When Xu Yan said she wants to be the source of her own happiness, I'm fully convinced a lot of viewers weren't…
My intepretation of that scene is that HM used Yan's success to help her. He was just the messanger.
The Russian wife for instance- she was solely Yan's success story. The issue was that the world has no idea just how great Yan is at what she does. All he did was promote her efforts using his connections as opposed to using his money and sponsorship to boost her career like he did during her Host days.
Was he meddling? Yes, but he did it in a better way this time. Being independant is great but part of being a successful CEO is to know when to get help.
Yan is still her source of happiness- HM just helped to promote it further🙊
his secretary isn't, but his lawyer is, starting around dep 21-22 maybe? still seeing how it will unfold though
Lawyer is bad- he seems to be the godson of the rival.
SFL- the lawyer manipulated her into joining forces with him after Haoming threw her out of his life. It's not clear though if she purposely hurts him later in the series since the latest preview of her hints that she accidentally revealed his secret while being drunk.
Secretary is Lin Chen (the guy who always calls HM with Yan's updates) but not sure what the lawyer's name is.
Give Yan a chance- they might have purposely ended the episode at THAT point to entice viewers🙈
It seems like the director's intension with the end of ep 25 is to give the drama the chance to give the couple a moment of drunken "truth". Saw a few teasers on X that imply that HM and Yan had a fight during or after the celebration seeing as they are both hammered.
The fact that Yan ended up doing an interesting thing without thinking when she had to go back to her Apt. (won't spoil it in case you don't know) is definitely going to make HM feel better since now he knows for sure. 🙈
I fully agree with you after watching ep 25! What happened to FL? Or was it just an act? Her slimy investor -…
Yes- and even more than this scene, there are several points where his actions prove that he must have at the very least liked and cared about her during the time he allegedly didn't. For example, on her birthday he was happily fixing up the same lamps that were later used as part of the surprise decor. If he didn't like her, he could have made his secretary do it or at the very least he wouldn't have a genuinely happy aura while tinkering them 🙈 There are a few other koments like this as well.

He always did. He loved her but also saw her potential. After finding out she was a fraud and naturally thinking she's a gold digger (and a good one too since she managed to trick him), he closed his heart. But you can still capture glimpses of his love through his actions. He probably exaggerated his hate just like how he did it during the car fight scene🤪
Bro hasn't met a real gold digger I guess or else he would have understood Yan was being sincere from the beginning 🥲
Guess he never expected Yan to love him so much to the point that she'd build a fake persona.

Personally I felt that Yan was just trying to be a good CEO by making the investor happy (he did risk a lot for her afterall). Since HM is an expert at pleasing investors, she could have just assumed that HM wouldn't mind if she thanked Liang first- specially since she did warn him previously that she will have to work closely with Liang.
Guess Yan underestimated HM and his jealousy streak (specially based on ep 26's preview)🙈
Did you see ep 26's preview? A very drunk Yan demanded that she wanted to go home? What are the odds that she will force Lin and the taxi driver to drop her at her actual home? Where she used to live with HM I mean🙈
QQ.......Anyone???I am still starting out and confused...So, ML had a relationship with Fang Lei's sister when…
Fang Lei always had a crush on him- even when the sister was alive. Based on the flashbacks, HM only saw her as a little sister. She didn't even appear in his memories with his ex eventhough she was in the same room in that particular flashback.

What I like most is how both characters are so strong. Both alone and together. ❤️
Even I missed a lot of things/ forgot but after rewatching, everything made more sense 🙈

Didn't realize that there were so many awful characters😅
There are many teasers out today- looks like we are going to get the calm before the storm today🙈

I kept wondering why they kept focussing on the plants but it didn't hit me until the mum uprooted them🙈

If this was one of those 10min short episode cdramas, I wouldn't be surprised if this happened but idk if we have enough episodes for it to happem🙈
And in this life, Lin Tao is the reason why Xu Yan got to reconnect with her sister.
Lin Tao better not be evil 🙈
Edit: I got the HL reference wrong earlier so I have corrected it.

The drama has too much drama to add this storyline i guess. Besides they were already broken up at that point so there's no motivation.🙈
