Too big of storyline spouted too many directories.
Two psycho chick's and one major control and obsessive psycho male. Lin Xiao (FL) cries too dang much. Both her and her Jian Xi (ML) no willing to communicate with honesty... by overthrowing. Also self guilt, and thinking they are sparing unnecessary misunderstanding...yet by not being honesty is why they end up with painful results.
The psycho whack job Lin Quan just pushed every button and steal all the attentiveness from Jian Xi.. Lin Quan have been told repeatedly by Jian Xi that he will never accept her affection, he only love Lin Xiao.

Lin Quan annoys me.
She ruined Jain Xi's love life. He is not in love with her. He was just feeling obligated to save her from falling into a same psychological end result. She is still psycho, just more controlled. At the end he told her afain for the hundredeth times, he is NOT IN LOVE with her... he love belongs to only one person. He finally sent her off, this she obliged. Jian Xi returns

another character Gu Li kept a very personal horrific experience that caused her to loose her friends especially the man who truly loves her no matter how manipulating his mom was.
moral to this whole series is to be honest, speak up, quite justifying your motive to hide behind white lies is to spare others feelings. Because that is not how it works
