Jiang Baili, Gobi and Chen Mohan: Very, very, frustrating. I rooted for Jiang Baili's happiness by the end of it, even if she was deceived many times. I felt she was idiotic for persisting in loving Gobi, but her hesitance to let go made me feel that I didn't understand her enough. I felt it was alright. She picked herself up by the end of it all-let go of everything. I felt that the most peaceful way to resolve all was to let go. All three of them.

I hurt for Baili the most. Her love was so sincere. Gobi does 'like' her, but in a way that is responsible and immature, unlike his love for Chen Mohan which is purely love and adoration. If I can compare anyone with Baili, it would be Chen Jing. Gobi and Luo Yang are both people who 'loved' for responsibility. Baili and Chen Jing were just the third parties.

Luoyang, Chen Jing and Ding Shuiji: Where to start on this one... I was very heart broken about the brother. I must not have picked up on the small clues because I didn't realize what was wrong until the end of it. "In my life, I only ever loved four women: Mother, You, Chen Jing and my future daughter." Lies, and they're all lies.

If Ding Shuiji was his lover in the dark, then Chen Jing is his love in the light. The Luo Yang that loved Ding Shuiji was the one we don't see as often, and the one even Luo Zhi could not recognize. He's present in some parts of the book including the Luo Yang who waited for Chen Jing, only to hear from her the news of her pregnancy. He knew how deep her feelings were for Ding Shuiji, but chose to upheld his morals by staying with Chen Jing. Was it the right choice to suppress this desire? From a moral standpoint, yes because he was already committed to a relationship. At the same time, is it right of us to judge him for acting on his deepest, and honest feelings? In the process of acting on his unconscious desires, he hurts Chen Jing. He becomes the Luo Yang that people are unable to recognize.

In my opinion, Ding Shuiji is undeserving of Luo Yang. I both hold pity and no remorse towards her. Pity in that I can understand some of her frustrations, and even her desire to corner Luo Yang and make him 'admit' his feelings. At the same time, her hurting Luo Zhi and Chen Jing was unnecessary.

Luo Yang isn't clean either. I don't think he really deserves Chen Jing's love. What 'saves' their relationship from the tipping point of divorce is Chen Jing's pregnancy. I also partly blame Chen Jing's passiveness in this whole situation. She even got married to him despite knowing his changing heart, and considered divorce by the end of it. Although, I can't blame her. For the first part of their relationship, it seemed like Luo Yang was playing with her feelings.

Personally, I don't think it'll work out for them by the end. Not Ding Shuiji and Luo Yang nor Chen Jing and Luo Yang. A child won't mediate and fix the wounds of the past. It really is unfortunate.

Despite all angst, I really love this part of the book. This is a dilemma some people are faced with in the real world. Luo Yang's two sides that are also partly reflected by his two (possible) lovers makes him a much more deeper character. Did he make the right choice? I'm not sure either.

Zhu Yan, Sheng Huainan, Ye Zhanyen: This was the biggest plot twist ever. Everything started to come together, piece by piece. As Luo Zhi noticed, I really did feel Ye Zhanyen was, to some degree, deserving of Sheng Huainan. It's not a crime for the ML to fall in love with someone else before meeting the FL. But their love was so fragile--so clumsy. Sheng Huainan loved Ye Zhanyen like a book: he liked the book cover, but has never bothered to read the actual book. Meanwhile, Ye Zhanyen liked Sheng Huainan like a branded-bag. Though it ended up like that, it does not discredit the fact that their love for each other was pure and sincere.

In fact, I actually liked the fact that Sheng Huainan called out Luo Zhi: "... what about you? What do you like about me? You just like your memories."

I'm happy Sheng Huainan can find peace and security with Luo Zhi. I can only hope the same for Ya Zhanyen. No hard feelings.

Chen Jing's love for Luo Yang.

It's cheap of him to continue thinking about Ding Shuiji when he already married Chen Jing. Aside from the fact that Ding Shuiji in general is a hateful person, I also feel like he dishonor Chen Jing's love by doing so. He's disgusting, I hate it. Hate is a strong word, and I can bear to use it on a person like Luo Yang because he deserves it. I can understand Chen Jing's stubbornness to stay, but that's because Luo Yang himself is unable to state the elephant in the room. I'm sure that if he said clearly that he likes another woman more than her, she'd leave despite how hurt it feels. That's why I'm disappointed they still end up together and Luo Yang kept silent of his feelings. Maybe that's what Ding Shuiji felt.

he and Chen Mohan broke up. Instead of trying to be close with Jiang Baili again like a loser.

Sheng Huainan finally decided to stay with Luo Zhi instead of going abroad because she's more important than trying to restart his study in the middle of nowhere,

(But it's ok because the ML ends up loving her back and she is able to act as herself)

but in the end I am simply so happy for our FL because she deserves all the happiness after such a long standing unrequited love.
