I just saw a preview for the next episode where XW is crying and breaking down in front of QY because Yang burned down Xuan Island. So the cops lost him. Again! This is getting really tiresome now. Why do the villains always get so much leeway? 😪 The poor guy hasn't had a single peaceful day in Zhazhating. When is Wu finally going to get some good days without constant worries? It's high time he left the town. 😞
His sister did read him the riot act by saying that he had a victim mentality, and that he blamed the world for…
Holding grudges doesn't always mean seeking revenge. It can also mean not forgetting or forgiving the person who caused the harm.
Wu always struck me as a soft-hearted guy with a tough exterior, but I thought that side of him was reserved for the people he loved. That's why he never seemed to hold it against his mother, even when she was at fault. What I didn't realize was that he would extend that same grace to people who don't deserve it.
Back in Episode 5, when that neighbor tried to harass Ye, Wu took action immediately. Yes, the cop gave him a warning, but what was he supposed to do—sit back and wait for the police to arrive after the damage had already been done?
I do think he should've been much firmer in how he handled Ping and shouldn't have dropped the charges. By doing so, he was essentially letting Ping off the hook for the crimes he committed.

Yeah, the loopholes in the writing are becoming really apparent now. Apart from the fact that the bad guys always seem to get away with their crimes and the police only arrive after everything is already over, I also feel like the writers have changed Wu's character a bit.
He suddenly seems more like a soft-hearted guy with a tough outer shell. Or maybe he's always been like that?
I mean, how does he have no grudge against someone who ruined his future? How did he just stand there and take all those hits from Ping until he started talking about messing with Ye? And how could he drop the charges after hearing that someone was going after the girl he likes?
Honestly, he should've shown both Ping and Yang what hell looks like before sending them to jail. This whole "forgive the criminals" trope just doesn't sit right with me.

Perhaps she's speaking from her own experience. 🫢 I can't help wondering whether she would've been so desperate to stop her brother from hurting Wu if QY hadn't given up her Winter Camp spot for her.
Given everything she did and all the damage they caused WuYe, Fan should've done this herself without QY's insistence. That's why I'm kinda bummed that QY ended up including her in their group in the end.
And then there's the fact that Wu didn't press any charges against him. He's being way too generous toward a criminal.
I wanted to see him beat the Yang gang's ass and watch them end up behind bars, but those guys were nowhere to be found. 😑
"Two years in a cell, while my sister got bullied... you can never make up for that."
Had to pause the scene and comment here because what kind of sick-ass mentality is this?! Whose fault is it that you ended up in jail? And whose sister got bullied? Is that person in the room with us? Oh, he's sick beyond repair. How do I e-slap someone?!
She wants them to reconcile so cao ping doesn’t do something crazy that will ruin Xing Wu future. His grades…
After the way Ping treated QY, and considering that she already knew what he had done to Wu, I don't think it was a wise decision on her part—especially since she's usually so sharp-minded.
This isn't some petty high school fight where kids shake hands and make up. What that thug did in the past was a criminal offense, and he's already shown signs that he's capable of doing even worse things. At that point, reconciliation feels like a futile option.
If she really wanted to do her part and keep Wu from becoming consumed by thoughts of Ping, she shouldn't have gotten involved with the Cao siblings in the first place. First, she stood up for her bully. Then she helped save Fan's life. And now she's thinking about reconciling an ex-con with Wu.
She's playing with fire, and sooner or later she's going to get burned. Wu can't escape his fate. His circumstances and misfortune led him to cross paths with that jerk in the first place. Ultimately, this is a problem Wu has to overcome himself.
Sadly, tomorrow’s episode gets scarier, but hopefully he will be all right. And I agree with everything you…
Oh no!! I couldn't even watch the slashing scene properly today because I already knew that was where he was going to get the knife scar. I kept looking away because I couldn't bear to watch him get hurt.
Now I don't know how I'm going to get through tomorrow's episode. 🫠🥲
I wonder if this attempted murder scene happens as a consequence of QY trying to mediate between Ping and Wu and things taking a turn for the worse. Honestly, I was so frustrated with her in today's episode. I don't understand how she could even think about reconciling Wu and Ping when she saw firsthand how dangerous that guy was.
She needed to stay as far away from the Cao siblings as possible, and she definitely shouldn't have let Wu join her to save Cao Fan. But she did exactly the opposite!
Or maybe it's because Ping meant what he said? He did say he'd settle everything once and for all within three days, so that was pretty much a warning of what was to come. 🥲
Also, I don't think Wu alone is enough. His friends aren't nearly as formidable as he is. If he were to take on those hooligans, it would become a one-against-many situation, and that's probably how he ends up getting stabbed.
Sadly, tomorrow’s episode gets scarier, but hopefully he will be all right. And I agree with everything you…
I couldn't bring myself to watch the preview for the next episode... Is it going to be even worse than the stabbing?! I'm so done with the Cao siblings and Ping's thug gang.
