1. Ex-husband older brother A is Lu Hai

This one is obvious. Since the book directly stated so.

2. Officer D's real name is Zhuang Yu

He is the one who wants to save the childhood sweetheart (Luo Yu) from asylum but failed [read epilogue 6, epilogue 8]

3. Film Emperor C is Chu Linshan.

I know I know, some of you might disagree with me because if he's the film emperor, how come Ji Qu doesn't recognize him?

But here's the thing; that chapter is from Ji Qu's perspective. We all know he lost 3 years worth of memory, so it makes sense if he doesn't recognize him. Plus, Ji Qu's friend (Xiao Hua) didn't even see the man who pick up Shen Yizhou [see epilogue 3], so the fact whether other people recognize 'the man' or not remains unknown.

The other clue is, the car that he drove is luxurious. We know the film emperor will inherit his family business. And it might be because of that, the film emperor gradually stop acting, therefore it lowers the chance of Ji Qu recognizing the man from movies.

The last clue that makes me sure of the film emperor's identity is HIS HABIT OF SCRATCHING HIS HAIR AND STUTTERING. Yes, it might seem ridiculous, but other than film emperor, there is no other character that scratch his head and stutter so cutely. I think its a hint from the author.

On chapter 25:

'He was leaning against the wall by the door, looking a bit nervous, turning his head and scratching his hair. "Will... Will you invite me in?"'

On epilogue 4:

'Chu Linshan had sent him home.

"Can I stay... stay for the meal?" The man leaning against the door shyly scratched his head as he asked.'

SEE?? SEE HIS CUTENESS?? That's why I'm sure Chu Linshan is the film emperor. He's the only ball of fluff in this psychopatic story.

And last but not least

4. Editor Friend B is Ji Qu

Its actually pretty obvious. But, because the author thrown in some pretty confusing details, it can misdirect people.

First. The editor friend B himself is pretty shady. I'm pretty sure he knows about what's going on/maybe even helps the MC. It can be seen from their analogy of 2 robin birds.

Also, if you read chapter 6, it reveals that MC hasn't contact the editor B for so long, and editor B is very happy to receive his call and would stick his hand into help if he could.

On chapter 9, editor B looks very angry and in disbelief when the MC said he will continue being with his husband even if he's cheating. (Because he loves MC?)

On chapter 18, the editor says MC's husband was all over the place trying to delete the negative comment regarding the childhood sweetheart. Maybe it doesn't seem weird, but the MC never really disclose who his husband cheating with, and how does a mere editor knows about what the MC's husband (a president of an entertainment company) is doing? Unless he secretly helps the MC and monitor the MC's husband. And amongst all the characters, the MC only shared his personal thoughts with editor B even confessed that he has a minor ilness.

On chapter 23, the MC alibi is editor B, and the editor seems to be very happy with the MC visit. This chapter also reveals editor B willingness to wait for another 10 years for the MC.

On chapter 24, both of them watch a film with an ending of the rise of a mentally disordered person.

Editor B suddenly asked about The two robins. At this point, editor B clearly knows something.

Finally, on epilogue 8, Ji Qu reveals that he loves this side of MC that he never reveals to anyone other than him. Who else know MC better than anyone other than Ji Qu? He's even willing to waste 3 years of his life for the MC. He's willing to be abused, he's clearly the dog in the MC's book.

But this is just my assumption.

MC meticulously formed his alibi and personality in his first half and decides to mu*der his husband by drugs.

The naive personality type can only get a person so far, especially when people around you have been telling you/ hinting about the infidelity.

Then uses the excuse of leaving crucial evidence to have time to get rid of other shreds of evidence such as surveillance and focus on the drug. (but taking attention off the drug is smart, but, the autopsy results should have had that as the first clue? And MC has already planted other evidence on the defendant?

I mean like, clean up as you go should be the best way.

MC also left evidences on his husbands computer of text messages to elope and s*x tapes.... But when someone wants to elope, they'd never leave messages on a hidden folder? I keep feeling like if a person was smart, they'd never leave any traces of infidelity near them? (BUt, maybe they're dumb and that's that.) Also, if they were to elope, they'd leave the country at least and not go to a honeymoon villa? MC also has a locator on ML's body, (granted MC's rich, but casual GPS locators aren't small, and they'd use the company's software which has customer information and would likely be found in an autopsy or a quick search, then there's a trace to find the company who manufactured the chip, and then trace its usage. To get a really good tracking chip that doesn't use the manufacturer's own server is really expensive and I think only a few firms would do that. Just smashing the locator, doesn't mean the chip vaporizes.

Then there's the public viewing of the infidelity tape, that'd be under the suspicion list by the police too. And getting away from that is really hard, or easy as the vast number of people who come into contact with the final version. (Although, I mean, in every viewing, they'd play the tape at least once (partially, at least) prior to the event so-)

In all mu*der cases, the prime suspect would be family, especially if the wife was cheated on, so by publicizing the tape, being involved in the movie (written by the MC) with such an undertone, just set up the scene to be too much like a revenge plot in the eyes of others with its motivation clear to all. Maybe if the MC was smart, (I mean, he already is), he should have swayed his revenge in a different direction, off infidelity, to avoid suspicion. Maybe he could dig deeper, and planted further evidence on other forms of motivation that the 3rd party could have to mu*der the husband? oh well, everything went fine, so it is good.

