She started her career almost unexpectedly, from posting photos and little acting videos online, and eventually found herself working with directors and so many different actors. But despite being exposed to the entertainment industry, she somehow remained so humble, gentle, and genuinely warm.
Thatâs probably what I admire most about her. She doesnât seem to carry herself like someone who thinks sheâs better than others. Sheâs quiet, respectful, soft-spoken, and seems to appreciate the people around her. Even with all the attention she gets now, she still has that very down-to-earth quality.
And knowing how much love and protection she seems to have received from her family, especially her dad, I honestly feel like she grew up knowing what being treated gently feels like. So when I see her, Iâm like⌠girl, please donât settle for anyone who doesnât have the same kindness and manners you have. đ
Because with all the actors and people in the industry sheâll meet, there will always be people who are kind and respectfulâand probably some who are the complete opposite. And knowing how soft-hearted and humble she is, I just hope she always knows her worth.
So yes, maybe she deserves no one. đ Or at least, no one who canât treat her like the rare, precious person she is. đ¤
And no, itâs not purely AI. I still have to spend time reading the novel, understanding whatâs happening, choosing the important scenes and details, checking the characters and events, then organizing everything into a shorter and easier-to-read recap. AI just helps me with the wording, translation, and formatting.
So yes, I use AI as a tool. Iâm not pretending I manually typed every single word from scratch. âşď¸
Guys, if youâre waiting for the drama starring Lu Yuxiao and Zhang Linghe, this is basically the story of the whole novelânot just Luowei and Song Lingâs romance. Iâm including the political conspiracy, Song Lan, Yu Qiushi, Chang Zhao/Ye Kun, Song Yaofeng, the Jintian case, the side characters, the ending, and even the extra chapters.
So if you donât want to know almost everything before the drama airs, seriously⌠stop here. đ
Where the story really begins
By the time we reach Chapter 6, Luowei is already living in a world completely different from the one she imagined when she was young.
The Crown Prince Song Ling, her childhood sweetheart and the man she was supposed to marry, was attacked during the Lantern Festival and disappeared. With no body recovered and the truth buried under politics, his disappearance became connected to what would eventually be remembered as the Ci Tang/Thorn-of-the-Tang case.
His deathâor what everyone believed was his deathâwasnât just a personal tragedy for Luowei.
It destabilized the entire court.
Powerful families moved quickly. Political factions fought for control. Song Lingâs younger brother Song Lan was pushed onto the throne while still surrounded by people who wanted to use him, especially those with their own agendas.
And Luowei made one of the biggest decisions of her life:
She married Song Lan.
Not because she had stopped loving Song Ling.
Not because Song Lan replaced him.
She did it because the royal family was collapsing, the court was unstable, and staying beside Song Lan gave her both the political position to protect what remained and the opportunity to keep investigating what really happened to Song Ling.
From this point on, Luowei isnât simply a grieving woman.
She becomes a political player.
She learns how to survive inside the palace, how to read people, how to use influence, and how to hide what she is really thinking.
And then Ye Tingyan enters the story.
⸝
Ye Tingyan â the man who knows too much
Ye Tingyan initially appears almost like the opposite of the Song Ling Luowei remembers.
He is difficult to predict, sharp, sometimes reckless, and willing to do things that make Luowei question what kind of person he really is.
During the early investigations, especially around the Spring Banquet and the cases that begin appearing around the court, Ye Tingyan repeatedly puts himself right in the middle of danger.
And Luowei starts working with him.
Not because she completely trusts him.
Actually, for a long time, she doesnât.
But he keeps proving useful.
He sees details other people miss.
He understands politics.
He understands crime.
And most strangelyâŚ
he understands Luowei.
Sometimes far too well.
The story then moves through several investigations, including the Western Garden death case and the mystery surrounding Zhang Siyi. The cases might initially look separate, but slowly the novel begins showing us that almost nothing happening in the capital is truly isolated.
The investigations reveal networks of political loyalty, old crimes, hidden identities, and people who have spent years protecting secrets.
Meanwhile, Ye Tingyanâs own physical condition makes him even more mysterious. He spends time recovering in places like the Qiong Ting Archive, and Luowei becomes increasingly involved in his affairs.
The more they investigate together, the more she notices strange things.
He knows places he shouldnât know.
