Meanwhile, on the other side of the planet, in Jingxiu, Xia Jingshi continues to be a complete a**hole to Xi Yang and she is spiraling towards despair as she has basically landed in hell. It's really difficult to watch her story play out. The dynamic between psychotic Murong Yao and his father (one of the few sane people) is also completely messed up. So many crazies in this drama.
