This is such a detailed article with great visuals! @potato I've been waiting for this one for ages 😂 I remember you said you would write it half a year ago—honestly I thought you'd changed your mind haha. Thank you Potato and Dusty for your hard work! ❤️❤️
This kind of mother will never admit her mistakes, because she hasn’t been living her life for herself — not…
Yeah, they had a serious fight — his mum slapped him, and he actually pulled out a fruit knife. Luckily, the FL showed up just in time and took him back to her place. Her parents were super kind to him and had been looking after him during that rough patch.
In the trailer, that scene where he talked to his mum was basically him using the last bit of patience he had left. After saying what he needed to say, he finally let it all go. He started getting ready to go overseas and later went to stay with his cousin in Hong Kong. Later on, it’s said that his parents ended up getting divorced.
Somwone who watched ep 12 please tell me if the male lead finally puts his mom in her place??
This kind of mother will never admit her mistakes, because she hasn’t been living her life for herself — not even for Jiang Mengchu. She lives for an obsession: to prove that she is the mother of a math genius. She refuses to admit that her first child never truly loved mathematics, and that the pressure from the parents led to his suicide. She cannot acknowledge her fault, because doing so would shatter the very foundation that supports her existence.
That’s why she needs the second child to prove she was right — that her values were right all along.
Now, after the ML has successfully taken his revenge, he finally tells her what he’s truly thought all these years. He knows there’s deep resentment between them, but he never expected an apology. He won’t compromise either. From now on, they will simply live their own lives, separately, without interfering with each other. It's the only solution for their relationship.
[❤️Actor's Profile] Zhang Ling He (张凌赫), original name Zhang Jia Wei (张家玮), born on 30th December 1997, Jiangsu Province, China. (Official height: 1.90m, actual: 1.92m).
His childhood dream was to become a scientist. During his student years, he excelled in science subjects. In the National University Entrance Examination, he scored 182 in Mathematics out of a total of 200 — an extremely high score, equivalent to only losing a few points on one difficult question. (The mathematics exam in Jiangsu Province is known to be the hardest in China.)
He was very fond of physics and won Second Prize in the provincial physics competition in high school. In 2016, he was admitted to the Faculty of Electrical and Automation Engineering at Nanjing Normal University (one of the best universities in Jiangsu Province), majoring in Electrical Engineering.
During university, one of his programming projects won a provincial award. Zhang Ling He once felt uncertain about his career path. He didn’t enjoy a repetitive lifestyle and preferred to try and challenge new things. At that time, an agent from the entertainment industry happened to come across a short selfie video he posted on social media and was impressed by his looks, inviting him to join the entertainment industry. After graduating from university, he officially debuted in 2019.
From 2020 until now, he has acted in a total of 18 dramas. He was recognized in Love Between Fairy and Devil (2022), and became popular because of his iconic role Xie Wei in Story of Kunning Palace (2023).
Other well-known dramas include My Journey to You (2023), The Best Thing (2025), and The Princess Royal (2024). His currently airing drama is Our Generation. Dramas expected to air next year include Zhu Yu (Chasing Jade), and he is currently filming Overdo.
Due to his extreme popularity, good looks, and physique, he has landed many endorsements in the fashion industry. Luxury brand endorsements include GUCCI, Chopard, Roger Vivier, and Lancôme.
Since 2023, his fanbase has skyrocketed. His content viewership on major Chinese social media and video platforms (Weibo, Douyin, Xiaohongshu/Rednote, Bilibili...) has reached top level among male celebrities.
Because he didn’t receive professional training in acting like other professional actors, he treats every role with seriousness, continuously learning and reflecting during filming to improve his acting skills. When not working, Zhang Ling He enjoys watching movies (especially science fiction and mystery genres), playing games, and exercising. With his background in engineering, he also loves handicraft, hands-on building and assembling things.

It’s odd how some people watch a drama just to tear it apart without actually watching it. A drama doesn’t…
This is such a profound comment, and it truly reflects the strange trends we've seen in dramaland these years. The restless pace of life and fierce competition caused it. It's harder to sit down and fully enjoy a drama.
I miss the old days, when we could quietly watch a series, read a book, immerse ourselves in a story, and experience the lives of different characters. It’s their imperfections that make them real — and it’s this authenticity that touches us, resonates with us, and stays in our hearts...
