The DramaNext guide
What False Debt of Gratitude is about
Billionaire heiress Shi An was disfigured saving Ji Yanli in childhood. After years of secret love, she marries him through an arranged union, only to face his coldness. She heals her scars and regains her beauty, stunning everyone under her secret author identity. Ji Yanli begins his regretful chase. Plagued by scheming rivals, kidnapping and misunderstandings, he finally learns Shi An was his savior.
It runs 91 short episodes on HappyShort and leans on billionaire, marriage drama and contract relationship tropes, with each episode ending on a hook.
Is it worth watching?
The draw here is the hidden-wealth reveals and the people who misjudged the lead. On top of that: a marriage that starts on the wrong foot and has to be earned.
The whole series takes roughly 2–3 hours, so it's an easy binge.
