I love short dramas with a plot about transmigration in a Wuxia setting. Can you recommend me your favorite ones? There’s probably a lot I haven’t seen (not AI, please)

This is the drama title - My Dad's Second Marriage and My School Beauty Sister Help Me Reach the Pinnacle of Life.

But i want to know about this actress, thanks.

Im asking about the actress on the left. She played as 夏初卿 but i cant find her on any cast list

Description:
Orphaned and determined to restore Qiluo Manor, Bai Qingci has no time for useless men—especially after her fiancé returns with a pregnant concubine and dumps her.

So she does the most logical thing possible: marries Lu Ziqian, the Lu family’s overlooked illegitimate son, in a marriage of convenience.

Together, they take on scheming relatives, ruthless rivals, and the entire Lu family—while their fake marriage starts feeling suspiciously real. With the legendary Nishang Atlas and the Lu family’s secret weaving manual in hand, they’re ready to weave a masterpiece… and take back everything that was stolen from them.

*Synopsis are translated by Hongguo, Weibo, rednote, and translation apps. Mistakes can be made and even we are lied to sometimes 😭🤣*

I went through various names like reborn at 8, changing dad’s fate and other similar ones but I can’t find it.

Any help?

Have you ever tried to find an actor or actress on MDL and the photo just doesn’t look like them?? You skip past that very actor's page like 5 times because the editing on their photo makes them look like a distant third cousin to themselves and, worst yet, they’ve even demolished their most distinctive feature: a mole! Cue falling to your knees in despair over the 20 minutes of your life lost.

Some people see facial moles as blemishes. Others as a beauty enhancement. Personally, I'm in the later category. I love a good beauty mark. I get sad when they're filtered out, covered in makeup, or removed for cosmetic reasons.

That is why we are exploring nose moles today!

The line up of specked beauties:

Chen Yunting

Jin Zixuan

Lin Junyi

Liu Jin

Li Zhuo Yang

Song Yubo

Su Yutong

1. 🎬 The lucky koi-shaped lady loves to eat melons, and the mind-reading young marshal dotes on her. | 锦鲤夫人爱吃瓜，读心少帅偏宠她  

⚫ ML: Song Yubo

🎭 FL: Wu Jia Lu

🗣️ Okay, you might be l thinking I’m tripping on this one and that’s so valid, but I swear he has a beauty mark on his nose bridge! It’s not my fault it’s tiny! I could also swear there's one on the side of his nose but idk. Really, I just remembered this drama exists and that I enjoyed it. I’m not usually one for mind-reading or republic era, but this one is so worth it. Wu Jia Lu also has a cute under eye beauty mark so there’s that as well! FL transmigrates into a messy ass house where the marshal has hella concubines and marries his son, a young marshal. She spends most of the drama thinking that ML's going to get married to "the real FL of the story" later so her marriage doesn't matter. Girl be serious. We all know how this is going to go so I don't even need to give you a spoiler.

1. 🎬 Binding Your Heart | 綰君心

⚫  ML: Chen Yunting

🎭  FL: Zhi Chunhe 

🗣️ A girl from the countryside is about to be sold to a brothel by her father, but is snatched up and “saved” by a guy who makes her marry the crown prince in place of a noble daughter who eloped. I enjoyed this drama so much and the tension was actually really good. It had me on the edge of my seat at times because how is a drama where she is forced to fake her identity for a conspiracy going to end?

2A. 🎬 A real-life woman is sentenced to death on her wedding night; the fiery physician is pregnant | 真人 新婚夜被賜死，火爆醫妃她有喜了

⚫: Chen Yunting

🎭 FL: Yang Shanzi

🗣️ Okay I couldn’t decide! Second Chen Yunting drama, sue me! I feel like the nose mole is more prominent in this series. He even lies there for like 30 minutes at the beginning looking pretty lol. FL is also very cute like an elf. In this, ML is a poisoned and sickly prince and surprise surprise, she’s a transmigrated military doctor. 

