Thank you very much for your detailed opinion! x)
It is the most credible theory I heard and which corresponds in part to what I imagined too.

I just saw the clip of the drama as well as a video introducing the character and it fits with what you say. We see the death scene of Sun Dapeng, which confirms that Xianhe is not responsible and that the informant has given him a mission. In addition, we see scenes from the last episodes which seem to indicate that either he becomes an informant for the police or he disappears.

Either way, I find it more believable and interesting that he's a new convert rather than another undercover cop like the FL. Just the fact that he has his daughter with him proves that he cannot be on a mission but rather that he is entangled in this dangerous world.

The drama portrays quite realistically how common people can be thrown to this life (as illustrated by FL's roommate). And it's interesting to humanize those who are not definitely corrupted by this environment.

I watched fast forward to episode 20 but didn't understand much because it wasn't subbed (which is why I'm only mentioning the first 14 episodes). So don't hesitate to tell me if we learn a little more things, that doesn't bother me ^_^

Sometimes I have the impression the ML is more than he seems and can be an informant. While sometimes I really think he is an adopted son of a drug' lord with no ulterior motive.
The fact that he keeps his daughter close to him is one of the reasons that makes me think he is not undercover or whatever because it is risky to drag his daughter into this life if he has an alternative.
But at the same time, he sometimes seems to have secrets and a conscience. Is he a victim of society and his adoptive family, having no alternative but this life? Is he redeeming himself and trying to take over from the informant he allegedly killed?
I do not know and I admit that I would like to understand him a little more.

I would like to know the thoughts of each one towards ML and his future. I would post my impressions until episode 14 under spoiler below.

There have been some times when I have asked myself the question but there is a lot of evidence to say that no, he is not undercover.

Thank you very much for the information !
It makes so much more sense to learn this about FL's past and about the gun shot. I thought it was weird that she got shot by Lei Jie.
I was afraid that the end was rushed but your words reassure me.

Let's sum up:
A man (the female lead's biological father and step-father of the ML) married against his will a woman (the hero's mother) but left her alone on their wedding night to return to see the woman he loved and conceive the FL. The rejected woman thus spent the night with another man out of spite, conceiving the ML whom she will make pass for the legitimate son of her husband.
The father, unable to communicate, will himself create a good part of the story's problems by bringing home, right after the death of his wife, his former lover without warning his son, causing misunderstandings. The son will accelerate the death of the mother of the Fl by his mean and violent attitude.
Then, after years of misunderstandings and hatred, he will eventually calm down and be with the FL. However, when he finds out the truth about his mother's wedding night, he decides to do this to the woman he loves. So to avenge his mother, he creates another victim like his mother. The twisted logic of this man is beyond me.
He therefore marries FL but abandons her on their wedding night to start a relationship with another woman whom he will bring home to live while demanding from FL that she not divorce and still do her "marital duty". And the father tries to push his daughter into the arms of her abuser several times.

Excuse me but where is the romance in there? I see a spoiled rotten kid, unable to discern right from wrong, reproducing the same circle of abuse he denounces. I see a husband insulting, cheating, mistreating, physically and emotionally abusing his wife. He would be my son, I would have denied him and taken his wife away from him forever.

Let's stop making this kind of toxic, disgusting, demeaning story with the woman who is mistreated in any way but is still the one who has to make efforts and compromises in the relationship.

Also, there are plenty of scenes from the trailer that haven't been shown yet, I hope they haven't been deleted but will be for the end.
I also would have liked to see the FL live for a while undercover in the ML group but I don't know if it will be possible in such a short time. This drama deserves to have more episodes.

I watched 14 episodes with subtitles and from 15 to 19 unsubtitled. I wonder if the remaining 5 episodes will be enough to complete the story.

Am I the only one disappointed by the time jump?
The drama spent 15 episodes on the video game but only 5 episodes on their debut as a couple before making the time jump.