He reacts emotionally to memories that have nothing to do with âYe Tingyan.â
He understands things about Song Ling that should be impossible for an outsider.
And despite herself, Luowei begins trusting him.
Thatâs what makes their relationship so interesting.
She doesnât suddenly forget Song Ling and fall for a new man.
Her heart is reacting to someone familiar before her mind understands why.
⸝
Meanwhile, Song Lan is changing
While Luowei and Ye Tingyan investigate the truth, Song Lan is slowly becoming more complicated.
He began as the younger prince who spent his life beneath Song Lingâs shadow.
Song Ling was the Crown Prince.
The admired one.
The beloved one.
The person people naturally expected to rule.
Song Lan grew up with a deep sense of inferiority and loneliness, and once he became Emperor, those feelings didnât simply disappear.
They became mixed with power.
Yu Qiushi and other political forces also play a huge role in shaping what happens around him.
And this is important: Song Lan isnât written as someone who wakes up one morning and randomly becomes cruel.
His resentment grows.
His suspicion grows.
His need for control grows.
And his feelings toward Luowei become tangled with dependence, possessiveness, politics, and his lifelong comparison with Song Ling.
Luowei is his Empress.
But she was originally supposed to belong beside his older brother.
That fact never completely disappears from their marriage.
Luowei also takes measures to avoid becoming pregnant during her marriage to Song Lan. The incense she uses becomes part of another betrayal when Song Lan knows what she is doing and secretly tampers with it, eventually damaging her health. The novel does not directly state that this permanently caused infertility, but it becomes an important part of the physical harm Luowei suffers during this period.
So by this point, their marriage is becoming less a partnership and more another battlefield.
⸝
And then Luowei discovers the truth about Ye Tingyan
This is where everything changes.
Luowei enters Ye Tingyanâs private study even though she isnât supposed to.
And inside, she begins finding things she cannot explain away anymore.
Familiar writings.
Objects connected to memories only she and Song Ling should share.
The old plum.
The red Lament for Jintian.
And most importantly, a crescent-shaped seal connected to âLing Yeââsomething tied directly to Song Ling and to Luowei herself.
Piece by piece, every strange moment suddenly makes sense.
Why Ye Tingyan knew her so well.
Why he reacted to Song Lingâs memories.
Why she kept feeling that impossible familiarity whenever she was with him.
There is only one answer.
Ye Tingyan is Song Ling.
The man Luowei spent years mourningâŚ
was alive.
And he had been standing beside her.
The reveal doesnât immediately become some perfect romantic reunion.
Luowei is hurt.
She mourned him.
She changed her entire life because she believed he was gone.
She entered a political marriage.
She survived years in court.
Meanwhile, Song Ling had been alive under another name.
But Song Ling also had reasons for remaining hidden. His survival was tied to the larger conspiracy, and revealing himself too early could have destroyed everything they were trying to uncover.
His greatest fear is not only that Luowei will be angry.
Itâs that after everything he has lived through as Ye Tingyan, she will no longer see Song Ling when she looks at him.
But she does.
Not because of his face.
Not because of his title.
Because she knows him.
That becomes one of the central ideas of their relationship: Luowei loved Song Ling before, then unknowingly found herself drawn to Ye Tingyan, only to realize she had essentially found the same person twice.
After the truth is finally out, they make a decision that becomes very important later:
no more hiding things from each other.
They stop operating as two people secretly trying to protect one another.
They become true partners.
⸝
But the bigger conspiracy is only getting worse
At this point, the novel becomes much larger than their reunion.
The mystery of Song Lingâs disappearance connects back to the Jintian case, old political purges, false accusations, the northern conflict, the royal family, and the enormous influence of people like Yu Qiushi.
Names that initially seemed unrelated start connecting.
Old âtraitorsâ turn out to have much more complicated stories.
And one of the biggest revelations involves Chang Zhao.
Chang Zhao is eventually revealed to be Ye Kun, the eldest son of the Ye family and once a celebrated young general.
His story is one of the saddest in the entire novel.
Ye Kun had once been loyal.
But betrayal, false accusations, political manipulation, and abandonment destroyed the life he should have had.
He was branded in ways that separated him from the person he had once been, and over time he became Chang Zhao.
His story becomes one of the strongest examples of the novelâs main theme:
people are responsible for what they become, but the world can also play a terrible role in creating them.
