When investigating cases, Zhang Hai Xia always puts people first. Although he usually proceeds with caution whenever he wants to take action, if he sees that people or civilians are in danger, he can become even more dangerous than Zhang Hai Lou. For instance, consider the Governor's assassination, or how he insisted on pursuing a case he initially didn't want to investigate just to get everyone out alive after realizing people were still surviving on the Panhua Reef, or how he shielded his friend Zhang Hai Lou from the flames. And despite suffering severe skin burns and being left disabled in his legs for his friend, he still thinks Zhang Hai Lou lost his job because of him, silently saying 'I'm sorry' on the rooftop. This character feels so familiar from somewhere... In life, there are always people like this who shoulder all the blame and constantly want to save everyone.

OMG, what are they doing to me? It's only episode 3 and I am already in tears. 😭At first, Haixia used himself as a human shield to protect Hailou and as a result lost his ability to walk and scarred his body terribly. Ofc, Hailou wouldn't let his brother die and used every last bit of strength to get them to shore... 😫The Southern Archives went into hiding and the Master was attacked. She has some nice combat skills, I must say! 😏During the 3-year time skip, the Zhang brothers still hadn't been able to communicate with the Archives, nor received any payment, and have been living as street vendors, humbly and poorly... 😤🥺And the final part where Zhang Ruipu tortures Haixia by breaking his bones just to get some answers from Hailou... How can Haixia ever recover after all that has been done to his body in this episode? I am completely heartbroken for them. 😰🥺💔The little joy, I guess, was the girl Hailou found and gave her their family name—now she's Zhang Haijiao. Even though his intention was just to get someone to keep company with Haixia... But I kind of like her becoming part of their family. Like a little sister! 🥹❤️ 🤗
