[edit] Plot
Myolie (Shi Yi/Tian Li) plays the daughter of a bandit and she married into the "Ling" family by coincidence. When she was escaping from the guards, she fled to a place where the bride will be married to the "Ling" family. But the bride, Makai Yin-Han, had already eloped with another man. Therefore, in order to escape from the guards, Myolie had to be the imposter of Makai Yin-Han. Myolie's mother-in-law, Liza, is very barbaric. They always argue with each other and Myolie's husband, Bosco, always get caught in between. He had to please Liza as well as Myolie.
Bosco (Ning Mao Chun) plays a very timid guy. He is always afraid of this and that. But no one knows that he is actually a hero that uses his martial arts to steal from the corrupted officials and takes the money and gives it to the poor. He is known as Bu Liu Ming, or Nameless [which literally translates into "not leaving name"]. There was one time when he appeared in a Charity Function and wanted to teach the corrupted Official a lesson. And, he also saved Myolie. From that day onwards, Myolie found herself falling in love with Pat Lau Ming. Bosco began to like Myolie too. But, he got jealous of himself as Myolie was fond of Pat Lau Ming but not fond of his usual self...
[edit] Name of series
The title in Chinese translates to "My Barbaric Mother-in-law". The title appears to be inspired by the Chinese title for My Sassy Girl, which is also based on the premise of a barbaric, unreasonable female.
