I will be honest, I skipped every scene involving the step-brothers. It makes me uncomfortable how the younger one got XingSi drunk and forcibly slept with him. On top of that filmed the whole encounter. Yeah, that ended well when it was shown to the dad, right? What is even more fucked up is the mother being aware of everything and encouraging the younger brother? His reasoning is just bullshit to me. Who is he to decide that he's the best person for XingSi to be with? Someone who is so obsessed that they would r*** their step-brother in an attempt to be with him is messed up in the head and needs help. For me, he basically emotionally blackmailed XingSi to be with him. That is the one thing I hate about this series, is how they romanticized what happened to XingSi, made him forgive his younger brother, and jump into a relationship with him.

As for the main couple, it was both cute and heartbreaking to see their journey. I understand some people not understanding Licheng "I'm not interested in guys, just TingTing" but it's not hard to understand. It just means that LiCheng loves TingTing on an emotional level. For him, he fell for the person, not the gender and he at least, did not do any fucked up shit to be with TingTing. Instead, when TingTing rejected him, he backed off. I loved their pairing and they really sold their character and brought some redemption to the series.