He's following the stupid logic of "you hurt my sister, so I'll hurt you," while completely ignoring basic…
I'm even more frustrated with QY, you know. Like, there's a time and place for generosity, but read the room, girl.
First, you're standing up for your bully. Then you put yourself in a situation where her idiot brother thinks you caused all of this. And now you're even thinking about mediating between them and helping them reconcile after what you saw he almost did to you, and after everything he did to Wu?!
idk wtf is wrong with cao ping ,like what's the point of hurting qing ye??
He's following the stupid logic of "you hurt my sister, so I'll hurt you," while completely ignoring basic decency and taking his anger out on the wrong person. Their scenes are pissing me off, tbh.
Sometimes you should just mind your own business and stop trying to save everyone, especially people who remain ungrateful and spiteful no matter what you do. Cao Fan is a perfect example.
I understand that Qing Ye is kind-hearted and can't stand injustice, but that doesn't mean she should go out of her way to have her bully's back! The Cao siblings are a bunch of insecure, jealous thugs. Getting involved with them is just inviting trouble into your life.
Cao Fan bullies everyone, yet tells her brother that she's the one being bullied. She hid what really happened and made Ping think that QY and XW were responsible for her fainting. She could have simply said that they took care of her and brought her to the hospital with their teacher, but no.
IDC how difficult their circumstances were. I couldn't care less about their misfortune. Everyone has struggles. Life is hard and unfair. That doesn't give you the right to ruin other people's lives.
Today's comment section made it feel like we were back to the days when the drama had just started airing and half the viewers were confused and questioning the relationship between the main leads. I guess this will keep happening until the final week of the drama. 😪
Dear new viewers,
They're NOT COUSINS, ONLY FAMILY FRIENDS. The ML's mother was taken in by the FL's grandparents when she was young, and she came to regard the FL's mother as a younger sister. They weren't related by blood, nor was there any legal adoption, just a bond built on sisterly affection and friendship. For everyone's sanity, I now really wish the drama had introduced them as family friends in Episode 1 instead!
Cao Ping came, and with him, the bad-boy Xing Wu is back! One glimpse of him fighting those hooligans and one scene of him flirting with Qing Ye, and I'm already craving more 🫢🫣
☀️ Did you sleep last night? ⚫ No. ☀️ Why? ⚫ I was thinking all night. ☀️ About what? ⚫ About you. ☀️ Oh you mean you were thinking about the study methods I taught you? ⚫ Never mind
That's a confession. I repeat, THAT'S A CONFESSION!! And our shy Qing Ye couldn't pick up on it!!! And to think she was the one who complained about him not being romantic at all while they were releasing a sky lantern just a few episodes ago?! 😭
I was feeling all giddy and gushing over how domestic they're becoming, them crushing on each other, and her getting nervous over that indirect coffee mug kiss (iykyk 😗). Then Cao Ping appeared, and my mood instantly dropped. Bruh couldn't have picked a worse time to get out of jail and ruin their lives! Just when he was focusing on his studies and dreaming about college life!!
Dear new watcher, No, they are not blood-related cousins. Ml's mom was fostered by Fl's grandparents. The drama…
Very important daily reminder 😤 There should be a separate tag here under the drama's name that says "Not Cousins, Only Family Friends" for everyone's sanity!
They're so calm even when they're jealous 😹. Never in my decades of drama-watching have I seen such a composed pair of lead characters before. Plus, they're such cuties that they can't even stay mad at each other for long, hehe.
what I like about this drama is the couple balanced each other, they make each other a better version of themselves…
Indeed! They complement each other so well. What's even more impressive to me is Qing Ye's character growth. She's as emotionally intelligent and mature as Xing Wu, if not more.
In the first two episodes, she was prejudiced against Zhazhating town, partly because it was a completely different world from the one she grew up in. Her initial repulsion wasn't unnatural, given that she was used to a pampered and sheltered life before arriving there. It was also because her uncle had taught her that money solves every problem, so she started using money as a solution to everything, which was what irritated Xing Wu the most.
As she started living there and experienced the genuine care and affection of the people around her, her perception gradually changed. She adapted to the town and eventually became one of them.
When grandma was in the hospital and Qing Ye knew how difficult it would be for Xing Wu to get through that period alone because of their financial struggles, she accepted her wealthy classmate's offer to tutor him. Later, when he offered her even more money to help her out, she refused, saying that she used to think money could solve every problem too.
At first, I didn't understand that part. I kept thinking that most of their current problems stemmed from financial burdens, so wasn't it true that money would solve a lot of them?
But then I saw her say that she'd support Xing Wu in whatever he chose to do because she trusted that whatever decision he made would be for the best. That's when it clicked for me. She realized that what he needed more than money was someone who would stay by his side, believe in his capabilities, and trust him to make his own choices.
It's very refreshing to see a character arc like that. Sorry for yapping so much, but I just love them haha.
It's rare to see such mature fl characters in current dramas.
