Wish we have 10 life's. On the other hand, we may really have 10 life's but we don't know it :D Guess SF has been using his 10 life's trying to figure it out too. LOL!
Lol but imagine if it's really happen, how LX and ZQ address each other? LX would be ZQ bro in law, but in the…
Ziqiu is for Mingyue. That's the only love line I can see for him because the writers have dropped hints all over the place, very subtly. Ziqiu's personality requires Mingyue's considerate and sensitive traits. Now that Zhuang Bei and Tan Can are set, just wait for the spark for this pair :)
HZQ with little orange has a little chemistry but I don't know if they will end up together, but it seems like…
Chen Ting has already hinted that Ling Xiao has never been the brother Xiao Cheng Zi wants. So I think she finds the brother she wants in Ziqiu, and for Ziqiu, his little sister has been hijacked by Ling Xiao, and now Xiao Cheng Zi comes into his life to replace that void. He has always wanted a complete family. Now he has it.
I like that they managed to represent emotional abuse through LX's mom. Abuse is often much more subtle than the…
Right! Such abuses normally exist in making the kids feel guilty, demanding them to obey to the whims of the parents. I really hate that and stand against it. Parents should never tie their love to any conditions, like, "If you listen to me, I'll love you more," "To show your filial piety, you must obey me," etc.
One thing though, all the 3 kids have no mothers, and yet all the mothers, including Zhuang Bei's mother who hires a faked girlfriend, are portrayed in a negative light. The fathers, except Li Haichao, are mostly a**h***s with no bones. It does give the message that, "Who cares to have a mother?"

Wow! Thank you. Yes, I remember that remark but didn't think much of it at the time. And yes, it now makes it even better to know the exact location of that beautiful place. Brilliant ending. Love it!
Right! Too bad many viewers interpret it wrongly hence they think it's a tragic ending. People tend to jump into conclusion without carefully understanding the scenes and all the little hints. I'm glad you see it differently now :D
Ling Xiao's nightmare is Chen Ting. If she doesn't get a redemption, it's hard for Ling Xiao to heal completely.…
For me, I've always believe in the Chinese philosophy - harmony. For all the actions our characters may take, they normally try to strive for harmony.
Even as Mingyue stands up against her mother, she's not severing ties with her. Likewise with Ling Xiao. He can't stand his mother, but his 'hole' is caused by her and he needs her to fix it. If she were just leave this world without fixing it for him, Ling Xiao will be forever broken.
From a western perspective, it is true that it's not the child's responsibility to carry the parents' burden, not quite so in a Confucius society. That's why many parents from that society tend to use death to threaten their children to obey to their wills. Any disobedience may deem as not being filial pious. It is a real fear for the children to be labelled as being not filial pious towards one's parents because they would be outcast.
Parental approval in most marriages is utmost important in the Chinese society. Without this, the union doesn't feel complete. There is always a shadow haunting the couple.
As in the writing of this story, I can feel the writer does strive for harmony too. So I believe there will be redemption for the Chen Ting's character.
Is it bad that I don't really want Chenting to has a redemption arc? Like, not everyone deserves a happy ending.
Ling Xiao's nightmare is Chen Ting. If she doesn't get a redemption, it's hard for Ling Xiao to heal completely. Afterall, bad mother or not, she's still his mother and he feels he has a responsibility for paying his filial piety. If Chen Ting has just dropped dead, Ling Xiao's hole will get even worse because he still hasn't made peace with her. Ultimately Ling Xiao needs to make peace with Chen Ting to have closure.

That is when she is sane. Chen Ting is not.
Even as Mingyue stands up against her mother, she's not severing ties with her. Likewise with Ling Xiao. He can't stand his mother, but his 'hole' is caused by her and he needs her to fix it. If she were just leave this world without fixing it for him, Ling Xiao will be forever broken.
