Watching episode 22 -24 I don’t feel like Xixiao has matured a lot over the 10 year separation he still acts childishly towards Wan. Much as she broke his heart the childish ways he finds to get back at her are show a lack or growth. I feel Jiang has had some growth and is not as needy. It remains to be seen if Jiang will show his true colours and betray Wan and Xixiao. Wan has some growth she can rely on herself now. Waiting to see how it plays out. I wonder if anyone else feels the same way.

Looked up the novel and there are major differences between the novel and the drama. The novel is a lot and I mean a lot darker and traumatic for our Zhou Wan and just darker for Xixiao. The drama drastically waters down the abuse and trauma of Zhou Wan in her high school days.
