Yeah, there’s no reasons to completely absolve 2ML of his mistakes. Both second leads are bad in different ways. I just prefer to think about our nice main leads — the less of second leads we see, the better :)

They are both bad but in different ways 😠

I have an alternative view of SnakeRong — we should all be thankful for her scheming and lies because it meant FL ends up with ML 🥰😁

This is kind of explained in Ep. 12 but at this point we all firmly dislike 2ML

there’s a six year age gap — in 2011 leads are 27 & 21 in ep. 1. Later on, when she graduates, they are 28 & 22

The problem with FP/ItNoB is they made two seasons (30+24 episodes) instead of one 40-episode seasons. So a lot of people were frustrated by the second season where writers kept coming up with ridiculous ways to keep the leads apart. Like you can start on Ep. 16 (of 24) and be basically okay.

In the novel events of book 2 take place over a span of 10 years so there may be some small jumps. Plus, this shows development of Chinese solar energy industry (China now makes 80-90% of solar panels and components).

Ahhh… I think 2ML in Flourished Peony / In the Name of Blossom is hard to beat. That was a masterful performance from Miles who usually plus good guys.

Dual boss — as the shareholder of the company and as the wife 😁🥰

You know the character is universally disliked, when comments section agreed on a nickname (SnakeRong 🐍), lol

Spiritual successor to the ML in The Best Thing :)

Leads’ parents in You Are My Glory (same author) were also very nice :)

No one likes him here :) But soon FL will graduate and you won’t see 2ML so often

SnakeRong, yes.

SnakeRong and her low-key evil friend too.

Hopefully, that will be enough for FL to completely get over him and get with ML :)

After FL starts her job, it’s mostly ML+FL with a sprinkle of 2ML every know and then.

Her family is “new money” who became wealthy while FL was a kid (unlike ML who is “old money”). Her family’s company owns 49% of the solar panel plant that she’s working at (she didn’t know about that when she applied for a job there). ML calls her his future boss because eventually FL will inherit her family’s company whereas ML is not in line to inherit his grandfather’s company (which owns remaining 51% of the plant) because that grandfather is on his mother’s side.
Also, no one at FL’s job knows her true background (other than ML) because she’s not flaunting it. She’s trying to earn everything without involving connections:)

Soon? 18-20? Maybe after the events teased for Ep. 17

haha… my list is a bit longer but I prefer to erase them from my memory 🫣
