routinely run 50 to 100 episodes.[3](https://www.soduanju.com/paihang/reso.html)\n\n## References\n\n1.
