When my mother was undergoing surgery, I couldn't sleep all night due to anxiety. When she came out of the operating room, I looked at her and nearly burst into tears. Only the closest people can truly feel the kind of tension and fear that I experienced.
Outsiders simply cannot comprehend it.

Yin Le and Xi Xi's ending not being together perfectly echoes the conversation between Ding Laoshi and Yin Le in the hospital room. Ding Laoshi understands that his daughter won't be bound by emotions and will chase her dreams.
The conversation encourages Yin Le to support and embrace Xi Xi to some extent, indirectly giving him advice. At the same time, it is also to ensure that his daughter can pursue her dreams without worries and wholeheartedly devote herself to her passion.
In the end, when Yin Le watches Ding Laoshi alone, it shows that he understands the meaning behind it. He didn't trap Xi Xi in the name of love. Perhaps they would have a brief happiness in a passionate romance, but the things Xi Xi gave up for this relationship would gradually become a burden on their love, making the ending of this relationship not ideal.
Compared to the other couples, they have too many uncertainties. Xi Xi's career is still being explored and practiced, while Yin Le is steadily pursuing what he wants to do. After they have experienced growth, when they look back at this relationship, they will become the person they want to be in their beloved life.
In their hearts, the other person will still be the same as when they first met. That's the true meaning of "meeting after a long separation, hope you're well.

Couldn't Dong first pass the exam and then go find Xiao Yin? He could have found an accounting job for himself, while Xiao Yin continues to run the Murder Mystery Cafe. Both of them could still be together.
Wouldn't that be a more realistic choice? As an actor, shouldn't Dong strive for a more practical path when presented with such a script? There's no one stopping you from wearing the "love-struck" label, but it's truly a decision that no one can intervene in.
CarefreeSoul1 year ago4episode 34
Can someone tell me why Dong Jia Xi and Yin Le couldn't be together for a lifetime after they went through the toughest times together? What else could be an obstacle when they chose to accompany each other on this journey?
In the final scene, Yin Le also went to the cemetery. It has been a year, is there still a chance for them to be together, an imagining that they can't let go of?

I have a Ding Yu Lan-style mom, haha. This kind of woman lives her whole life with a sense of loss of control caused by her upbringing or personal experiences. She constantly lives in extreme anxiety and unease. As long as things don't align with her ideology, she manipulates others mentally without even realizing it.
My mom is even worse. What's most ridiculous is that Ding Yu Lan is still a high school teacher who has also experienced the hardships of single-parenting and raising a daughter alone. Despite all the hardships she has faced, it hasn't truly helped her grow or develop genuine self-awareness.
She is the true frog at the bottom of the well.

At the age of 20, the rebellious phase of this kid is long gone. Children from wealthy families, they never complete their sentences because it takes away the fun. Kids from less privileged backgrounds don't have the luxury of a rebellious phase; their environment doesn't allow them to be so willful.
Honestly, spoiled brats don't appreciate what they have. They wouldn't understand the struggles others face, so they indulge in unnecessary drama.

Finally, Wu Yun has found her own romantic connection. It's amazing how an average-looking girl with no outstanding talent can also have a fulfilling and happy relationship. It's probably because of her kindness, simplicity, and those interesting souls who are helpful and supportive.
The young boy is also a match for her. This seems to be a relationship where they are closer in nature and mutually attracted. Before pursuing a girl, it's important to understand your own needs and expectations.
Reflect on what you truly hope to gain from this relationship and what you can offer to the other person.
This will help you better assess compatibility and lay the foundation for the future relationship. Confidence is key to attracting others.
Believe in your own worth and charm, and showcase your strengths and talents.
Cultivate a positive self-image, which will make you more confident and appealing when interacting with her. Show your care and interest, listen to her thoughts and feelings.
Respect her opinions and demonstrate your maturity and thoughtfulness.
Through good communication, you can better understand her and build trust and intimacy. When pursuing a girl, don't try to change yourself to fit her expectations.
Show your true personality and interests, allowing her to know the real you.
This will help establish an authentic and stable relationship. Show your attentiveness and thoughtfulness, paying attention to her needs and feelings.
Provide help and support, making her feel your care and warmth. It's often the small details that can touch the heart, so pay attention to her preferences and interests, bringing her surprises and joy.
If she's not interested in you or doesn't want to pursue a further relationship, respect her choice and look for other opportunities.
Don't force or pressure her into making a decision. Building a deep relationship takes time and patience. Don't rush and give each other enough time to understand and adapt to one another.
Maintaining interaction and communication with her and establishing good trust and shared future plans are crucial.