Also, the locked in the room plot... like unless those doors had a steel frame, then destroying the door to get out would be EASY (as you can smash chairs/bedside tables on it to get out of wooden doors). But MC even threw a KNIFE through an OPEN window!!! Does that room not have curtains or something???? He even has a bloody knife!!! Which makes making a rope out of them sooooo much easier!!!!!!!! The first thing to do in that kind of situation is actually to NOT touch the knife, use other ways to get out, like smashing windows, with chairs, nightstand and form a rope out of curtains, bedsheets, etc. Take a shower (there MUST be a bathroom if they're rich) (to get rid of infidelity evidence, and chalk it up to panic if the police ask) grab your clothes and PHONE and PICTURE of MC (if possible like his car etc.) / crime scene, grab the husband's keys and drive to the nearest police station/ call your lawyer to report to handle the case low key.

Also, if they were to even consider the house to have *** at, then that must mean that at least there'll be cleaners coming every so often unless they want to have *** in a musky, poor airflow and stuffy house?? Like, if they want to live in a breathable home, then cleaners should come over every week? So the plot of them being found a month later is really absurd. (granted the husband could have temporarily dismissed them though.) This just feels s*upid...

I don't know but, I feel like maybe the MC could've been more meticulous?

Like, MC picked a flashy car to follow after the cheating couple, like no. MC used a key that only he or his husband had, uh. well.

MC also bribed so many people, which I mean, ok, but don't bribe the person you made a random backstory for to be interviewed by police? (I feel like the risk there is really high)

MC had bedroom hidden cameras in their shared home, where he was a neet, not the best location, and also the easiest for the prime suspect to place. (MC's husband found out, questioned MC, but took no further action after his doubts disappeared for a while... Is that really the behavior the husband would take if he had allegedly wanted to mu*der MC? Also, the husband stopped trying to mu*der MC after the first chapter,... unless it's all in MC's head that the husband wants to mu*der him so that MC could justify to himself why he is "allowed" to kill husband then... maybe?

As far as I understand, MC and Editor B (Ji Qu in the epilogue) has known each other for a long time, but somehow they separated for years (MC is the one who left Editor B).

Editor B and MC both have mental problems. I suspect MC is a sociopath or psychopath, meanwhile Editor B/Ji Qu is obsessed with MC to the point he's acting like MC loyal dog.

When MC contacted Editor B, Editor B start to get involved with MC life and found out MC Husband affair with the childhood friend (as shown in a chapter where Editor B being angry at MC "naively" didn't know about the affair/don't want to left the Husband)

Editor B also acts as the alibi for MC, and help MC covering up his acts.

As for why Ji Qu felt he lost "someone"/MC in the epilogue chapter, it's because he saw MC with the movie emperor.

In three years of Ji Qu/Editor B "amnesia"/hypnosis state, I guess MC still maintains a relationship with movie emperor to use his power (probably to caught Policeman D just in case he succeeded in helping the childhood friend)

For the three years "bait" it seems MC know that the childhood friend is not actually crazy, so the childhood friend will definitely try to get out from the mental asylum because he can't stand it, but he's biding his time because he's afraid of MC. In the end he got impatient because the childhood friend saw Ji Qu/Editor B.

I bet the Policeman D figured out that MC and Editor B actually conspired together. If Editor B came back then it'll be more difficult to get childhood friend out. (Childhood friend probably know about Editor B from Policeman D).

So the timeline is:

Car Accident --> MC woke up and saw Editor B who explains what happened etc. ---≫ Editor B want to pursue MC, MC asked Editor B to be hypnotized to forget things, if Editor B can overcome the hypnosis state then MC will give him chance

I have high suspicion that in the car accident Editor B is also in that car.

Pffttt romance what romance? It's full on face slapping. Only after face slap can you be fed with dog food (a VERY tiny amount but dog food nonetheless). ML can only be confirmed in the epilogues.

Clearly the mu*der is committed inside the room, the locks are OUTSIDE. If it's indeed the childhood sweetheart's plan to exonerate himself, then there must be an accomplice right? That already nulled the idea that's there's ONLY 2 PEOPLE at the villa. It doesn't add up. How about finger print test on the lock? Yes, he has a knife, but the autopsy already showed the victim didn't died of cannibalism. He died from taking drug C. Why nobody further investigated who sent the drug C? MC's concocted reason to pin the blame on him is too flawed, it claimed that childhood sweetheart motivation for mu*der is because he's being forcefully kept but he still wants the assets of the victim? If he's being forced then shouldn't the first thing he wants is to not have anything to do with this scum man, lest covet his assets? Why pit himself if he just wants to be freely together with his "real lover?" Also if he's being forcefully kept what does that say on the video that aired on the 4th promotion of the movie where a lot of audience saw how willing and sl*t is the childhood sweetheart? It's a sham? I don't know about you but with this "mistress" and "contract of transferring assets to the mistress" is enough to make the lawful partner also a person of interest.

the story of a psycho? that kills the scum husband and schemes (succesfully and satisfyingly) against that scum and the other idiot...... all in company of... a film emperor aka ex of the idiot... the brother pf the scum... relative of the idiot... ah, and a wonderful (?) editor B who just loves the MC... honestly, if there were a novel of their story (MC and I suppose B/Ji Qu is ml) I would totally read it... like these sickos loving each other (?) tho I think it’s not healthy at all but meh

nobody even investigated the MC seriously after his husbands death. Eventhough it was suspected that zhe husband cheated on him with another man and the MC just published a novel (or at least made one of his friends make a movie about a similiar situation to his) and there have had every reason to be the true killer. Not to forget that the "mistress" wouldn't have stayed at the scene of the crime just to traumatize himself. Also, why didn't that guy not just destroy a window and jump out? And why did he force himself to eat the rotting corpse, if the human body can survive much longer without food and the risk of poisoning yourself with gone bad meat would be much higher than the risk of actually dying because of starvation?
