Episode 6 recap: Chen Ling recounts Nan Ya's past with resentment every time
She believes that everything Nan Ya has experienced is self-inflicted On the surface, Nan Ya appears fragile, but in reality, she is willing to do anything to achieve her goals One night, Nan Ya took advantage of Xu Yi's inattention and held a dagger to his throat, indicating that since he wouldn't divorce her and she couldn't have their daughter, they might as well die together
However, not long after, Zhou Luo learned that Nan Ya had forgiven Xu Yi and they had reconciled. Shocked, Zhou Luo went to confront Nan Ya and received the unexpected answer that she couldn't leave Xu Yi. Nan Ya told Lin Fang Lu that Xu Yi is a selfish, hot-tempered, and suspicious person with a strong possessive nature, but deep down, he is very weak and has no boundaries.
Because Nan Ya's medical records inexplicably went missing, Lin Fang Lu suspected deliberate destruction and went to Chen Ling again to inquire about the situation. This caused Chen Ling to explode emotionally and angrily leave the hospital, sitting alone by the river in a daze. After calming down, Chen Ling had a conversation with Lin Fang Lu. Based on her understanding of Nan Ya, she firmly believed that Nan Ya had murdered Xu Yi.
In fact, the tragic origin of Nan Ya's life stems from her mother, who had knowledge and love for poetry. This woman should have had hopes of returning to the city, but after getting drunk one night, she was violated by Nan Ya's father and ended up pregnant, completely bound to Qingshui Town. However, Nan Ya's father became addicted to alcohol, and whenever his rationality was overpowered by alcohol, the family became his outlet for venting.
Facing her husband's violence, Nan Ya's mother endured immense psychological pressure and eventually took her own life with resentment. After losing her mother, Nan Ya did not receive any remorse or change from her father. He quickly remarried a divorced woman named Hu Xiu, who had a son named Hu Lifan. Hu Lifan became Nan Ya's stepbrother and the first man in her life.
Originally, Nan Ya had excellent grades and planned to apply for university to leave the town. However, Hu Xiu wanted Nan Ya to marry Hu Lifan and withheld money, preventing her from paying the registration fee, which forced her to drop out of school. For a period of time, Chen Ling and her parents gradually warmed Nan Ya's cold heart with their care, but later, Nan Ya's father froze to death due to alcohol consumption. Hu Xiu blamed Nan Ya, accused her of intentional harm, and even publicly slapped her, while Nan Ya remained silent throughout.
Since then, Nan Ya's personality returned to its previous indifference, and she no longer shared her concerns with Chen Ling. Hu Lifan was idle and squandered the family's savings, relying on Hu Xiu for his living expenses. As a result, Nan Ya had no money to continue her education, and her opportunity for further studies was taken away by the Hu family. Regrettably, she remained at the high school graduation stage and started working in a factory to save money.
Soon, Chen Ling met wealthy man Xu Yi and quickly established a romantic relationship with him. She introduced Xu Yi to Nan Ya, but she didn't expect that the two would develop a deep emotional connection behind her back and eventually get married. Feeling betrayed by her friend and abandoned by her lover, Chen Ling didn't blame Xu Yi, who was responsible for the chaos, but instead harbored resentment towards Nan Ya. She spread rumors of Nan Ya seducing men, taking advantage of the curiosity of onlookers and Xu Yi's suspicions, ultimately dragging Nan Ya into a abyss.
After meeting with Chen Ling, Lin Fang Lu personally visited Nan Ya and informed her about their daughter, Wan Wan. When Lin Fang Lu was accepted into a prestigious university, she also hoped that Nan Ya would leave Qingshui Town as soon as possible. However, after many years had passed, Nan Ya had followed in her mother's footsteps.
Nan Ya told Lin Fang Lu that Xu Yi is a selfish, hot-tempered, and suspicious person with a strong possessive nature, but deep down, he is very weak and has no boundaries. Lin Fang Lu questioned why Nan Ya would marry such a person, but Nan Ya's attitude suddenly changed. She stated that even if she was vain, it should not be a reason for domestic violence.
In the quiet night at the hospital, Zhou Luo and Nan Ya sat side by side and had an open conversation about their respective lives. Zhou Luo once again recited poetry to Nan Ya and even turned the poems into music. Nan Ya's eyes showed a touch of emotion, and they didn't need many words to understand each other. All their past conflicts and contradictions dissipated, and the scene was as beautiful as it was in the music store.
The next day, Zhou Luo was discharged from the hospital, and Nan Ya personally knitted a sweater for him, which surprised and delighted him. However, not long after, Xu Yi was released from detention and went to the clothing store with flowers and gifts. The neighbors spread rumors that they had reconciled. Upon hearing this, Zhou Luo became infuriated and threw the sweater into the trash bin.
Unable to hold back, Zhou Luo confronted Nan Ya, only to receive the unexpected answer that she couldn't leave Xu Yi. In reality, Xu Yi portrayed himself as polite and tolerant on the outside, but he deliberately spread rumors and tried to portray Nan Ya as a promiscuous woman to satisfy his disgusting possessiveness.
Nan Ya was well aware of all this, so she took advantage of Xu Yi's inattention and held a dagger to his throat, displaying a resolute attitude of going down together. Xu Yi was frightened and agreed to move out of the house.