This becomes even clearer much later in the alternate timeline, where Song Ling reaches Ye Kun before everything collapses. When Ye Kun finally has someone powerful enough to believe that he never betrayed the country, his entire future changes. Pasted markdown(20260916-075548).md
Thatâs why Chang Zhao is not simply a âvillain.â
He is also a warning about what injustice can create.
⸝
Yu Qiushi is another complicated figure
Yu Qiushi becomes one of the most important political forces in the story.
He is intelligent, capable, politically experienced, and not someone who can easily be reduced to âevil minister.â
Thatâs actually why heâs dangerous.
He has beliefs.
He has reasons.
He believes certain sacrifices can be justified in the name of stability, politics, family, or the state.
But the novel keeps asking us:
How many people can you sacrifice before your great political ideal becomes just another form of cruelty?
That difference is important between people like Yu Qiushi and the ideals Song Ling and Luowei eventually try to follow.
They all understand power.
But they do not agree on what people are worth.
⸝
Song Lan becomes increasingly isolated
As more truth surfaces, Song Lanâs paranoia and resentment worsen.
His conflict is no longer only political.
Song Ling is alive.
Think about what that means for Song Lan.
The brother he had lived beneath is back.
The man whose position he inherited is back.
And Luoweiâthe woman now sitting beside Song Lan as Empressâwas Song Lingâs first love and intended Crown Princess.
So Song Lingâs return threatens everything at once:
his throne,
his identity,
his relationship with Luowei,
and the entire story Song Lan has built around his own place in the world.
This is why the triangle between them is not a normal romance triangle.
Luowei never simply chooses between two men she loves equally.
Her deepest love has always been Song Ling.
With Song Lan, the relationship is tied to duty, protection, politics, survival, and later mistrust.
With Song Ling, it is tied to childhood, shared ideals, lost years, recognition, and eventually a partnership they rebuild as adults.
⸝
The truth behind the old cases finally starts coming together
The investigation eventually brings the characters back to the old political crimes surrounding Song Lingâs disappearance and the Jintian/Thorn-of-the-Tang incident.
People who had been labeled guilty begin to be reexamined.
The courtâs version of history starts collapsing.
The story involving Song Qi, Yang Zhong, Zuo Chenjian, Liu Fuliang, and the huge number of people implicated in the Jintian poems is eventually reopened.
Yu Qiushiâs testimony becomes an important part of finally exposing the truth.
Another major revelation concerns Grand Empress Dowager Chenghui, whose connection to Etru and the northern political conspiracy becomes crucial.
Song Lanâs own biological background also becomes surrounded by uncertainty and political danger.
And the most important thing is that, by this point, solving the case is no longer only:
âWho tried to kill Song Ling?â
It becomes:
How many lives were destroyed because powerful people were allowed to rewrite truth?
⸝
Luowei herself is also fighting to survive
During all of this, Luoweiâs health becomes a serious issue because of the poison she had been exposed to.
The condition is known as Clear Tears.
For a while, this becomes another race against time.
But she is eventually completely cured using the final Withered Orchid connected to Song Lan.
And even this part fits the novelâs complicated relationship with Song Lan.
He hurts her deeply.
But his role in the story cannot be described with only one emotion.
There are moments of dependence, attachment, resentment, cruelty, regret, and the remnants of the younger person he once was.
That complexity is exactly why his story hurts.
⸝
The final struggle
Eventually, the balance of power collapses.
Song Ling and Luowei gather enough allies and evidence to challenge the forces controlling the court.
The northern threat is also dealt with.
Chang Zhaoâs story reaches its final judgment.
The old cases are reopened.
People falsely implicated in the Jintian affair are formally cleared.
The empire finally begins confronting the lies that had shaped years of political violence.
Song Ling ultimately becomes Emperor.
And Luowei becomes Empress.
But this is where their childhood dream becomes important.
They never wanted power simply because they wanted to rule.
Even when they were young, their idea was basically:
If we have the ability to make peopleâs lives better, then that is why power matters.
They had already begun learning that lesson as teenagers in Xu Province when a locust disaster struck. Luowei could have returned safely to the capital, but after seeing ordinary people suffering and seeing Song Ling staying behind to help with relief, she chose to stay too. Pasted markdown(20260916-075242).md
That ideal survives everything that happens later.
Not unchanged.
But stronger.