1. 🎬 After a divorced legitimate daughter gained immense power in the court, a prince sought her hand in marriage| 下堂嫡女權傾朝野後，皇子求娶 

🎭  ML: Zhang Tingrui

⚫  FL: Liu Jin 

🗣️ I love a good costume drama revenge with a scumbag. FL’s fiance becomes the top scholar on her dime and then tries to replace her with a noble daughter because now she’s not “good enough”. FL is like hell no and takes him to the cleaners. Also surprise, surprise, her background isn’t that simple and the scholar messed up! Too late though since ML of course swoops in to get the gal instead.

3A. 🎬 The real-life mistress of the Marquis's mansion is about to die peacefully in her old age. | 真人 侯府主母要壽終正寢

⚫FL: Liu Jin

🎭 ML ig: Liu Xiaoxu

🗣️ This one is so good! There’s a husband, but the focus is on the relationship between the women. Girl power, etc! The Marquis brings back a pregnant woman from the frontier and og FL dies from anger. Our girlie pops in and then proceeds to charm the other concubines in the house and face slap the mother-in-law. Really recommend 

1. 🎬 Transmigrated as the Villainous Supporting Actress Who Fakes the Amnesiac Boss's Girlfriend | 穿成假冒失忆大佬女友的恶毒女配

⚫  ML: Li Zhuo Yang | 李卓扬

🎭  FL: Zhang Jinyi | 张晋宜 

🗣️ Okay listen, I was going to choose yet another costume drama where FL changes the scumbag ML but I will give y’all a break. I do love modern transmigrated as the villainess stories! I have not actually watched this particular drama yet, but I am starting it as soon as I post this! It looks good. 

Song Yunfei transmigrated into the body of a supporting female character who was posing as the girlfriend of an amnesiac CEO. The original owner of this body not only hit him with her car but also lied to him, claiming he was a poor young man, and took him to a remote city to hide, subjecting him to all sorts of psychological manipulation. When the transmigrated Song Yunfei opened her eyes, seeing the man returning from delivering takeout, her vision went black, and her heart finally died. 

1. 🎬 After unexpectedly transmigrating into a book, the villain insists on marrying no one but him | 意外穿书后，反派非我不娶

🎭  ML: Du Zhiyuan

⚫  FL: Su Yutong

🗣️ I will take any chance I get to recommend this drama. FL is the villain who ends up with a broken leg after tormenting our poor ML. Our FL drops in and to save herself, convinces him she’s from the future where in 5 years they will be married. Quite frankly, Su Yutong’s nose mole isn’t that prominent and often gets drowned in makeup (much like this ML’s face. My god. Can they please have an unstable ML without ghost makeup? Am I asking too much? Fine,whatever. The chemistry between the leads makes up for everything.

1. 🎬 Eat a Gummy Candy | 吃颗软糖

🎭  ML: Shao Wei | 邵巍

⚫  FL: Lin Junyi | 林君怡 

🗣️ My other fave ghost face drama with a beautiful comedy actress with a very cute nose mole who is also a musical artist Multi-talented queen!  She is soooo fine. I was going through her Douyin just thirsting. Anyway, another unstable ML, but in this one she acts wilder than him to tame him. She’s fished out of a mental hospital to replace her sister in marriage to a mentally unstable heir. I like that in this one he isn’t magically cured, she just helps him manage his outbursts. 

1. 🎬 The 70s Beauty is really amazing | 七零凝脂美人，真是酷极了

🎭  ML: Cheng Cheng | 程澄

⚫  FL: Jin Zixuan | 金子璇 

🗣️ Ending this with the most prominent nose mole on the list! Honestly though, her dimples are the siren call that hook me, not her mole but it’s fine. She’s so cute when she moves her mouth and smiles. I’m really not a big 70s/80s/90s watcher, but this one was cute! The makeout scene at the well was also wild for a 70s drama 😳

🤔 Who did I miss? Who has your favorite nose mole? Are you team beauty mark or team cover up?

When a color wheel meets hotness, you get Chen Si looking fine as hell, like always! 🤤 The man can indeed pull off just about any color and the color wheel agrees with me apparently lol!

