The Compelling Growth of Yang Ying and Ren Ru Yi: A Reflection of Personal Development

The storyline involving Ren Ru Yi and Yang Ying is particularly captivating. Yang Ying, determined to marry her beloved man, journeys thousands of miles from Wu Country to An Guo to reunite with her brother. Throughout her journey, she transforms from a naive and innocent girl into a formidable ruler. Isn't her growth reminiscent of the challenges we face in real life?

Initially, Yang Ying is portrayed as a naive and sweet girl. She falls in love with Zheng Qing Yun and desires to marry him. However, due to her social status, she cannot marry the person she loves on a whim. For Zheng Qing Yun to marry Yang Ying, he must either come from a prestigious family or achieve remarkable feats. Despite doing nothing to accomplish either, he manipulates Yang Ying into pleasing Xiao Yan.

When Yang Ying learns that Xiao Yan promises to grant her three thousand households in return for bringing back Yang Xing Yuan, she volunteers to complete the task. Her motivation is to regain control over her own marriage. Sold to the Zhu Yi Wei and trained as an assassin since childhood, she has endured immense suffering and setbacks. Her world revolves around missions, killing, and survival, with no room for other aspirations.

The only person who treats her kindly is Zhao Jie. He acts as an elder brother and mother figure, protecting her and instilling hope. On the other hand, Ren Ru Yi is wrongfully accused and forced into faking her death, spending years nursing her injuries. Zhao Jie wishes for Ren Ru Yi to live an ordinary life, free from the burdens of being an assassin.

However, Ren Ru Yi is unwilling to accept this fate. She strikes a deal with Ning Yuan Zhou to uncover the true culprit responsible for Zhao Jie's predicament. In exchange, she helps protect her own identity. This becomes the condition under which she agrees to mentor Yang Ying. Just like Yang Ying, Ren Ru Yi understands that while Ning Yuan Zhou and herself can offer assistance, there are many challenges one must face and solve independently.

No one can accompany you throughout your life. In the end, Yang Ying becomes the person she aspired to be, not disappointing Ren Ru Yi's guidance. Regardless of her location, she manages to thrive. We must understand that no one can be carefree indefinitely because there will always be someone who shields you from harm. When you become a burden to others, you realize how immature and naive your past actions were.

Yang Ying's forced growth mirrors our own journey to become individuals capable of solving any problem, being independent, mature, and self-assured. From Yang Ying to Ren Ru Yi, we all undergo step-by-step personal growth.

May each and every one of us become like Ren Ru Yi, carving out our own path in the world.