It is normal for Youtube subtitles to disappear, they are in a separate file.
I advise you to take the youtube videos and go to https://downsub.com/ to retrieve the subtitle files (just paste the link of the youtube video and the different subtitle languages ​​will be offered to you ).

I am always confused when, under the pretext that characters have known one person as children or teens (sometimes for less than a year), there is no problem about them imposing themselves again in the character's life as if the years had not passed and that the characters owed them something.
It's so unrealistic, oppressive and bordering on harassment. Similarly, if a guy shows up at my door pretending to be my daughter's ex-friend (who broke her heart), I won't let him come in like that. Or I contact my daughter to confirm she's okay with this guy's presence. Taking a stranger's word, who was close to my daughter 8 years ago, is a nonsense.
I hope one day the writers will stop this kind of relationship.

The ML doesn't hates her because of the rain. If he just saved her, that doesn't make sense. It is because she threw herself in his arms after that he imagines she is a manipulative seductress in search of a rich target.

Precisely no. There was indeed a one-night stand in the drama as well (which was filmed and can be seen in the trailer) and some ML words allude to it (when he talks about the FL "experience", when he says he'll keep their past a secret if she claims to have forgotten and so on). But the final version censored that which makes it all confusing.

You mean the scene where her ex-college senior tries to assault her? She wears the same outfit and the place looks the same as the dinner with ML's childhood friend who used her for toasting.
It is sure that the beginning of the drama seems to tease a plot with her old suitor and finally it is resolved without ever having been explored and he gets together with the friend of the ML.
In fact, I feel like the core topic was quickly pushed aside to build a new, less interesting story.
The prejudices between the ML and the FL are resolved without clearly addressing their one-night stand. The FL being pursued by her ex-schoolmate lasts only a few episodes and leads nowhere.
On the other hand, we will spend ten scenes per episode on toxic secondary couples. It's quite confusing and boring.

I think the scene was cut because in the trailer we see their one-night stand with DXS taking the initiative. Which explains why the ML considers that she is quite experienced despite her young age, thinks that she is had an habit to trapping rich men and speaks of "keeping their past quiet". But apparently it was censored.

I'm on episode 26 and something is bothering me. In the trailer, released several years ago, we saw DXS take the initiative in a one-night stand with LYZ. Therefore, when in the first part of the drama LYZ says he has a prejudice about her, that he knows she is "experienced" despite her young age and that she has a short memory I always perceived it as: they spent the night together when he saved her and he thinks it was an ambush. That she purposely passed out in front of him to seduce a rich man. Reason why he is wary of her while having contradictory feelings (because he has already been seduced by her in the past and is still attracted to her).
However, for now, the drama never openly brings up what happened that night, other than the rescue. Has it been censored? Or will we have confirmation later? Even if it seems to me that it is too late for that, given where the story is.
I even thought Xiang Yuan was DXS ex-boyfriend who cheated on her, which is why she drank and was wandering in the rain. Then when she said he was chasing her, I thought he drugged or drunk her to abuse her. But this is never discussed. We don't know what she was doing drunk in the rain. We don't know why, in the first few episodes, she is so shocked and pissed off to cross paths with her former classmate.
It's quite confusing. It's to believe there are plots which have been cut.

Wu Lei is considered the nation's little brother in China. He is a child actor and his mother, who is his agent, really pays attention to his image.
He was not yet 21 years old when this drama was filmed. The majority to get married among Chinese boys is 22 years old.
We do not know exactly what it is but we can guess that because of his youth and his image, he must have a "no kiss" contract for now. In addition, Dilraba is 7 years older than him and, in China, couples where the woman is older are more difficult for the audience to deal with.
So certainly because of a contrate, Wu Lei's image, of his young age and to avoid any problem with the audience if an older woman kisses a very young man, we got parrots instead.

2 now :D

Thanks for your support! <3
I have two videos planned (one about the whole story of Gesun and the other about Changge's relationship with various characters: Leyan, Hao Du, the emperor, Shu Yu, Ashile Sun & Sheer) . I would see later to maybe do more.
