The diversity of extra-solar planetary systems has impacted greatly on the researches of planetary science and planet formation. While the statistics of exoplanets could provide constraints on the scenarios of planet formation, characterizing planetary systems and linking exoplanet properties to the evolution processes would address the later stage of planet formation. In addition to briefly reviewing our recent accepted and submitted papers, a focus on characterizing the most misaligned compact planetary system K2-266 through the new data proposed and obtained by our team from the European space telescope CHEOPS (CHaracterising ExOPlanets Satellite) will be presented.
