In the beginning both main characters are immature, Yu Chang Xuan is a rich boy who doesn't care much about anything, then he meets Ye Ping Jun, he starts to become obsessed and really struggles with his feelings and actions towards her. This is where you will read many comments on him being a misogynist. And yes he is down right cruel towards her. She instantly has him labeled in her head and no matter what he does or doesn't do ( even though he saves her repeatedly) she wants nothing to do with him. Yu Chang Xuan, matures early on after his first time on the battlefield. This is where he realizes that you can't force someone to stay, unless they are willing. Ye Ping Jun, is in a coma for 2 years, after a fire, his devotion towards her is astounding and beyond commendable. Once she wakes up she starts to see him in a new light since she doesn't have her past prejudices towards him already in her head due to her amnesia. Ye Ping Jun, also eventually matures as well. I'm going to say it took twice as many episodes for Ye Ping Jun to change and come to terms with her feelings for Yu Chang Xuan. And that is the point when their journey begins together. Cheng Lei acting was superb, he made you feel everything Yu Chang Xuan was feeling along with him. Strikingly handsome and he had enough passion for the both of them. I really appreciate dramas that are written in a way to where you root for the main character. Without giving away too many spoilers, I think it's important to keep in mind the era that this drama is set in, this is not modern day, the times and people were different back then. All in all this is a definite watch. Great job by the cast and crew. ❤️
