However he did regret that rejection, as can be seen at the camping trip, airport and at sea when he dived to save her. t's also possible that he intended a friendship to endure longer and doesn't think that "love is forever." Further his lack of farsightedness with his problem of trust made him unable to rectify his mistakes or fail to recognise others as rectifying theirs.( Sorry for late reply, rewatched some parts.)

His father's abandonment but later took him and brought him up caused many issues and among them, anger, resentment, and holding grudges were suppressed. He pretended to be an amenable and obedient boy to become accepted in the family but was actually hating them.He played a blame game and wrongly vent it out on his father when he threw his money back at him instead on the outsider, the stepmother. Wrong choice ,played dumb instead of telling his father.about making him cheat for his stepbrother at that time.
HS was another of his poor judgement of choice and character.He rejected her subtle message to deepen their relationship when he refused to wear the couple T-shirt. Instead he choose the vain girl ZX to be his 1st gf.
Will write a review to explain more.

He Shan was good to him,wasn't she? His only friend and I don't think she was the one who reported him in the final exam, as it was not mentioned who did it. I can understand he wanted revenge, but made the paper had low mark as they could have t investigated why someone would blacked out their own name.

I'm the optimistic HE enthusiast, LOL!

After the miraculous resurrection of the 3rd ML, I suspend logic and hope for HE. 3MLs in twists and turns for faction T. October, in Chinese calender, is always the ending of 8th month and the beginning of 9th month.

Yes, i'm still waiting for He Shan's story,. The childhood friend to reveal the past . Started from her, and would likely ended with her.

Waiting to hear He Shan story. From the moment she hesitated to say that she knew his name, it was odd. Seemly unconcerned, and not even a hospital visit? Yet she was important for him to give her his key and name her in his will. Further, when money was refunded, it was an act of apology, and noted that no money was given to the woman who made someone took the rap.

Thanks for the info.FF does give the wrong picture but still don't like the husband, and now it is more pity for the child to have such a father as well as the FL to marry such a guy. Will wait to see HE or not.

Wasn't the self-sacrifice of the teacher taken from JFK: "ask not what your country can do for you , ask what you can do for your country.”? Further, that movie was from WW2 and from Vietnam War onward, the policy was changed to that of JFK; otherwise, there wouldn't be so many student demos as they felt disappointed and disillusioned that the country put other interests above its citizens.

Covid had demonstrated that China always placed the country first when Wuhan was under strict lockdown, which made its populace and economy suffer many hardship to prevent it from spreading to other parts of the country.

Please give spoilers, the father of the child is not likely the husband? Watched a couple of episodes with FF , as the FL is the kinky kind who play games of coquette with the ML and husband. Husband clearly was the sadomasochistic type. The bedroom scene where she asked for divorce with a tantalising knife at his throat, while whispering that every night would be like that till the divorce. Husband must be thinking: “Divorce? She's kidding, right? Every night with such a turn on?!” Seriously, asked for a divorce by standing away from him and then threaten him with a knife , in broad daylight. Stopped at that episode as FL seems to be playing a dangerous cat and mouse game.

That's why I would like HL to explain to his brother why he helped the Japanese. Would like the Nationalist POV but not the usual power and position.

I got the impression from this drama that the writer was paying homage to those early, unnamed, fallen, and unknown heroes and heroines—those "shooting stars" who had brief lives but showed incredible bravery in illuminating and inspiring others around them, like the ML. The FL and family represented the bulk of ordinary, regular people who were unaware of the evil power at work, while the ML and family represented the minority elites on the wrong side. They illuminate the darkness, showing it that a bright future is possible if they wake up and fight for it today.

For me, I suppose the story will come to an end ten years later when the little girl returned as an adult and joined the Ml as CCP members fought the Nationalists in the major event that followed—the full-fledged Chinese Civil War. The story started because of her and most likely ended when she returned.

Knew it will SE as its the only way people like her can end, after committing such a sin.

Thanks, she was like Lady Macbeth, who stilled her conscience to kill innocents,then had to wash off that “blood” off her hands, and there is only 1 way to that. The real world is already full of such people who bombed refugee aid centres. I want to watch uplifting drama not depressing ones.

So she didn't know that they would died ?

From the comments , the FL sounds like "Lady Macbeth" type? please spoil for me why did FL did that to the Ml's clan?

Maybe the ratings went down cos of the switch of actresses? Agree with all discussions that it would unique and fitting to theme of inner beauty of FL.

we have the same suspect.

Sorry,didn't take note that it was a wooden sword. Yes, law and order are necessary to suppress man's baser instincts since it is a never-ending struggle to follow the correct path—very few people would be like Mr. Li in the Red Pavilion case.
