ep 19 is an exciting new arch in FWZ's chapter. We get to see upper society and how they run business in corporate level. Seems like FWZ wants to be CEO assistant for experience as she's still running her own business on the side

I'm so proud and happy for Xing Ke! I was worried he's come back to the real world with resentment and desolution, instead he's very openminded and amazingly got his bachelors and now aiming for masters! His future is still very bright

I’m on episode 17 right now, and I really wish she would take Gao Xiang’s advice more seriously. He’s been genuinely supportive and has helped her so much over the years, so it feels frustrating to see his friendship and kindness brushed aside like that. The whole situation with the factory owner suddenly asking for $4 million also seems pretty suspicious. At times she comes across as a bit headstrong and overly confident, and it makes me worry she might be overlooking some important warning signs-which I'm sure she did

Gao Xiang often mentions his students, like where he gets the money and intel from, but I suspect it's from his father or his father's company. I bet he's a wealthy dude himself. If they are students where would they have all these money and intel. Very sus haha

Yes!! I saw it's now broadcasting on cctv 1 and it also peaked 1% avg and no 1 on that time slot!

Never said education is bad, but she needs to go back for the right cause and education that can help her in her goals/career. I'm aware she goes back for night school for business or something, which I wholeheartedly agree she should do. Can't succeed without proper knowledge of that specific area. However, going back to her uni and to her program to finish that 1 year to get a degree that she no longer would need in the field is a waste of time.

Education doesn't make me pressed, it's you pressing the fl to go to college is annoying

Yea, Ik it's not used for educational business tools. I'm just saying what she said was very smart.

Ep 14 enlightened me on business tracastions/deals.
-buy supply from factory--> sell to consumers=$
-but supply from factory --> sell to whole sale --?sell to consumers =$$

by being the inbetween party of production/factory and whole same, the inbetween person makes a load more. FWZ gained enlightment from this.

MD was on Beijing newspaper!

She goes back to college and then what? Go back to Shenzhen and continue where she left off. Why waste a year in college when she can gain more expereince in the real world. 80s-90s in Shenzhen is so propsperous that it's real when one isn't afraid if working hard and enduring hardship can become successful and rich. I heard my mom say it all the time, and she would often say if she never immigrated she would've started a second hand clothing store with her friend and most likely would've been successful given the market.

I only finished up to ep 14 today, so maybe there's more "good fortune" that I haven't seen yet in upcoming eps. However, if you mean the "good fortune" from her adopted family resources such has her dad being vice mayor, and college etc. then I think it's because of guilt. After realizing she has no blood ties with adopted dad, there's this invisible line she couldn't cross anymore. I find it natural that behaviour will change and can't go back to how it was. For me, I wouldn't be able to throw attitude and tantrum on my parents anymore, bc I don't have that confidence and arrogance. No matter how in the past when I acted and my parents would dote on me. The perception and knowledge has change. That said, it's because of guilt. Fwz believes this love, resource anything adopted family gave her didn't belong to her. It's like she took someone's place. So, in order for her to lessen her conscience and to find another way to accept this she has to prove her worth. Hence why she wants to make it big, be successful in ShenZhen. So that one day she can be proud, she doesn't want to lose face to her adopted dad and she doesn't want him to worry or know her woes. She rather hide her troubles. I find that's very common in Chinese culture vs Western.

Ep 12-When adopted dad visited fwz. I feel like bc communication isn't as convenient and instant like today, it's always a waiting game. Poor man, everytime to see his daughter he waits half a day for her and by the time they do meet his time is running up and he has to leave.

When he was looking at her intently, without blinking his eyes, afraid that a blink is a second less of seeing her. My heart broke a bit. This reminded me of the live stream when actor wang jin song (adopted dad) said that FWZ has many important people and things in her life (at that stage in her life as she's in her 20s) and he's one of them, while to MSY (adoped dad) FWZ is the only person/thing that's important to him

Yes, that's a cute mini series too!

When Fwz started work at the clothing factory and being ostracized, I felt that. Strugglying together with a bestie is better than struggling alone. I'm glad LJ is there to boost Fwz's confidence. The sisterly bond is just everything. Along with the father daughter duos ofc

Amazing results so far! I've never seen such positive word of mouth, review and buzz for a drama of this type, and of ss' drama. ss' drama typically get's anti's joining in to rally up, but I can't even see any anti posts. Or more like all the real, authentic posts overshadow any efforts the antis made. I go on weibo, douyin, little red book and all posts are positive. It's a drama that creates discussion, reflection, brings memories, reminisce. I keep reading comments that it brings the whole generation of families together in one place to watch TV. It's very heartwarming to know that a vast majority enjoy this drama and enjoy ss. It's another acknoledgement of her acting, and the cast as well!

I find admirable from fwz is her willingness to try new things, not being afraid to start fresh and from the bottom, dipping her toes in all aspects in life to find her true calling, while still instilling her mom's values and philosphy.

SS or TSY posted on her wb account regarding fwz's feelings and perspective on how she felt about her relationship with her adoptived father and why she couldn't say "dad". If you get a chance, I recommend you go there to have a read. Translation to Eng is available on that app (that's how I survive there)

This has nothing to do with old liu's approval of lj wedding with the soldier. His son SAed Fwz when he grabbed her from behind. There was no warning, NO CONSENT. That's workplace sexual harrassment, scaring fwz to the point she felt unsafe that she needed to wield a knife against him to protect herself. That's the part I was mad. Then he also got qianqian preggo, and If I rmb correctly it was during the time he and her drove to buy food supplies. That was before he even SAed fwz, so he's frolicking with qianqian and then confessing and coarcing fwz in to a relationship with him. He's a freaken horny ass. I will be judgemental with this, this can't be overlooked just bc his dad has a bit more moral.

At that moment, I felt like it was. LJ said old liu saw her as a candidate for his son. His son acts like an unrestrained horny teen that he has to control and reel in. I do agree, he provides a safe space for the girls and he does have boundaries. He at first thought fwz was a pumpkin from the country side,but after knowing her adoptive parents he felt embarassed to matchmake.

I just noticed fl has a dimple on her right cheek and her lil sis has dimple on left cheek. That's soo cute. The casting was done well for this little detail.
