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.

Sure-the 1 per day is annoying anyway so bingeing might make it easier.

Apparently I was right 🙈

Lmao this is ultra makjang ngl 🤣🤣🤣

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🙈

Fun fact- in another life, Lin Tao's wife was one of the reasons why Sang Zhi (another life of Xu Yan) got together her first love.

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.

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🙈

Since the sister was out with her friends, probably not but honestly wouldn't be surprised 🙈

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.🙈

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.

I don't think the parents will get another redemption arc. The Shens already accepted her true identity so she no longer has that pressure hanging over her head. At best the parents will be tollerated (like what she's been doing so far).

Give Yan a chance- they might have purposely ended the episode at THAT point to entice viewers🙈

The fact that we are more invested in the previews now than the actual episodes 🙈

The person who picked the teaser clip scenes should get a raise🤭

The investor did help the brand by not cutting ties despite all the pressure he got. It would have been brand suicide if he left. Even if Haoming helped to salvage it after the investor left, the damage would be irreversible and all of Yan's hardwork would be destroyed. We might get an answer in ep 26 as to why Yan didn't mention HM at the end.🙊

Exactly!!! I feel the same! It's like he's at war with himself. The scene where he's happily preparing for Yan's birthday says it all. He was keeping her at a distance at the time but at the same time he was looking forward to celebrate it with her.🙈

His redemption arc is handled quite well honestly. It can be over the top at times but you can feel his sincereity 🙊 Yan too- she seriously has blossomed into wuite the fighter.

It's also really uncomfortable how he keeps mentionning how he has no job.....specially knowing why he is unemployed (Haoming).

I feel that in ep 25, they showed XY’s shift in feeling for SHM. While he didn’t use his funds, he still pulled the strings and manipulated the public’s opinion as well as the suppliers. While being grateful for his support, if this happened earlier, she would have called him out. But now Yan is slowly melting. She didn’t even hesitate to accept his ride back to the studio (something she would have totally rejected previously no matter how grateful she was).

There’s personal growth since Yan is now confidant in herself and is willing to accept HM’s resources now without feeling uncomfortable about it.

Seriously wish if we could go back to the 2 epi per day format though 🫠

Nah drunk with happiness 😂 Liang is living up to his playboy title. No wonder poor Haoming looses it in ep 26😂

Definitely! Who’d put a kid through so much pain?? Haha true! The way he looked at Yan at the end of the clip is as if he saw a goddess 🙈

Investors usually get priority-specially in this case, the fact that Liang continued to support them by going against his sister and company is also a big deal. If the public found out that their sole investor cut ties, the brand probably wouldn’t have been able to recover the way they did.

Since SHM is family and he knows the importance of keeping investors happy, perhaps it didn’t occur to Yan that he’d take it the wrong way?
Rookie mistake honestly considering how silly SHM has been lately🙈

Just when I thought XY couldn't impress me more...she went above and beyond.

As for those parasites....how shameless can you be to ask such questions infront of someone so young?🤦‍♀️

Personally I'm a sucker for redemption story arcs and I quite like how the couple is written. Him being rediculous makes sense to me since he doesn't have experience nor does he have any friends who could actually give him solid advice.

They both messed up but do not deserve to be hurt forever.

Haoming knew about Yan even before she got to meet him in ep1 afterall- he's always prepared. Did he truly approach her with the intension of taking advantage of her? I don't think so. He seems to enjoy putting people in their place so I feel like in ep 1, he played along with her "Amy" identity with the intension of teaching her a lesson on trying to manipulate people into joining her show but the way she handled the fake interview must have truly impressed him. He finally has met his equal in scheming.

Since he is business minded, it's possible that he did fall for her at the time and at the same time he saw her potential to help him? Two things can be true at the same time (and is realistic-people are more likely to pick a successful partner afterall)🙈

Once he realized that she was a fraud/ "gold digger", he decided to continue with the relationship since even if he didn't have her heart at least she is still useful and secretly downgraded himself from "Lover" to "Personal Investor Husband" instead? Since Yan truly did love him, he didn't really get to see the dark side of being with an actual gold digger so he was fine with the life they had....until the crazy sister destroyed everything.

He sucks for not trying to understand Yan considering how there was tangible proof of her sincereity but at the same time, it's hard to judge without experiencing what he went through😅

At least he's desperate enough now to make a huge fool of himself so that's something🙈

What's your take?