⸝
Emperor Song Ling and Empress Luowei
Their married life after all the political chaos is honestly one of the most satisfying parts of the extras.
They rule together.
Luowei isnât treated like a decorative Empress.
She has real authority.
Song Ling respects her judgment.
And he keeps the promise he made when they were young:
he does not take another consort.
That promise matters because Luowei had been terrified of imperial marriage since childhood after witnessing how palace life affected the previous Empress.
As teenagers, Song Ling had promised her that after they fulfilled their responsibilities, they could eventually leave the palace and live an ordinary life. Pasted markdown(20260916-075242).md
And their married relationship still has the same teasing energy.
At one point Luowei becomes angry because Song Ling keeps neglecting himself while buried in government work.
She refuses to let him into her chambers.
So this Emperorâafter surviving conspiracies, war, assassination, and years of political struggleâbasically ends up trying to win his own wife back like heâs secretly courting her again. đ
He even recreates some of the old Ye Tingyan atmosphere when meeting her privately.
So publicly:
Emperor and Empress.
Privately:
still Song Ling and Luowei arguing, teasing each other, and remembering who they were before the throne.
⸝
Song Yaofeng also becomes incredibly important
One thing I really hope the drama doesnât reduce is Song Yaofeng.
Her life is almost a second coming-of-age story inside the novel.
When she was young, she was bright, carefree, and protected by people like Song Ling and Luowei.
She once admired Ye Kun deeply. She gave him a rose before he left, and that young admiration remained one of the brightest memories of her youth. Pasted markdown(20260916-082112).md
Later, after political tragedy changes everyone around her, she matures.
She also becomes connected to Yu Suigou, whose feelings for her go back to childhood.
Their relationship is much quieter and more tragic than Song Ling and Luoweiâs.
Song Yaofeng eventually survives all of those losses and becomes politically important in her own right.
Years later, Song Ling chooses Song Yaofeng as his heir apparent.
And this is huge.
A woman becomes the chosen successor.
She eventually rules as Empress for ten years before willingly passing power to her younger brother once she believes he is mature enough to rule.
Then she leaves the palace and finally lives freely. Pasted markdown(20260916-082140).md
Her story is basically another version of the novelâs message:
power is something you should be willing to release once your responsibility is finished.
⸝
The official ending looks tragic⌠but it isnât
Eventually history records the deaths of Song Ling and Luowei.
For a moment, it sounds devastating.
After everything they survived, are they really just gone?
But then the extra chapters reveal the truth.
They faked their deaths.
đ
After giving years of their lives to the empire, they finally do exactly what they promised each other when they were young.
They leave.
The Emperor and Empress âdie.â
But Song Ling and Luowei finally get to live.
They walk through Biandu as ordinary people.
They see the country they helped change.
They travel.
They revisit old places.
They see old friends.
They return to the memories of Ye Tingyanâs life.
They talk about the future in the simplest possible wayâhomes, animals, flowers, mountains, old age.
Their final reward isnât the throne.
Itâs ordinary life.
The thing they had almost been denied forever.
They finally get to grow old together.
⸝
Then Chapter 108 takes us back to their childhood
And honestly, this extra makes their entire main-story relationship even more emotional.
We see Song Ling and Luowei before everything went wrong.
Luowei witnesses the sadness hidden inside imperial marriage and becomes afraid of becoming Empress herself.
Song Ling misunderstands her fear and spends years thinking:
Maybe she doesnât actually want me.
We see them in Xu Province helping people during disaster relief.
We see their shared idealism forming.
We see the Lantern Festival where Song Ling gets jealous of Yan Lang because Luowei had been spending time with him.
Song Ling doesnât admit heâs jealous.
He just acts upset because:
âYou didnât wait for me.â đ
Later Song Ling finally tells Luowei that if she loves another person, he will step aside rather than use an imperial engagement to trap her.
And that is when Luowei finally makes him understand that the person she loves is him.
This side story confirms that long before the political tragedy, these two were already dreaming about a future where they would help the country and then eventually escape palace life together.
⸝
Chapter 109 â the âwhat ifâ timeline
This chapter might actually change how you see the entire novel.
Song Ling gets another chance at the past.
He wakes up young again with his memories of everything that went wrong.
And suddenly the novel asks:
What if someone had acted earlier?
Song Ling intervenes before Ye Kunâs life is destroyed.
Ye Kun never becomes Chang Zhao.