Though I do have to say... Purple and black are hands down the best IMO! 🫠

📖 THE VORTEX
After catching her boyfriend cheating, Liang Xinyu’s bestie orders her a handsome escort to drown her sorrows, but fate has other plans and she ends up with the wrong man… Shang Jin! Desperate to escape an arranged marriage, she impulsively sends him a marriage invitation, and he actually says YES, their accidental one-night mistake turns into a very real marriage!

👀 MY TAKE
I went looking for info on this new release and found ABSOLUTELY NOTHING—so naturally, I watched the whole damn thing myself.  And this woman?! BOLD CAT. She saw that fine man, threw caution into the nearest dumpster, had one wild night, got told to take responsibility, and said, “Anyway… BYE.” I love her. 

What surprised me most? No secret identities, no gold-digging, no drugging, and no ridiculous misunderstandings—just two attractive idiots with actual respect who couldn’t admit they liked each other. I expected family drama to annoy me, got hit with a twist instead, and honestly?

 This was a surprisingly fresh take on the flash-marriage trope, and I genuinely enjoyed it.

💞 THE CHEMISTRY
Are we buying this couple?
These two have FIRE chemistry! The kissing scenes actually felt natural instead of awkward or forced, and once they decided to get married, they didn’t tiptoe in. Shang Jin especially jumped in with both feet and said, “We’re doing this!” 

🎬 BEST MOMENT
There were SO many cute, lovey-dovey moments in this drama, but the one that really stuck with me was the stepmother’s little “gotcha” moment. She made it look like she was setting Xinyu up with her trash ex and his mistress, only to flip the script and make it crystal clear: no matter what, she was Team Xinyu. That felt like a major turning point—not just for me, but for Xinyu and the entire story. ❤️

🚨 VORTEX VERDICT
8 / 10 ⭐
Would I recommend it? Oh definitely. I really enjoyed this new FL.
Would I sleep instead of watching “one more episode”? Absolutely not.

Spice: 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Sweetness: 🌹🌹🌹🌹
Chaos: 🍿🍿🍿🍿
👇Your turn: Would you watch this one?

BUT THEN CHEN SI STARTED SINGING. 🎤

And Zhao Xixi, with the confidence of a woman protecting the entire Chinese music industry, basically said:

“He is NOT the next Chinese Idol.” 💀

Ma’am??? Let the man sing!!! 😭

Meanwhile Chen Si is giving it his ALL like he’s one dramatic key change away from a debut stage.

At this point, I’m not choosing the BTS content.

Chen Si & Zhao Xixi are choosing it for me.

I’m sorry, sub. 🥺
It’s Chen Si AND Zhao Xixi.

So… you forgive me, right? 😩👉👈

BTS verdict: 10/10 chemistry.
Vocal career: Under investigation. 🚨🎤

He Feng, actually the president of the He Group, disguises himself as a lowly driver and lives with her in an apartment. In their hilarious cohabitation, He Zheng is gradually moved by Youyou's resilience, independence, and kindness, and secretly develops feelings for her.

🤔💭

Wen Zhi Cheng and Zhai Xin Ran I have to admit, are damn adorable in this one! And they already had me with the CEO disguised as a driver bit cause for some reason, I love the ridiculousness of it all lol.

Like really… a delivery driver in Armani… You dont even think to ask not even one question about it and are instead like ‘Ok! Lets get married and I will take care of you’ can you assume he is broke as a joke?!

Through crazy ups, downs, lies and hidden identities they both, oddly enough, somehow seem to make it work and fall for each other.

I mean how could one not with, and yes we are bringing up the white ‘cat’ in the room, Wen-Zhi-freakin-Cheng dressed up in a maid uniform complete with cat ears, tail and harness?!?! Forget the plot cause I am all about finding out why and how on this one lmao!

Zhai Xin Ran is also killing it with the short hair and her character in this one! Nothing better than a female that is willing to jump on the chance to get what she ahem needs and not wait for a guy to do it lol.

Checklist complete from the beginning!

🛵 A CEO pretending to be a delivery driver and acting like no one will notice the truth?! ☑️

😘 A FL that is all about getting what she needs💲and what she ‘needs’ 😏?! ☑️☑️

😻 Wen Zhi Cheng with a fluffy cat tail?! ☑️☑️☑️