Indeed, even though Pei Pei's mother's actions may not directly contribute to Pei Pei's work output and instead increase her workload, her intentions stem from love and care for Pei Pei.
She may not fully understand the nature and requirements of Pei Pei's work, but she hopes to help Pei Pei expand her business and improve her performance in her own way.
In this situation, Pei Pei can try to communicate with her mother, explaining her job responsibilities and requirements, allowing her to understand the pressures and challenges she faces at work.
At the same time, she can express her gratitude and appreciation while also requesting that her mother respect her work and personal preferences.
Additionally, Pei Pei can consider how to improve her work efficiency and quality to cope with the increased workload.
She can establish more reasonable work plans and schedules, acquire more sales techniques and methods to enhance her job performance.
Overall, parental love is selfless, but when accepting their help, we also need to consider our own circumstances and personal desires.
Good communication and understanding with parents are crucial, and we should respect each other's thoughts and feelings to achieve better family relationships and work outcomes.

Life is about gaining and losing, choosing and letting go. So, don't take things too seriously with others because it's not worth it. Don't take things too seriously with yourself because you can't afford to get hurt.
Don't dwell on the past because it has no value. Don't get caught up in reality because you still need to move forward.
Wishing you happiness and joy every day.

I've come across many comments saying that Dong Jia Xi is a failure, but I don't think it's fair to say that. She completed her postgraduate studies in a different field and managed to find a job in Beijing on her own.
If it weren't for her mother falling ill, she might have already become a scriptwriter or an assistant director by now.
Her mother wanted her to have a "safety net" in life, but nowadays, there's no such thing as a guaranteed job.
Jia Xi lied, lacks social experience, and was deceived. But isn't it also because of her mother's constant "planning" and "control" that she ended up this way?
To be honest, Dong Jia Xi studied accounting in her undergraduate years, and her mother had already pushed her to her limits even before the surgery.
It's true that it was after her mother's surgery that she acted inconsistently, so both of them bear some responsibility.
Melancholic C Note1 year ago1episode 31
There are always people saying that Jia Xi's mother's love is suffocating, but I disagree. It wasn't when she returned from Beijing that her mother asked her to take the CPA exam; it was decided a long time ago.
The intention was to secure a stable job for her in the future, and her mother agreed to let her choose a job she liked and supported her in exploring different options. But what were the results?
She excelled in the theater and demonstrated creativity and imagination.
Her mother agreed to let her stay in Beijing, even without informing her about her illness. However, she lost her job, had her ideas stolen by others, and couldn't join a studio. When she returned and started looking for work, it wasn't smooth sailing.
And then her mother was diagnosed with cancer, which made her more determined to have Jia Xi pass the CPA exam, just in case the surgery didn't succeed.
But what if her mother passes away? What will Jia Xi do without a stable job or a specific skill?
Sell insurance with Pei Jie? Become an internet celebrity with Dan Dan? Work at the neighborhood committee with Yun Mei? Can friends support you for a lifetime? If being an internet celebrity is so profitable, why aren't all four of them doing it?
Why aren't they in the same field?
Her mother doesn't have the luxury to plan for the future anymore. With cancer, time is limited. Even if Jia Xi changes her career path after passing the exam, she can still pursue it later.
Is there no difference between passing and not passing the exam?
If she doesn't take the exam and her current career isn't going well, can she easily switch to another field without a certification? Her mother simply wants her to finish the exam, obtain the certification, and have more options in the future.
Whether she chooses to pursue that path or not is another matter. Did Jia Xi listen?
She didn't even study. She kept lying, wanting to write scripts and go out to play. Can't she study for the CPA exam? Would it delay her learning?
It wouldn't, but she just refuses to study. Can her mother not be angry? Can you say her mother's concerns are completely unfounded?
Does that constitute suffocating? Are people so fragile? Why are there so many people taking the postgraduate entrance exams after graduating from university?
According to your logic, shouldn't they venture out early? Is it the same thing? Her mother didn't object to her dating or pursuing other jobs. It's only because she failed that her mother encouraged her to take the exam, so that she wouldn't have to settle for just any job to make ends meet.
Just like me, when I graduated, I didn't take the teacher's exam because I didn't want to teach. I wanted to explore other opportunities, and now I deeply regret it. Apart from working as a security guard in a factory or hotel, it's hard to find other jobs.
That's why I think her mother is actually good. It's not as suffocating as you all make it out to be. It's just my personal opinion.

