Ep. 1 & 2 flashbacks

ML: "The greatest mistake of my life was meeting you."
FL: "The best decision I ever made in my life was meeting you."
FL commits suicide.

It seems like the FL will be stuck between two worlds (demons and humans). She'll have to choose between love and duty. Get ready for an emotional rollercoaster. lol

And it's still getting boring. The issue here is that there isn't enough material for a 36-episode drama.

This is getting boring. The ML's only purpose so far is to endlessly pursue the FL while she's hung up on her crush. There isn't enough material for 36 episodes. They should've made the business part a lot more interesting.

Great first episode. However, the second episode has pacing issues. Too many filler scenes. It is also as if they don't have enough story for 39 episodes. But then again, watch them rush the ending.

He's basically one of the few good guys in this drama. lol

This drama is both ridiculous and entertaining. I couldn't stop watching. lol

Yes, they're both unrealistic.

I'm struggling to understand the FL's attachment to the SML, but your explanation helps to clarify some things.

"Additionally, I think she believes the ML is too much of a catch for her."
In that one scene from the latest episode, the FL thought that ML's directness mirrored her past self.

The story doesn't convincingly show why Nie Xiguang can't move on from Zhuang Xu. I get that some novels keep crushes alive for years, but this one feels weak. People usually hold on when there's real emotional bonding—shared hardships, deep conversations, or intense moments that stick with you. From what we see, they barely have that. No passionate nights, no heroic saves, no big life-changing events together. It's just a failed love story without much buildup. Realistically, that kind of thing fades, but she's still hung up on him. I really hope these brain-dead drama writers don't drag this out any longer.

They didn't want you to root for him. They used those four episodes to draw a contrast later between the FL's relationship with the SML and her relationship with ML. Still, they spent way too much time on that relationship at the beginning.

Women should run as far away from mama's boys as they can. lol

The moral of the story is that if you're an indecisive man with an inferiority complex, you will lose the girl. The 2ml is a loser. This is no exaggeration, just reality.

And he expects the FL to wait for him while he climbs the corporate ladder. What a loser and a weirdo lol

"You’re saying she still hasn’t moved on or resolved her feelings for the SML, and the ML is chasing her. So what is that called if not simping?"

The ML doesn't know the FL's history with 2ml. Only we, the audience, are in her head. The only thing the ML knows is that the FL is the woman he fell in love with at first sight, and he's pursuing her. That's not simping. That's being a man.

"Now he has to make even more effort to help her forget the SML, then make her fall for him, while waiting for her to choose him."

In the ML's mind, he's not in competition with the 2ml for the FL's affection. He's pursuing her because he likes her. As I said, it will become simping if the ML puts his life on pause to pursue a woman that he knows is in love with another man. We aren't there yet.

" He just didn’t know how to confess, because his mom wanted was playing matchmaker. His mom told him that Rong and him are childhood friends therefore they should be married."

Here you've explained precisely why he's a beta male who doesn't deserve the FL. Men like that don't deserve to have wives.

You're just wrong. The fl's unresolved feelings for the 2ml has nothing to do with the ml. The ml fell for the fl at first sight and is now pursuing her. That's not simping. That's a man who knows what he wants. If the fl later shows that she can't get over the 2ml and the ml is still hopelessly pursuing her, then he would be a simp.

I understand that some people feel sympathy for the 2ml (perhaps due to his good looks), but he's the absolute worst. He doesn't deserve your sympathy. Indecisiveness in a man is a fatal character flaw. Society wasn't built on the back of indecivine men. Notice how the FL immediately started admiring the ML when he took decisive action against his rival. And I've seen someone call the ML a SIMP. No, he's not a simp. He's a man pursuing a woman with conviction.

I don't feel sorry for him at all. Indecisive men like him are the absolute worst, and women should avoid them at all cost. It takes a lot of courage for a woman to confess her feelings to a man first. Yet instead of appreciating her courage and be direct with her, he acted like an insecure coward.

Actually that's not what's happening at all.

Your opinion sucks.
