They broke up. She moved out. She gave back her pendant necklace and earrings. She blocked him too. Oh yeah, there was a letter too. the film condensed it so much, you missed it?

Look at JX's face when he told her that HT rejected his initial request for a merger, his words sank in, you can see it in her eyes, her demeanor, not sure what she's thinking though.

HT has the goods on her, so to speak, so yes, she can't harm him. In the novel, it said he had both pictures and recording of her leaking company secrets. HT felt it was valuable for her to know how bad Chang He is since he still has to continue to work with his cousin. Unfortunately, the fall out is his relationship with JX.

not that kind of benefits but business benefits although he doesn't need her, but she needs him as evident in how easily he traded his shares of Guangsha off like garbage

She did not attend the merger meeting but in the novel, a month later, there is a mandatory company meeting she attended and bumped into Han Ting. I wonder if that will be filmed.

It sounds like JX has lost her confidence, knocked down to reality. In the novel,
JX to SZZ: Being in a leadership position is not really suitable for me. My character and intuitive thinking... you understand how it is. Looking back now, many of my impulsive choices were not well considered, such as starting a business, which was touted as realizing my dream, but was actually to escape the constraints and difficulties of working for others. I was able to make it this far only by pure luck. I also did many things that I hated myself for. So now is a good time to quiet down and think about how to move forward. If I don't make a good plan, time will fly by, and I will be too late. You should keep doing your best. I still have my shares in XingChen, so you have to earn more money for me! The experience with XingChen has been the most precious to me.

SZZ: But I'm not suitable to be in a leadership position either. I don't even know what to do with XingChen in the future.

JX: XingChen should merge with the big company, but make sure the current employees won't be affected. Just keep doing your job well.

JX thought of XingChen's fate of eventually merging and she didn't know how she felt about it.

JX to her mom: I won't find anyone. Why would anyone be good to me or love me? I'm not worth liking, not worth someone treating me well. That's why Yichen broke up with me, that's why Han Ting...
(poor girl, she really lost all her confidence)

meanwhile, for HT, a strange pain tore through his heart

(In choosing next career, we see JX is now very practical and conservative in her choices. no more pie in the sky goals. She's really lost all her confidence)
When it comes to choosing a job again, JX didn't want to go to small start-up without any background and experience the feeling of being crushed between different powers again; she was afraid a mid-sized company would not have enough resources. She decided on a giant company where all the resources were at her disposal.
She tells Yichen: Being a boss is tiring. I just couldn't handle it anymore. Being a shareholder and earning money while sitting at home is pretty good too. Being quieter is not bad. I used to be too noisy. I've grown up and become more mature.

love her singing

HT may have good understanding of human nature, but he has very little experience in relationships. This is his first serious relationship and it's still new but he's moving really fast on her. Then he had to do damage control and do the merger sooner than he expected. He was going to ease her into the idea of merging with Hanhai. Instead, he became scary to JX and drove her away. It's like when people say textbook is different than real life. HT may know how it should work but when dealing with human beings, it's not that simple.

to give the shares to JX but she didn't want them

it should be I like you. I guess I adore you is equivalent to I like you. I remember in Royal Feast, she says "I adore you"

I don't know Mandarin, but it sounds like scary in Cantonese. Scary is the right context. JX is frightened. Her acting is very good.

HT's trade of Guangsha shares for XingChen shares were lopsided. HT had dual purpose. He wanted to expose Han Yuan but also to win JX. It didn't work out. JX still mad and left.

It doesn't matter if the time period is one month or three months. A lot already happened between them. HT did a lot to make her think she is the one he will marry. He introduced her to his grandfather and family. He said her kids will inherit grandfather's genes. He was ready to propose to her at Yichen's wedding. We need to give her a chance in future episode. In the novel, it's clear that JX understands where HT is coming from. She just needs time to process her emotions. HT needs time too. He was pretty miserable in the novel too.

Her words pierced his heart because he seemed to be catching his breath as he breathed heavily, then vented out. JX wanted to hurt him because she was hurting.

The translation is now changed to "I adore you" instead of "I like you". It still says, "You're terrible" but it sounds like "I'm scared". the novel was "you're a fake" and the drama is "you're a liar".

XK had regrets he was not passionate enough. I can't wait to see what perfection looks like to him.

Such impeccable hand movements, how HT angrily reached for the papers with his right hand and without even looking at them, he seemed to know those were not it and shuffling the papers with both hands, flings them to the floor at lightning speed with scissor like action, reaches back in with his left hand this time for the original contract between Dongyang and XingChen, all the while his focus is on JX, finally pass it to his right hand to hand to JX.

Actually, in the novel, JX does think HT is right, once her emotions settled down.