Nowadays, people are choosing not to marry or have children, and their parents are getting anxious and frustrated about it. Does it really make a big difference compared to Dong Qi's mother?
Many parents nowadays stay up all night, unable to sleep, crying and pleading with their children to get married and have children. Can't we show them a little sympathy, even if it's just with one eye open?
Although the two situations are different, the worries of parents are the same.
RegretfulHeart1 year ago1episode 35
Seeing Xie Yang's stable emotions and long-distance relationship reminds me of my ex-boyfriend. His name happened to be similar to Zhang Pei, just add one more letter: Zhang Peir.
We both attended the same university in the same city but different campuses.
We started dating in our third year, which could be considered a semi-long-distance relationship. He had incredibly stable emotions and would come to the library to study with me and go shopping almost every week. I would also spontaneously appear at his campus to study together when I had no classes.
We would hold hands and take walks on the campus. The fact that we only saw each other once a week bothered me, and I even considered breaking up. But he was like Xie Yang, always there to comfort and support me. Before leaving, he would buy me lots of delicious treats, and he was the one who took me to places like the amusement park and carried my backpack and stuffed animals.
He was truly wonderful. We hardly ever argued, and even when I made him angry, he would quickly calm down and comfort me. However, we broke up due to the long-distance caused by our postgraduate entrance exams. The situation was similar to what happened in the drama.
He wanted to stay in our home province for family reasons, while I was determined to go to Shanghai. Shanghai was my dream since high school, and I considered maintaining the relationship, but Shandong and Shanghai were too far apart.
I'm a bit ambitious, and he, like Xie Yang, prefers stability and the present. It was just too similar.
I couldn't bear the thought of being in a long-distance marriage in the future. He didn't want to come to Shanghai because he felt the pressure was too great, and I didn't want to stay in Shandong because I always had my goals.
So, we had to painfully let go... Perhaps this is reality. In reality, the ending of a TV drama is often idealized. How could someone abandon everything and move to another province or city for another person? It's not rational.
We both loved each other very much, but we were also rational and aware of the reality. All I can say is that we were destined but not meant to be. He will graduate from postgraduate school next year, and I'm preparing to pursue a Ph.D.
I did consider trying to reconcile, but he... he has a girlfriend now. I will definitely not interfere with their relationship. I know how wonderful he is, and I was his first girlfriend. He's truly an amazing person, so I understand that if everything goes smoothly with his hometown sweetheart, they will most likely get married directly.
Unless something like studying abroad or moving to another city happens.
Honestly, it's very painful. When you want to salvage a relationship and realize the other person is already with someone else, and because that person is so good, it's almost certain they will end up getting married.
All I can offer is my blessings. But I really miss him so much (please don't scold me, it's been a long time since I cut off contact with him, and I haven't interfered with their relationship. I'm just feeling upset in my heart, thinking that I may never meet someone as emotionally stable and good as him again...
I also have some regrets. Why didn't I insist on a long-distance relationship back then? Maybe I was just too weak, scared of the pain and tears every time we parted... I hope everyone won't be like me and bravely embrace love, even if it's long-distance, because once you let go, the next time you hear about him, he might already have someone else.
Good guys don't stay on the market for long, so I'm well aware that if I hear about him again, it will probably be for his wedding...)

Dan Dan discovered that her boyfriend was cheating on her, and the person he cheated with was Meng Ting, a young colleague at the company. This was undoubtedly a huge blow to Dan Dan.
She had once thought of entrusting her project module to Meng Ting at work, but now she found out that her boyfriend had been lured away by Meng Ting.
It was ironic.
Firstly, this behavior indicates her boyfriend's disloyalty and lack of respect. He betrayed Dan Dan's trust and chose to be with Meng Ting, which is unforgivable.
Moreover, he engaged in a relationship with Meng Ting using their work as an opportunity, showing a lack of respect for professional ethics and standards within the company.
This behavior not only violates company regulations but also has a negative impact on the company's image and reputation.
Secondly, this behavior will have a profound impact on Dan Dan's psychological and emotional well-being.
She will feel betrayed, disappointed, and may even doubt her own worth and attractiveness. The emotional damage can be more profound and long-lasting than any material loss. Furthermore, this behavior will damage the relationship between Dan Dan and her boyfriend, potentially leading to a breakup.
Lastly, this situation serves as a reminder that relationships in the workplace need to be handled with caution. While it is normal for colleagues to help and share experiences with each other, it is important to avoid developing overly intimate relationships, especially when one party is already in a committed partnership.
It is also crucial to maintain professional ethics and standards, avoiding using work as a means to pursue personal interests or violating company policies.
Dan Dan's discovery of her boyfriend's infidelity is a display of disloyalty and disrespect.
It will deeply impact her psychologically and emotionally, while also reminding us to handle workplace relationships with caution and maintain professional ethics and standards.
SummerForever1 year ago1episode 32
There are so many handsome guys in the rescue team, and they were forcibly introduced to Wu Yun by the community director. This phenomenon is common in many places because people generally consider marriage to be an important matter, and being single may be seen as an incomplete or abnormal state.
However, being forcibly introduced to someone can make Wu Yun feel extremely awkward and troubled. She may not want to be introduced or already has her own romantic plans.
In such a situation, if she is forced to accept the introduction, it may make her feel that her personal freedom is being interfered with, and even lead to resentment and dissatisfaction.
If you are in a similar situation, you can try to communicate with your elders and tell them about your thoughts and plans.
If they have already arranged an introduction for you, you can politely decline and express your gratitude and understanding.
At the same time, you can also explain your reasons and considerations to them, so that they can understand your thoughts and attitude.
Of course, you can also choose to accept the introduction, but that should be your own decision rather than being forced.
If you feel that this person may become a potential romantic interest, you can try to get to know them and see if there is a possibility for a relationship to develop.
But if you are not interested or already have your own plans, then you should honestly tell them to avoid wasting each other's time and emotions.
Being forcibly introduced to someone can make you, as a single person, feel extremely awkward and troubled. But you should stick to your own thoughts and attitude and not let external pressures dictate your decisions.
At the same time, it is important to respect the thoughts and wishes of others and not interfere with their choices regarding love and marriage.

