Yes, true , in the novel after they reconcile and he was about to trick her to send her on the boat to the US, he told her that he only loves her in his entire life and if I am not mistaken, there was this sentence in the trailer.

I've got to say Beicheng has been a bit more measured, calmer with Hangjing since her return. He really loves her and he is always sad and absent at times when she is not around. No man would be as patient as him and so much in love with her though. I love the scene in the next episodes, he came to her room to check on her when there was a storm and lightning outside. After the conversation with her and she closed the door and just sat outside of the door so that he could rescue her in case she calls him. He looks so sad and hesitant to take off and put his wedding ring back on. So heartbreaking and it just brings me back into the novel to his state of sorrow before they reconcile. It is quite well done here and bravo to Beicheng as a good actor and a handsome one.

I think it is new episodes which I have not watched yet.

Like in the novel, I think the boy is Mr’s Shen son as there was another scene later on where Mr Shen advised Hangjing to get back to Beicheng after their undercover mission. He told her ha5 every year around the date of the death of the baby you are sad and making baby clothes and that he could see that she still loves him if I am not mistaken as in am learning Chinese.

I can’t believe I am watching this again. Heanjing just saw the SML from her car and jumped out of the car to come and greet him. Beicheng came just in time to break in the encounter. Hanjing, Still playing as if she is Mrs Shen and not knowing Beicheng. Please writers stop torturing us with these already.

Did you watch the scene where t Beicheng danced with Hanjing in the little cute terrace when he said to her that he is longing for the day she will come back to him 😂 LOL.

Like in the novel, I have just seen a photo of the SML coming back ( I.e he is not dead yet). Oh dear, he is going to be evil I’m sure.

Resistance against the Japanese. Note that Japan invaded China around 1931, killed millions of Chinese until the end of WWII. The Ying army (Beicheng’s army) was working for the warlords and fighting against the south army ( revolutionaries or resistance army). When Japan invaded China, the south army was against the invasion. In the drama, Mr Shen & the FL are part of the resistance against the Japanese and her role I assume is to test Beicheng out as to whether he is working for the Japanese or they may persuade him to join force and defend the country. Please note also China has been invaded by the 8 nations beforehand, hence you have various foreign forces stationed in China. For example, Shanghai has been dived in various concessions like French concession, British, German, etc.

I’m not quite sure that the SML is dead actually as I remember watching a trailer where he comes back in the lift with long hair in smart clothes. Now in the novel, he got shot by Beicheng when he was about to run away with Hangjing but he survived. He then became a gangster working for a gang / doing trafficking businesses with Japanese. He will only be killed by Beicheng’s men when his gang kidnapped his friend Shen who just appears in recent episodes.

Aunt Qi is the mother of the twins boys (brothers no 5 & 6). It is not clear in the drama who is the mother of Shuyi, I may have missed it but in the novel she is Beicheng's sister by mother & father. Beicheng also 2 older sisters of different mother.

She is so evil and what is so surprising to me is neither the ML, nor the FL question her motives and good intentions LOL. Beicheng is on guard against the warlord's daughter (the one that is in love with the SML).

I have no idea. It was just a shot where the SFM was forced to tell the truth to Beincheng, the sister and his households' staff. The FL was not in the picture.

That's what I find annoying about FL, she trusts everyone over ML when she claims that she's in love with him.
Couldn't she have asked him ? For all his faults, ML has never lied to her.
He even risked his life for her time and again while she didn't do anything to deserve his trust.

Don't worry, I have just seen an extract of one of the next episodes by chance that the Beicheng has found out about her schemes and that he pointed a g un on her head. The idiotic sister did not even realise that she was using her. SFL fell in the stairs but don't know why. Let's see LOL.

By the look of the trailer, it looks like Shi Yi likes Beicheng’s friend Sheng. In the novel, Shuyi got married early on to a guy Ke if I am not mistaken. So you could see the slight change here.

I was drawn towards the writing and plot of the novel. The writing is quite delicate, dreamy but yet violent. In addition, I was focussing on their love/hate relationship. To cut the story short. The end of the novel was about love & sacrifice that both characters have learnt to embrace and understand the true meaning of these. It is my view anyway but then again each to their own.

Agreed. The way they slightly changed the storyline does not completely come natural I.e a scene when SML snicked in the house to see Hangjing and asked her to run away with him. There was a moment of hesitation in Hangjing to kind of pondered should I or should I not. They should have just made her to be more assertive when it comes to her love to Beicheng instead of showing this. Then again it is just me, any thoughts on that please?

I feel you LOL. The thing this there are many heartbreaks in the novel minus the schemings of SFL and the sister. I was crying my eyes out reading the novel.

In the novel, she is very stubborn with many prejudices against Beicheng. I understand the way she behaves with him to some extent when she was bullied by him, domineering and taking decisions. But he has also tried to change for her, love her despite his own shortcomings. However, she has not shown any feelings for him all along and the way I see it is quite cruel. She only realises her love for him only towards the end of the novel when he does not know whether he will survive tin the battlefields or not. Hence, she has only told him that they have a son and he grows up nicely as a toddler. They both have lots of communication issues and trust in each other to be able to move past them.
