"Is it rivalry or love?"
After Wu Suo-wei's girlfriend dumps him, he decides to get revenge by seducing her new boyfriend, Chi Cheng! It started as a game, but falling in love was never part of the plan.

“Revenged Love“ created an incredible hype, and as I'm writing this review, four months after the series ended, social media are still full of references to it. This hype has many reasons: there is the technical perfection of the production, there is the exciting story, good writing and directing, but most of all there is a cast that has made fans around the world _addicted_ (sorry, not sorry for the pun). It is great that Chinese BL is back, after a long break since the iconic “Addicted“ series due to censorship. In 2023/4, this drought ended, with series like “Stay with me“ and “Blue Canvas of Youthful Days“, indicating what Chinese series can do.
After Chi Cheng (Tian Xu Ning), heir of a wealthy family, stole Suo Wei’s (Zi Yu) girlfriend, Suo Wei takes revenge by seducing Chi Cheng. As experienced BL fans would expect, their relationship turns into real - and mutual - love, albeit with lots of obstacles in the protagonists’ way. The lead actors sky-rocketed to international stardom, and, what may even be more surprising, against all odds to stardom in China, too.
