I like this director.

I know it is a happy ending so I am looking forward to watching a good performance.

On the surface ZD seems like the right match for HT but the internal core is different. HT is ruthless but he still upright. ZD is spiteful, malicious, and plays dirty. He actually can see through ZD. He can also see that JX is more capable but inexperienced.

actually, I think HT does love JX the way she thinks of love, but he just doesn't realize it

JX: "You would die for me, abandon yourself for me; without me, the world would collapse."

HT's practical words are always right even though it takes the romance and emotions out of a person. "Suitable" is critical for two people to survive a lifetime, more than "love". Love accumulates over time. It is the reason that Yichen left JX, because they were no longer suitable for each other, and he found the WQZ more suitable and married her.

"Han Ting actually protected Xingchen, if Han Ting and Ji Xing didn't know each other, then Xingchen and Hanhai's business coincided, and Han Ting would strangle Xingchen very early."

I recall a boss of mine once said to me, "you know a lot of people sleep with each other at work." I think it depends on the line of work, the engagements and activities you have to attend with each other.

Excerpts from novel:
ZD said to JX cruelly: "My today is your tomorrow."

JX: "HT, do you love me?"
HT: "Define the word love."
JX: "You would die for me, abandon yourself for me; without me, the world would collapse."
HT: "That is not how I understood love."

HT: "JX, Suitable is not a despicable word; neither is love particularly noble. It's hard to find the right person. Three views, goals, time, ideas, spirit, interests, even just the ability to continue a conversation and share humor... it's hard to have everything match up, to be suitable. I really like you, that's true. As for the kind of love you want, I thought that it would slowly develop day by day, accumulating over time in the future. For me, it's impossible to have it all at once."

At this time, she was too sad, too focused on her own pain, and didn't really try to understand what he was saying. Perhaps for a moment, her rational mind thought that he made sense. But he was someone who had a natural ability to make any argument sound convincing. But no matter how reasonable he was, her emotions were already full of holes that couldn't be filled by reason. Another tear fell and she shook her head, shaking it again, "you can be like this. But I can't, I can't... Because... He only like her, but she had already fallen in love with him.

wow, the story moved quantum leaps in ep. 30. I'm impressed how much depth they packed into one episode. ep. 30 is really good. A lot happened and only supporting side story is Li Li which I really like. but of course, I have to rewatch since it is 30.5

the Zeng Di and JX scene in ep. 30 is the climax. The actress who plays Zeng Di portrays her really well. In that scene, JX hates Zeng Di so much. Zeng Di thinks she knows everything about HT, but she doesn't. There is a side of HT only shows to JX but unfortunately, it's about to be shattered by her. Zeng Di is so pitiful.

the scene of them discussing definition of love was light, seemed rushed to me. I guess the emotional impact will come in next episode

There is hope for HT since he has parents like JX.

Thinking about his grandfather's words, HT wanted to tell JX but got interrupted by her. There is so much foreshadowing with words like "betray".

Xu Kai has great chemistry with older actors.

I wonder why LLJ's mother who is also HT's grand aunt is so different (happy person) from the rest of the stuffy family.
That humongous round table won't help this family to get closer to each other anytime soon.
In the novel, JX's parents did not want her to marry into this kind of wealthy family. they worried about her happiness and well-being.

These are business secrets not public information, and he is not at liberty to discuss or disclose with anyone.

The merger did not swallow up XingChen. Her company, products, mission, vision, employees, all that stuff are still intact except she is now VP of Hanhai-XingChen. Had it not been for HT recognize her capabilities and had faith in her, her startup would not make it. It was not a true merger. The two companies are under him, operate separately (JX and her employees can continue as before), each with own core competencies but also can collaborate and leverage each other.

Ao Rui Peng plays Qin Lin

Han Yuan will later tell HT that if JX stays with you, it means she doesn't really care about you.

How did his wife die? I read that he made a promise to never marry again. But he should have told her up front.

HT plans span over a decade. I'm not saying who is right or wrong. HT always has things under his control. It's natural to him. There are business dealings he cannot disclose to her, especially when he hasn't even made it public. It's his fault to mix personal and business. He may be able to separate it but JX is someone who relies on her feelings.

I find Han Ting to be a paradox. HT doesn’t rely on emotions, finds himself drawn to JX, who embraces her feelings, one is analytical and pragmatic, the other guided by intuition and heart. One would think Zeng Di would be the rational choice to help him - well, HT doesn't need anyone's help, perhaps that's why he doesn't need to choose her type. I supposed HT sees Ji Xing as more capable but needs guidance. JX who is opposite of him, naive, impulsive, spontaneous, and emotional (even more so in the novel) actually is providing him an outlet and stimulating to him. He is intrigued by her and enjoys teasing her.

never doubt HT. He has ways. He's ruthless.
