Ughhh I know it's the most rational choice but Xiao Yao seems to have such better chemistry and a deeper connection with the other male leads.
Cang Xuan and her are just ooffff---- wow. whew. their chemistry is unmatched and I love how fiercely protective he is over her. but of course, at the end of the day he chooses his country over her. even then, every time they have a scene I'm just kicking my feet and giggling.
then Xiang Lu, he honestly makes me really sad. I feel like his relationship with Xiaoyao had the most angst- because he could never get the girl. And he wanted her, but he made the decision to stop pursuing her after she expressed that Ye Shiqi was her true love. But they always got along so well and had such intimate moments it makes me sad.
then Tushan Jing.. where we do even start with this man. First of all, he never makes any facial expressions except for an occasional smirk. when the MC needs to be chased after he just stands there like... all the other male leads made such efforts with her when they're interested, whereas he just sort of stands there and does nothing. Even in the first season when she had found out he "had" Fangfeng's child, instead of chasing after her and apolgizing he stood there like.. ?? like hello? at least give the viewers a chance to like you. do something, pls.
their relationship dynamic is also very mother and son like and they have none of that sizzling chemistry she has with Xiang Lu and Cang Xuan. I know at the end of the day all she's really seeking is peace, and that's what Tushan Jing was able to provide her, but it still doesn't feel like the best match for her. When the other male leads are so much cooler and fit her so much better, why him??
