Choice Husband

Shen Mia is the daughter of the wealthiest man in Yangzhou City. Although she has wealth and beauty, no one dares marry her. Potential grooms consider her jinxed since two former fiancés ran away before their weddings. Shen Miao will meet a talented young scholar named Pei Yan Zhen, beginning a fantastic love story.

Directed by Dian Xian, Choice Husband leans on a strong ensemble — Sophie Zhang, Xing Zhaolin, Riley Wang — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The series landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2023.
