Fated Hearts Episode 19 Reactions
In an earlier episode Yi Xiao had indicated that something about Murong Yao made her uneasy. Plus of all the main characters who would have inside information and means, he is one of the few tall enough to be the masked man. Further, Murong already was seen to be involved with Ruyan. So the reveal was not that surprising. This episode is a bit annoying because it features (a) some noble idiocy on the part of FL (doesn't tell ML about her plan to trap Ruyan and the masked man) and (b) contrived separation of the leads. But fortunately it's clear that not only does ML quickly figure out that she's up to something involving Ruyan (and thus the masked man) but his actions to help her signal to her that he's aware and helping. Their ability to communicate indirectly is cool.

As much as we've guessed, the masked villain is none other than Murong Yao, male lead's childhood friend whom he trusts conditionally. Feng Sui Ge would always say people close to him either betray him or leave him... The poor guy has always treated Murong Yao, his one and only friend A-Yao, as someone who's his equal. However, now that the truth has surfaced, our male lead will have to go through yet another painful experience of betrayal he'd always faced in the past...., digging into his old scars...
