Tomorrow, I know I will cry with Lu Lixiao. In today's bridge scene, I found him to be like a big puppy, scared and looking for comfort from his owner. I usually hate breakups in plots, but I think this one makes sense given what is happening in the story.

I really like this series. I wish it had been a bit longer, but overall, it had a good plot and good chemistry. Also, with just a few places, they managed to develop a really nice and interesting story.

This last chapter is emotional terrorism. It started out so beautifully with the dinner and then the unofficial confession, moving on to the preparation for the official confession, only to end with the grandmother's death.

thank you so much ❤️

completely agree. somehow it feels something off and I don't know they are going to resolve ML issue.

thank so much ❤️

thank you so much ❤️

I don't understand anything about this show. So, the SML is the ML's brother, but since he's the ML's stepbrother, does that make him the FL's stepbrother too?
Aside from that, how many girlfriends has Mr. Lu had?

Jajajaja, asi suelen ser mis reseñas, normalmente hago un comentario general y luego son comentarios de mis impresiones de cada episodio y la reaccion que tengo .
Mi recomendación es 100% si, miratelo y despues si puedes y quieres lee la novela (hay una discursión y ahí esta el link de la novela tanto en inglés como en español, subí yo el link en español). Por este orden primero serie, luego novela. A mi me ha enganchado muchisimo, tengo que admitir que para que me obsesione y me guste una serie tanto influye verla en emisión y estar esperando semana tras semana cada episodio. Tal vez, no me hubiera impactado tanto si me la hubiera visto del tiron, pero viendola semana tras semana, unido a los directos y los detras de escenas , te hace que te sumerjas mas en la historia.
Espero que si te miras la serie te guste ⸜(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝♡

Hi, does anyone have a novel link where I can read it? (˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶) ‹𝟹

You are welcome ☺️ and no unfortunately

🍉 This symbol means there is a rumor or no official confirmation yet. When you see a watermelon emoji in any Chinese drama discussion, it means gossip.When a Chinese drama fan account posts a "melon" (瓜), they are sharing unconfirmed casting news, behind-the-scenes drama, or industry secrets. If the rumor turns out to be true, netizens call it a "sweet melon." If it is fake, they call it a "rotten melon."

Did you know a curious fact about the novel? It was originally supposed to end with the first two volumes when Yi Chen wakes up from his coma. However, due to a dream that the author, Lan Lin, had in which Lu Feng appeared, she decided to continue the story. In the dream, she was walking down a street and saw Lu Feng sitting alone on a cold curb, looking completely miserable, broken, and crying. The dream felt so intensely real and heartbreaking that Lan Lin felt immense guilt for leaving him in such total despair, so she decided to continue writing. So, these last episodes (11 and 12) are somehow a gift, you could say, because we are able to continue seeing the growth of these characters.

does anyone have a novel link or a way to read the novel?? thank you in advance 💜

Yes, for sure. The second volume is the darkest one by far, but I think it's the one where you can understand the characters and their dynamics better. Also, even though it's a great adaptation that follows the novel very closely, I personally like to read the characters' points of view and thoughts. Although the series gives certain hints, sometimes you just can't know what their motivations are.

(Disclaimer: long post with fragments from the novel)
I liked today's episode, but I missed so many moments from the novel. The most important one for me is the moment when Yi Chen blocks and protects Lu Feng. I was really hoping for that monologue/dialogue, so I just have to share it here:

From start to end, it may have been a span of less than three seconds. From the moment she pulled out the gun she had hidden in her handbag and aimed it at Lu Feng, until the time the bullet shot with an intent to kill hit me straight in the heart.
As blood started gushing out of my chest, I looked down at the spreading red stain in puzzlement. Am I the one ….. who blocked him?
How strange ….. how did I get in front of him? There obviously were not enough time to think ……
Instinctively, I just ……
I staggered and fell down.
This is actually not bad.
I am too tired, I always wanted a good rest. From now on, he will not hurt me anymore.
A sharp pain emanated from my chest. The person holding me seems to be Lu Feng. My eyes are blurred, unable to see his expressions. “Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen …….”
Are you calling me that?
Why does it sound so unfamiliar …….
“Please don’t …….”
Don’t what? Even hearing …… is becoming difficult.
If I don’t speak now, will I never again have the chance?
With great effort, I opened my mouth: ” …… I hate you.”
“I know….. ” He desperately wiped at the blood that kept welling out from the corners of my mouth, “I know, don’t talk anymore ……”
“I hate you,” I wanted to say it all with my last remaining breath, “You did that to Yi Chen ….. you caused my mom to …… you destroyed my …… you …… Wen Yang ……” I was still trying to speak, but the fresh blood rushing up my throat was gushing out in such large amount that it was impossible to.
“I know …… I know it all, you stop talking now, just wait for a while, I’ll take you to the hospital, you ……”
“…… I …… “I struggled, “…… hate you, but ……”
But, why do I feel…….
…… so sad?
…… that feeling that is deeper than hate, what is it?
The world turned silent.


