Yes, which is after everything settled after the gunshot, they all TIRED, and that's like the very main reason why Yi Chen stayed with Lu Feng, he felt gulty he had wasted away 20 years of Lu Feng life alone.

I think the shows pretty much showed it with how tired he was in the show, I saw some comments wondering why he was that listless in the show, but knowing the context of the book, that's how Lu Feng was in mid-forties AFTER Yi Chen hospitalized.

I think if we're talking about the moment Lu Feng ended up regretting what he has done, it's not really a specific moment, but during/after YC hospitalized, Lu Feng demeanor pretty much changed. The fight with his brother pretty much was the scene where Lu Feng was like, you can do anything as long as don't leave. They changed the details, like the fight happened at Yi Chen's apartement and Lu feng basically turned everything inside out in that house from searching for Yi Chen, he looked WAY WORSE, and there is one line that they removed, where Lu Feng said if Yi Chen is going to leave might as well kill him first because there would be no different.

I think one other things that kind of my pet peeve that they removed was the scene where Yi Chen said when he got shot and was in Lu Feng arms, Yi Chen said he hate Lu Feng, and Lu Feng was like, I know don't talk anymore (cause he's bleeding), and Yi Chen continued in his monologue, that he hated him, but there is something deeper than hate in his heart.

Anyway, I kept rambling lol, but yeah, there is a couple of details that doesn't exist int he show. Sure Lu Feng was worse in the book, but it made their retribution/settling down scene very very bittersweet.

ALSO, to answer you last question, Lu Feng didn't marry, but he did have a child of a one night fling I believe, that child is Ke Luo, the show changed it to Lu Feng's nephew.

Definitely, Schizophrenia isn't just disconnected from reality in a rich people are disconnected from the working class sense or paranoia, it's really, they can't "diffferentiate" between reality and imagination, (and not the kind of "he likes me or not" but more on the line of "I can levitate", or to make it more in theme "he love it if I torture him" which mind you, Lu Feng have full awareness of what he did and the effect) which Lu Feng doesn't have the symtomp of.

If I really have to "diagnose" what Lu Feng have, I'd say it is simply separation trauma from the first time he was forced to leave Yi Chen and Obsessiveness on top of that. There is also just a simple what Lu Feng had experienced, the book, the kidnapping was after 20 years of living and suffering, building his business from being disowned by his family to founding his own company in Chinese notoriously cutthroat business industry, he resented Yi Chen for that.

again, if we're going by the book, the author never tried to justify what Lu Feng did. I think even in the extra where they take this scene, the scene was not to justify what Lu Feng did but moreso to notify the readers that LuFeng and YiCheng were trying to mend their relationship and move it from the trauma Lu Feng cause him. Mind you, even after that, their relationship wasn't perfect in the book, and LuFeng knew and admit he was the cause of it.

A Round Trip to Love is the title of the book, then adapted into the movie with the same name while the series adaptation changed the name to "Double Helix"

I think my gripe with this comparison is people who came from watching Revenged Love and expecting the same thing from double helix and was surprised it was more intense, so they blame double helix for being too much even though IT IS pretty much different genre. It's like bringing the wrong people who expected something different.

again, I see a lot of people saying this series normalizing or saying he was not wrong when the show did neither. So, again, I didn't know what's the problem. Which is again, the problem is you making the comparison with Revenged Love which is totally different genre. They are romcom, not dark romance.

nope, definition of a genre isn't what you or I decided what's true. besides, it's not really contradict itself cause abusive relationship does exist irl and refusing to talk or even represent it in media isn't helping the issue but hiding the issue from coming to light and promoting ignorance instead.

yeah, a lot of Lanlin's books had bad luck with the translation, and that guy is one of the prime suspects.

the genre is Dark Romance, so it is pretty much a thing and a recurring topic on this genre. Revenged Love is a romcom, so totally different genre, and I'll never get why people cluster both of them together.

fun fact, the Lu Feng actor of the movie was the director and producer of this show!

he's definitely closer to bipolar than schizophrenia, and that's assuming I agree that he's a bipolar, which I am not.

you're out of luck, the best translation was nuked by wattpad ten years ago, and the author did try to reupload it, but it only got to 10 chapters I believe. there were other translators tried to translate it, but there was this translator who attacked everyone translating anything he translated (despite him just got to translating the piece mind you) and basically got every other A Round Trip To Love translation nuked from the internet as well. His translation wasn't even that good, and his website got nuked from the orbit as well, so no one can have good things. sigh...

You can go to https://acupofmemory.blogspot.com/
it's the original translator, but it's only 10 chapter.

https://megajivetranslations.wordpress.com/
has it up to 3rd volume, but you have to change the url I believe by adding wordpress.

alternatively, if you want, there is a link I can give you if you want me to DM you. It'll give you a link to download the pdf, which uses 1-10 chapters from acupofmemory and the rest of vol 1-3 from megajive.

Girl, you don't even know the AUTHOR of the novel and the SCREENWRITERS of the show are different people, stand down.

If they did this in the book, I will agree with you, but he's not the obsessive homicidal maniac he is in the book. A lot of the stuffs often got, "Oh actually, I didn't do that, it's just an act to make you jealous."

I see this as another way of the movie version to be like, "Oh actually, he isn't that bad cause he had reason for acting to make Yi Chen jealous"

I will say, they definitely sanitize Lu Feng a lot on the show, even Yi Chen morphed into a Mary-sue. The Novel is a lot more... strangely enough to say this, human. The characterization of both Lu Feng and Yi Chen are pretty well written which I found lost a lot in the series from some minor and major things they changed.

If you don't mind reading the novel, it's definitely very well recommended, one of the best piece of Dark Romance imo

I don't know what part of it normalizes it... They literally had fight on the first SA, Yi Chen ran away on the 2nd SA, and he got shot after he got kidnapped. It literally split the community apart on whether to hate Lu Feng or not during the story because the story did the opposite of normalizing it, it showed you how bad it is to do that to your partner.

I don't know what's people obsession putting Revenged Love in the same theme as double helix when they are not. Especially the film adaptation, Revenged Love is definitely more romcom than dark romance.

I think you're just not the target audience. Some people who love Dark romance do understand the point of the SA scenes in these genre. Not everything is sunshine and rainbow irl afterall.

is it the one with the teacher?

It's LanLin's other book, technically I direct sequel to Nowhere to be Found, but I would describe the story as FengChen family story, so it is a sequel to A Round Trip to Love. You might want to read Love Late too to if you want to know what happened to Ke Luo during the period of Pandora's Box since they are happening at the same time.

Anyway, you should definitely read it because there is one thing about LanLin, she never had the relationship as white or black. So for me, it's not about looking at it through "good/bad" lense, but through "what is the impact of this decision" lense.

FengChen state of relationship was literally stand on with tappers, and it was merely implied at the end of vol.3, but it was a lot more portrayed in Pandora's box, that is before LinJing arrive. But LinJing is the character from Nowhere to Be found so I suggest you read that first, I personally didn't like the book that much because it was clearly LanLin's earlier work and a "prototype" to A Round Trip to Love, but it was the beginning of LanLin and had all things LanLin well known for, just not as refined.

a decision chosen out of deep love can still be wrong. Lu Feng himself said in Pandora Box that YC is making a bad decision by choosing him because he always made YC sad. (But he did say he wished YC is keeping that bad decision)
