A Female Student Arrives at the Imperial College Episode 2

Leading man is not leaving a good impression so far.

Yan Yun Zhi is a heck of a jerk so far in this series. He knows that HE (and his inept man Bai Shi) were the core cause of Yan Yan's humiliation (and all the troubles that erupted because of that) because of their theft and misplacement of the pouch. Yet he hangs Sang Qi out to dry and has the temerity to say he wants "to avenge himself personally" against her? Seriously? And their original first impressions being at odds was again solely HIS fault for not having the grace to thank her for stopping a potential disaster with the runaway cart at the beginning of the series. It was a stupid, dangerous stunt by Song Jia Yin that could have gotten someone killed. YYZ's arrogant silence was absurd and totally lacking grace.I get that he's the ultimate 'male lead' for this series and will hopefully eventually turn a better cheek to the audience. And yes, he has done a few things behind the scenes to support Sang Qi - but those things so far just feel like fulfilling his responsibility to his late friend Sang Yi and barely feel earnest on his part. But otherwise, so far, this series has painted him as a real jerk of a human who is petty and self-absorbed. It's hard to get too excited about a potential 'romance' between him and Sang Qi.