He exposes political dangers earlier.
Song Lan receives a very different childhood environment.
And instead of growing into the bitter, suspicious ruler we knew, Song Lan becomes warm and easygoing. Pasted markdown(20260916-075548).md
The massive Jintian disaster never happens the same way.
More than a thousand people who suffered in the original timeline are able to live peacefully. Pasted markdown(20260916-075548).md
And that is probably the saddest revelation of all:
so many tragedies in the original story were preventable.
Not destiny.
Not fate.
Just one bad decision after another until there was no way back.
⸝
Chapters 111â112 â Song Yaofengâs story
These chapters go deeper into Song Yaofengâs relationships.
We see her youthful admiration for Ye Kun.
We see Yu Suigou remembering the kindness she once showed him.
Later they marry under extremely complicated political circumstances.
Song Yaofeng and Luowei even have to perform distance between themselves publicly while continuing to understand each other privately.
There is a beautiful farewell between Luowei and Yaofeng where you really feel that their relationship has changed from two protected girls growing up together into two women who now have to make their own decisions. Pasted markdown(20260916-082140).md
Yaofengâs story includes great loss, but it does not end with her life being defined by grief.
She continues.
She leads.
She eventually rules.
She eventually chooses freedom.
⸝
Chapters 113â114 â Yu Suiyun and Su Shiyu
And then the novel closes with another completely different kind of love story.
Yu Suiyun and Su Shiyu have feelings that never really get the chance to become a normal relationship.
Politics stands between them.
Family stands between them.
Their positions stand between them.
Su Shiyu understands that connecting the Su and Yu families too closely could become politically dangerous.
Suiyun eventually enters the palace.
Years pass.
They meet again.
And there is always this feeling of:
What would we have been if the world around us had been different?
Their story is full of restraint, missed timing, peach blossoms, old memories, and feelings that never fully disappear.
Itâs deliberately different from Song Ling and Luowei.
Song Ling and Luowei are the love that survives long enough to finally be lived.
Suiyun and Shiyu are the love that mostly survives as memory.
And that is where the complete novel ends. Pasted markdown(20260916-082655).md
⸝
So for everyone waiting for Lu Yuxiao and Zhang LingheâŚ
This is why I really hope people donât expect Ci Tang to be just another historical romance.
Yes, Luowei and Song Ling are the heart of it.
Their story is beautiful:
childhood sweethearts,
separation,
a hidden identity,
finding each other again,
becoming political partners,
ruling together,
and finally growing old together.
But the world around them is just as important as the romance.
Song Lan shows what loneliness and resentment can become.
Ye Kun/Chang Zhao shows what false judgment can destroy.
Yu Qiushi shows how dangerous âgood intentionsâ become when people turn into expendable pieces.
Song Yaofeng shows that surviving loss doesnât mean your life is over.
Yu Suiyun and Su Shiyu show that some feelings are real even when they never get their perfect timing.
And the Ci Tang/Jintian case itself shows what happens when powerful people are allowed to decide which version of history becomes the truth.
So if the drama follows the novel closely, Lu Yuxiao wonât simply be playing a woman avenging her first love, and Zhang Linghe wonât simply be playing a mysterious man hiding his identity.
Theyâre playing two idealists who lose almost everything that made their younger selves innocentâ
and somehow still refuse to become the kind of people who destroyed their world.
And maybe that is why the ending feels so satisfying.
After spending their whole lives carrying other people, solving old injustices, surviving politics, and trying to make the country betterâŚ
they finally choose themselves.
No throne.
No titles.
No court.
Just Song Ling and Luoweiâ
finally free enough to watch the sunset together, exactly like they dreamed when they were young.
They grew up together, and for Luowei, Song Ling wasnât just the Crown Prince. He was the person she had always believed would remain by her side.
But on the Lantern Festival night of the third year of Tianshou, everything changed.
During a state sacrificial ceremony, Crown Prince Song Ling was assassinated.
Except his body was never found.
The mysterious incident became known as the âCi Tang Case,â and with the Crown Prince gone, chaos spread through the court. Powerful aristocratic clans rebelled and placed his younger brother, Song Lan, on the throne as a puppet emperor.
Luowei had just lost the man she loved most.
But instead of leaving the palace behind, she chose to protect the younger brother Song Ling had cared about.
She married Song Lan and became Empress.
Not because she loved him.
