Wanting to avoid public scrutiny shouldn't be a reason to ask your employees to take the blame for something you did, this is basic human decency. If it's your fault, you take responsibility. And it wasn't a huge deal, she didn't hurt anyone, she is obviously able to pay for property damage. Maybe it would have led to some chatter online but it wouldn't have been career-ending.

I agree that this particular post could have been written better...I'm not familiar with Chinese legal terms but I highly doubt hitting a wall counts as a "hit-and-run" in any country. The language in this post feels pretty problematic, perhaps there was too much lost in translation.

There was no insurance claim, what are you talking about? Jin Chen's post in April 2025 says she took financial responsibility of the accident. But the finances were never the issue, and the police statement made that clear.

I think you've missed the point slightly (although no blame to you, this article was written kinda oddly). It seems Chinese netizens are mostly questioning why the assistant chose to/tried to take responsibility with the police if Jin Chen is the one driving the car. Imagine if your company's CEO, your manager, and you were in the car with your CEO driving, your CEO swerves to avoid a dog and hits a wall, and then your CEO and your manager leave you at the scene while they go to hospital, would you be willing to lie to the police and tell them that you were the one driving? Netizens are more willing to assume the assistant was instructed either by Jin Chen or her manager to take the blame for the accident, which, if true, is the kind of power abuse that most 9-5ers can relate to and dislike with a passion. So the accident itself isn't the problem, it's how it was handled that is the issue here.

QH got 18 years in prison for the combination of her old case (murder of HSQ) and everything associated with the current case, but MWC gets 20 + financial penalties for his fraud business, harm to Meng Meng and other unsavory actions? I'm no fan of MWC, but he didn't commit murder. I'm actually a little surprised QH didn't get the death penalty, pretty sure that's happened before in other cdramas of this genre. What's the reasoning here?

Great show and plot, and was very impressed by all of the actors! I'm just a little confused by the sentencing at the end...

Did we recently go from two episodes released a day to one episode per day, or am I going crazy? It feels like there's a lot less material to watch now than there was the last few weeks!

The logic doesn't fully stand, there are some moments of stupidity, but it's not overwhelmingly problematic. I think the foundations of the plot are very interesting and the "good" and "bad" sides are not all black and white, which keeps things intriguing. Not as thrilling as Nyx said, but it's an easy watch and pretty acceptable so far, imo. Hopefully it stays consistent till the end.

I totally get your caution. Between translations and social media, a lot can get misconstrued very quickly. Even this is just a select clip, who knows what else she said before or afterwards in the same live. I think we all need to remember we can't judge the character of someone in the public eye because we'll never know the full story and how they actually feel/what's going on behind the surface. I'm just glad she seems to be on the mend and was able to work out her contract issues. Hopefully she can put this blip in her career (and health) behind her and we'll continue to see good work coming from her in the future.

I don't know, she's definitely goal oriented but it feels like her underlings keep dropping the ball! They missed out on their chance to catch the bird-monster. Two of her human-monsters went missing for multiple days and they still have no idea what happened. Also a good portion of her plan seems to depend on her adopted daughter getting together with the doctor...I don't have any experience in the matter, but romance feels like a pretty inefficient way to take over the world 🤣 If she's the CEO of a pharmaceutical giant, shouldn't she be figuring out some sort of biotech way to get regenerative blood?

I'm only about 10 episodes in so I don't know if they release more info later, but there were no additional details in that convo between Bai and his mom.

I feel like either Yan Tou is required for social status reasons (so she can justify being CEO of his dad's company?) or they've got plans to change him into a monster at some later stage...

The bird-monster escaping from the door left unlocked was apparently intentional, which is explained after the fact. But yes, for a team of "heroes", they're quite terrible at what they do. How do you put a team together to rescue one elder (the one missing a leg) only to let a different elder get kidnapped (and have multiple people injured in the process)? Thankfully the other side isn't much smarter haha

It looks like an extended scene from that episode they had to cut out for timing purposes. Often you can tell exactly where in the episode that scene was supposed to be. Skipping it won't prevent you from understanding the plot, it's just a little bit of extra dialogue.

Based on the streaming clip, I can confirm her response was accurately translated. While the wording might have been misleading, she basically said that the audience will not be satisfied with an unfinished show cut to appear complete, and that the audience will direct that dissatisfaction towards the actors (incl. her). If the show doesn't air the production team will have to shoulder the loss, but she thinks this is fair because the monetary loss of the production is way less than the monetary loss she's had to shoulder this year.

I'm a fan of Lusi but don't enjoy contemporary romance, so it doesn't matter to me if this particular show airs or not. She seems to be on the mend and hopefully we'll see her returning to acting within the next year. I agree with her concern about receiving hate if the show airs as a heavily-edited incomplete cut, but I think her point that the production team should shoulder this loss just because its lesser than her loss is a bit of a stretch. Hopefully stuff will work out, maybe her new agency will be willing to cover enough of the production's losses and talk them into not airing, or they can make it extremely clear when they do air that this show is incomplete and the actors are not to blame.

I just want to pop into this conversation to make 2 points:
1. The first COVID vaccine released in China was not an mRNA vaccine, but a "traditional" protein-based formula created by a Chinese company back in spring of 2020 (it was called the Sinopharm BIBP vaccine, if you want to look into it). There are a lot of complicated geopolitical/financial reasons why they didn't roll out the Pfizer/Moderna formulas that we don't need to get into, I'm just pointing this out to say that while it is likely she got vaccinated for COVID that year, it is VERY VERY unlikely she received an mRNA vaccine.
2. Her symptoms started (as per her own post) in 2019. COVID wasn't really a thing until the end of 2019 and there were no vaccines available (specifically no mRNA vaccines available anywhere in the world) until 2020.

Regardless of how you personally feel about vaccines, it isn't appropriate to bring it up in this kind of post. I hope we can all acknowledge that Lusi has had a very fast-paced, very busy, very successful, and thus likely very stressful career in the last few years. I for one have seen many of her shows and I can tell she's a hardworking gal. Stress can really mess with your body even in the best of situations and all we can hope for her is time and space for a full recovery.

I don't think so. In the wrap up episode they were making plans for next season's vacation special, so I think the team intends to keep going.

Why? I love this show!

The woman (and the trafficking team) suspected that they were being infiltrated by an undercover police officer but they didn't know who it was. The officer's childhood photo got publicized accidentally when he was profiled in an article (the newspaper was supposed to keep the officer's identity a secret since he's an active investigator but released the childhood photo). Since Shen Yi could predict a person's adult face based on childhood photos, the woman went to him with the photo and he ended up exposing the undercover officer to them without knowing the context.