Zhang Pei's parents actually opened Zhang Pei's package without permission. As parents, do you have the right to open your child's package? Yes, you have the right, but is it necessary to go to such an extent?
When I saw the part where Zhang Pei recalled it, I realized that these two people were habitual offenders, using the excuse of caring for their child and fearing that their daughter wouldn't focus on her work to secretly flip through her diary.
This kind of invasion of privacy is truly uncomfortable. Interfering with someone's privacy is an unethical act and can potentially violate their right to privacy.
Everyone has the right to protect their privacy, including personal information, family matters, financial status, and so on, without interference from others.
Respecting others' privacy is the foundation of healthy interpersonal relationships and social morality. We should adhere to ethical standards and laws and respect others' right to privacy, avoiding infringing upon their privacy.
Parents should not casually open their child's packages. Such behavior violates the child's right to privacy. If parents are concerned about their child's safety or suspect that the child has purchased inappropriate items, they should communicate with their child and try to understand their thoughts and needs.
In any situation, parents should respect their child's right to privacy and autonomy and avoid any actions that could harm mutual trust and respect.

Wu Yun is straightforward and carefree. When she saw the puppy locked in the car, she didn't hesitate to rush over, preparing to break the car window with a fire extinguisher.
Although this action may seem impulsive, it also shows her enthusiasm and courage.
In contrast, Xiao Ge is more calm and composed. After assessing the situation, he doesn't act blindly but comes up with a more effective solution.
He asks someone to fetch a roll of tape, sticks it on the window, and then gives it a powerful push.
Surprisingly, the window comes down easily. This approach not only saves the puppy but also avoids unnecessary damage. If these two people were together, they would complement each other well.
Wu Yun's directness and courage can bring more motivation and passion to Xiao Ge, while Xiao Ge's calmness and wisdom can provide more support and guidance to Wu Yun.
This complementary nature of their personalities makes them more united and resilient in the face of difficulties, and it also makes their daily lives more interesting and fulfilling.
The subsequent plot can revolve around these two individuals.
They can experience more challenges and hardships together, as well as share the joys and ups and downs of life. Their bond will deepen over time, supporting and encouraging each other as they grow and progress together.
This love story not only contains sweetness and romance but also resilience and courage, leaving a profound and touching impact.
Sparkle1 year ago1episode 34
I was deeply moved by this drama; the performances were genuine and natural. Our interactions with our parents can sometimes feel suffocating, making us want to escape, but they are also the eternal concern in our lives.
When love comes knocking, we may feel lost and unsure. We may hesitate and be uncertain about how long the person in front of us can accompany us. However, it's perfectly fine to enjoy the present happiness and leave the future to time.
Life is short, spanning only a few decades. If we have dreams, it's better to pursue them early. If we want to love someone, it's better to do it now.

XiXi always calls herself worthless. Every time she blames herself like that, it makes me feel sad. I'm sad because she has dreams, talents, best friends, Xiao Yin, and she works so hard. She is Teacher Ding's most beautiful and lovely daughter.
It's heartbreaking to hear such an excellent girl call herself worthless.
I'm also sad because I relate to it myself. Am I not also worthless? I'm neither beautiful nor lovely, and I can't do this or that well.
I don't have any strengths. I really want to say one thing: I'm sorry for being born as a human.
TearfulJourney1 year ago1episode 35
The final episode made me cry, reminding me of my mother who has been gone for thirteen years. Mom, in the end, we never had a heartfelt conversation, mom!
Did you see me as your daughter, a strong person who doesn't need a mother's love or care? To this day, I still don't understand why you forced my marriage.
Why? Now, in my fifties, I'm still wandering in a distant place, struggling for survival. Is this what you wanted? On this clear morning, I'm shedding tears, shedding tears for myself!
