The drama is actually great upto ep27 nd first half of ep28. what ruined it is they changed the ending nd conclusion from the novel. They didn't even show nanya returning back just kept it in the background https://www.hetushu.com/book/4305/index.html
LFL sent Chen Ling to lie to Nan Ya that Zhou Luo has pleaded guilty as the police were suspicious of the knife wound. (actually Zhou Luo didn't) So Nan Ya went to the police station and said she was the one who killed Xu Yi and Zhou Luo was just a part of her plan to get away with the murder. Nan Ya got sentenced for 10 years and Zhou Luo for 10 months. In reality xu yi actually killed himself while forcefully putting the knife in nanyas hand. 6 years of life were taken from nanya, nd Zhou Luo couldn't go for university anymore... 6 Years later, they show that Zhou Luo didn't leave the town and opened a Game Store at Nan Ya's old clothing shop and also taking care of wanwan. . Later on the police fixed the recorded tape that was found damaged and found out that Xu Yi killed himself. So Nan Ya's years were reduced. But they didn't show Nan Ya and Zhou Luo together in the end.. Left it ambiguous
The ending was thousand times better in the novel where Nan ya left the town with her daughter and became a successful CEO and Zhou Luo was also working ...they met 8 years later and it was a happy ending ..

I wanted Nan Ya to be rich after what she has been through ...Sad