Also, although I liked how they portrayed Lu Feng's moments taking care of him in the hospital, I like those scenes in the novel a lot because he explains his POV during the whole kidnapping, because in the series they only explain who is Ke Lo:

“My hate for you eats at my heart every single day, it is ingrained in my soul and it made me want to torture you without any mercy, I want to hurt you, to break you, to make you suffer like you did to me. It seems like I have succeeded …… but I could not stop my urge to touch you. I did invite Zhuo Wen Yang over that day, but I only planned to insult and shame you to his face.” I laughed bitterly, “When would I ever be so generous as to casually allow others to look at your body …… That one time I drugged you to make you touch Lin Jing, I was racked with heartache for so many days. It’s safe to say the jealousy is still there, as raw and as scary as ever, isn’t it funny?”“And that time I was a little drunk, I was looking at you, you were so close to me, yet so far …… I could not stop myself from wanting to get closer to you, so close I have to be inside you …… It wasn’t until he showed up that I remembered I made that arrangement for him to come. I really didn’t mean for that to happen.”

“I am really disgusted with myself, I hated you so much, I’ve been plotting to get back at you for so many years, but I just could not bring myself to do more to you. That night your fever came back, and you held me, sobbing and calling …… crying …… for me …… You kept calling out my name …… I was thinking at that time, should I just end it all for both of us, that would be the only way to erase the past …… Or can we forget it all, and live together like this from now on ……”

“I didn’t want to be affected by you anymore, or be swayed by you, so I abused you, deliberately ignore your suffering, I wanted to see if I can build a disdain for you so much that it would harden my heart enough to rid you off of my mind….. but I could not help but want to hold you and sleep with you, so I kept bringing back those young guys with me, but it did not work …… No matter what I did with them, it felt so empty, so unfulfilling, so meaningless …… You are the only person I desire, it had always ever been only you that I want ……”

“But you actually said you want to leave again, I was so enraged that I really wanted to break your legs ….. so you can never run away from me again …… Why do you always want to leave me? Why? In the past …… and now ……”


I have to admit that I am disappointed with the bath scene. I was hoping for more; not for it to be exactly like the novel, but at least not so heavily cut. In the trailer, it looks way better (I guess that's just my personal opinion). Also, what happened in the novel, from my personal point of view, truly shows Lu Feng and Yi Chen's feelings:

Our bodies fluctuated while being glued together, my futile struggle against the pressure of his brutal ramming slowly became lame. I seized his shoulders in disorientation, subjecting myself to his massive pumping, while my waist which was just writhing desperately, is now sore and limp, trembling passively.
He pushed me back against the rim of the tank and pushed in even deeper, holding my shoulders, his lips pressing closer to my face.
A scream escaped from me a second before his lips touched mine, my head jerked quickly to the side to avoid his kiss.
“No ……”
Don’t kiss me, you can do whatever you want to me, just don’t kiss me again ……
He did not ease off his attacks, instead cupping my chin firmly in one hand. I refused to comply, shaking my head blindly.
“No don’t ……. no ……” I had my lips pressed closed, no matter how hard he tried to tease them or pry them open, I stubbornly clenched my teeth tight.
He ran out of patience, his fingers clamped down on my cheeks, forcing me to open my mouth. My bones felt a crushing pressure as I shuddered in pain, and closed my eyes to accept the inevitable. He held onto my jaws to freeze my movements, his tongue finally invading its way in.
A bittersweetness spread out in my mouth.
Why must you insist on kissing?
Don’t you think ….. kissing implies so much more emotions than plain sex?


And last but not least, one of the core moments during the kidnapping for me is one of the nights when Yi Chen has a high fever and starts to be delirious. Lu Feng stays with him that night, and you can read that this specific night gave him the thoughts of giving up on his revenge plan:

It could be around midnight when my body temperature heated up again. I burned in high-grade fever, burying my face in the mattress and rubbing my forehead against it in a semi-conscious effort to relieve some of the discomfort. My body alternates between intense chills and hot flashes, my eyes could not open, my ears could not hear.
Someone came to hold me in my dreams. I grabbed the clothes of that person crying for my mother. In my delirium, I ended up calling another name, I called for this missing part of myself over and over again, crying so hard I could barely breath.
I really, used to, love him so much.


I hope that with these fragments you can understand the characters better, and maybe you will be willing to read the novel.

In the novel, it is Yi Chen's son who catches them. Although at that moment Lu Feng's feelings were sincere and having sex wasn't part of his revenge, it was almost as if they were reconciling. Since the series doesn't feature Yi Chen's son, I assume the camera serves the same purpose. The camera is there to monitor Yi Chen's every movement (as seen right before the bath scene), so I think that in that moment Lu Feng forgot about it. He was already deep kissing Yi Chen when, unfortunately, Yi Chen sees the camera and thinks Lu Feng is doing it on purpose, just as part of his revenge.
