Their relationship appears as if Duan Yelin was the one forcing Xu Hang into their somehow strange and complicated relationship, but in reality, that's not really the case. Xu Hang is a very smart person I have to say, he thoroughly planned everything in order to achieve what he wants. He always appears to despise ml, but I could see it, I could see that he has long been in love with Ml. He has so many chance to kill ML and get away with no problem with his brain but he didn't (though he did plan to kill him at first). What broke me the most was when he remained in Hezhou the whole time waiting for ML to comeback when everyone already left T_T why would he do that if he doesn't like him? I can see his last move was to k*ll the Japanese (along with himself since he thought ML was dead).

There is also the side couple T__T I'm crying my eyes out several times for Duan Zhanzhou and Cong Lin. My boy Cong Lin lived such a short and miserable life. He lives his whole life thinking DZZ hates him, only to know that DZZ was in fact in love with him before he passed. DZZ also only came to realize his feelings and know the truth after CL was already gone. He then saved ML and followed CL.
