There's literally no reason for her to like him.

Men with guns. That's how rights are given and protected. That's why women often appeal to other men with guns to help protect their rights.

I have a feeling they'll probably stretch it out. Hopefully they don't drag it out too long.

Does the FML reject him? Does she think about it? Does the SML become obsessed?

Any annoying love triangles?

Any annoying love triangles?

It has to do with his accident.

The first four episodes spent too much time on the FL and SML's failed romance, and it dragged for me. Episode 5 finally feels like it's moving forward, which is good. But from the previews, the SML will still be hanging around. I have no idea how long that'll last or how heavy it'll be.

I will drop this drama if:

1. If the misunderstanding between the ML and FL gets stretched out forever.

2. If they keep giving the SML tons of screen time just to shove a love triangle down our throats.

3. If the FL still has any real feelings left for the SML and hasn't fully moved on.

THANK YOU! Well said. We didn't need 4 episodes of her failed crush to understand her character.

Sure, I just didn't need 4 episodes of their almost relationship to understand that. lol

Still, we didn't need 4 whole episodes of a failed and boring almost relationship between the FL and SML.

You didn't read my comment.

It's a waste imo

"women have their own mind, strong even with their small bodies, know what they are doing and do not need saviours"

This is bullshit. We all need saviors sometimes, especially women, as they are the weaker sex. Who do you think protects women's rights where they exist? The magic fairy? It's men.

The start of this drama is so bad. Why give so much screentime to the FL and SML's failed romance? First of all, they've never explained to us why she liked him (dude has the personality of a dead fish), or why they should've been a couple.

If you're thinking of watching it but the rating has you worried and you're wondering how bad it could really be—trust me, I've seen the whole thing. It's worse.

"The poison is because he knew that he can found other alternatives. He said if he can wait for 10 years, he can wait for another 10 years to find another cure."

That's still reckless. Logically, a King of an entire nation should never put himself in this position for one woman. But the point is to show how fiercely he loves Cang Cang, even to the point of recklessness. I do concede that he sometimes put duty first, but not always.

Love isn't always pure and easy. It's often messy and complicated. There's ALWAYS a power imbalance. The idea of pure, perfect love, where man and woman stand as equals in everything, is a fantasy.

I'm not saying that their love was the best. I agree it was mostly toxic. But there was something true and pure between them. But to reduce it to a "trauma bond" is an oversimplification. But yes, let's agree to disagree.

I respectfully disagree. Their love didn't just vanish because of the mess that developed later. But really, that love is what carried them through it all, even with Xiao Huan's lies (although well-intentioned) and Cangcang's gullibility. They both were imperfect, messy people who loved deeply and recklessly, and ended up paying for it with their lives.

I understand that's not everyone's cup of tea, but I actually love how they both fought for each other and their love at key moments throughout the story. I think dismissing it as just trauma bond doesn't do justice to their love. It was fierce love.

That said, it's a tragic and frustrating love story that didn't have to end in tragedy. The script fails them because it robs them of any chance to heal later on. After all, the writer seems to have a tragedy fetish.

I might have overstated it a little. But he did risk his life for her more than once—first with the poison, and later when she was kidnapped. Although Du Ting Xin's dissent stemmed from obsessive jealousy, she was right.
