How sad of outcome

So the scumbag Lu Shi Yi got the girl. I don’t think the director, producers and screenwriter set out to portrait this type of abusive relationship but rather to continue to promote that bullying, belittling a woman is acceptable behavior. In this type of abusive relationship the women end up being a helpless victim.

Xia Xiao Ju friends failed her miserably, they witness the bullying but stood by and never intervene, specially her best friend Qiu Le Tao that did nothing to stop the bullying but even encourage Xiao Ju to accept Lu Shi Yi as her boyfriend. Qiu Le Tao a woman that will never put up to this type of abuse and understood that a life with Huang Jun will be a life of betrayal so she sacrificed her love and opted for a safer relationship.

A final blow to Xia Xiao Ju self-esteem was when she had dinner with Cheng Lang and asked him if he ever liked her even a little. Cheng Lang didn’t even answer her just to say that he like her very much as a friend. But then again what is to expect from Cheng Lang? An introvert individual only concerned with his studies and later with work, happy to just have in his life a souvenir picture of his ex-girlfriend.

Lu Shi Yi, an individual with an unconscious hatred for women that found an easy prey in the happy-go-lucky Xiao Ju. He endless bullied, harassed, stalked, and belittled Xiao Ju and managed to quash her boyfriend prospects when successfully chased away her classmate. I must say from all the bullying to girls and women that I see in many of these dramas, this one takes the cake, when Lu Shi Yi pushed Xiao Ju down the stairs.

Xia Xiao Ju that fought with her mother and succeeds for her to have an equal footing in her family household, she end up with little options and prospects and succumbed to society pressures that she must marry before certain age and accepted reluctantly (her face expression say it all) Lu Shi Yi marriage proposal. How sad of outcome.