She did it to investigate the Ci Tang Case, suppress the rebellion, and protect the person she believed Song Ling would have wanted her to protect.
For years, Luowei helped Song Lan break free from the aristocratic clans and strengthen his throne. She believed every sacrifice she made was honoring the memory of the Crown Prince.
Until she discovered the truth.
Song Lan was not another victim of the Ci Tang Case.
He was the mastermind behind it.
The man she had protected, the Emperor she had helped rise to power, was the same man responsible for Crown Prince Song Lingâs downfall.
Worse, Luowei realized she had unknowingly been used as part of his plan.
That was when her grief turned into revenge.
If she helped build Song Lanâs throne, then she would be the one to destroy it.
But bringing down an Emperor was impossible without someone powerful enough to strike from inside the court.
So Luowei turned to Ye Tingyan, also played by Zhang Linghe.
Cold, brilliant, and deeply trusted by Song Lan, Ye Tingyan seemed like the perfect weapon.
But Luowei had no idea who he really was.
Ye Tingyan was Crown Prince Song Ling.
He survived the Ci Tang Case.
After losing his identity, position, and everything he once had, he changed his appearance and returned to court under a new name, determined to punish everyone who had betrayed him.
And in his eyes, Su Luowei was one of them.
Because while he was gone, the woman he had loved since childhood married his younger brother, became Empress, and helped Song Lan secure the throne that should have been his.
He believed she had chosen Song Lan.
He believed she had betrayed him.
Until Luowei began getting closer to Ye Tingyan.
She trusted him more than an Empress should. She crossed boundaries, gave him special favor, and slowly revealed that something about her loyalty to Song Lan was not what it seemed.
The closer Ye Tingyan watched her, the more his hatred began to crack.
Luowei wasnât protecting Song Lan.
She was secretly preparing to destroy him.
One believed the man she loved was dead.
The other believed the woman he loved had betrayed him.
Neither knew that after all those years, they were still fighting for each other.
Then one night, Luowei rested her head on Ye Tingyanâs shoulder and quietly asked,
âLord Ye, werenât you curious about what I seek?â
Then she gave him the answer he never expected.
âGo and kill Song Lan.â
âAvenge my Crown Prince for me.â
And in that moment, Ye Tingyan finally understood.
The woman he thought had betrayed him had never stopped loving Crown Prince Song Ling.
She had been trying to avenge him all along.
And Luowei still had no idea that the Crown Prince she had mourned for yearsâŚ
was sitting right beside her.
Reading your Weibo post moved me deeply. Knowing how different your life is from Nanyiâs, I couldnât help but feel emotional. You grew up surrounded by love and protection, while Nanyi had to fight through countless hardships just to survive.
I canât imagine what it must have felt like to portray her, especially knowing how soft-hearted and compassionate you are. Carrying her pain, loneliness, and struggles must have been incredibly difficult, yet you brought her to life with so much understanding and sincerity.
As someone who has already read the novel, I can feel how much love and respect you have for her. Your words did not sound like an actress talking about a roleâthey felt like a heartfelt farewell to someone who became part of your soul.
Thank you for loving Nanyi enough to understand her pain, her courage, and her desire to keep living.
Thank you for finding Nanyi, and for letting her find you. â¤ď¸

Dear Lu Yu Xiao,
The entertainment industry can be cruel, especially for someone soft-hearted. When people constantly criticize you, judge every move you make, and turn everything you do into something negative, itâs easy to start doubting yourself. But remember this: not everyone watching you secretly hates you. There are still people who genuinely believe in you, support you, and appreciate the person you are beyond the noise.
Focus on the people who pray for your success, defend your name when youâre not around, and continue supporting you even during your lowest moments. Those are the people who deserve your energy â not the strangers who only watch your life to find something to criticize.
Not every opinion deserves a place in your heart. Some people bash others because of their own pain, insecurity, or jealousy. Donât let their negativity become louder than the love and support surrounding you.
Being sensitive doesnât make you weak. It means you have a heart that still feels deeply in a world that often becomes cold. Protect that heart. Stay kind, keep growing, and continue shining without apologizing for who you are.
Real strength is choosing peace, believing in yourself, and moving forward despite all the noise around you.
Help, how do I recover from this shameless couple? LOL. No other drama hits the same after Love in the Clouds. Their chemistry literally ruined my standards đ
