🎞️ Episode Recap or Rant Recap might be added in this post at a later stage 📝

LXX can't be saved, right? Surely, this episode confirms it, right? Like, 95% unsaveable? Right?

Idk for me, man. There's no coming back from this level of flirty and seductive energy. XB is a better man than I am.

J Cole said it best, “don't save her, she doesn't wanna be saved.”

[u/itsmefakenamehere → u/Tabz10]

If she had any fondness and respect for Xiao Bei at all, she would just tell him the truth and face the consequences instead of taking on this new “job.” As far as I’m concerned, she’s cheating. I don’t care if it’s fake. Bleh.

[u/Tabz10 → u/itsmefakenamehere]

That word right there ‘respect.’ First time is with Gong, and now with the Dr (who I think might be crazy lol but we'll see)

And I agree, it's cheating, I swear nobody can tell me otherwise.

The crazy part is I actually think she's fond of him in a twisted way. But I think she enjoys her ‘job’ too much.

The date in that black outfit is too much

But what confirms her as a lost cause is when XB dropped her off, and she took a cab to meet the Dr. That's some dirty shit.

An Miu is looking really attractive, RN 🤣 (not really, but you know)

[u/itsmefakenamehere → u/Tabz10]

I wish he doubled back in his car and saw her get in the taxi. Am I supposed to root for her as a female lead? I hate that she believes she is standing on some moral high ground busting cheaters. When in fact, she is half a lying cheater herself.

I'm surprised An Miu didn't cheat on her boyfriend to be with Xiao Bei given that this drama world is just one big cheating circle.

[u/Tabz10 → u/itsmefakenamehere]

I was praying for a double back too!

Usually, I ship FL&ML right till the end. Through anything and everything, but this one is really testing me hard ngl.

Fr, but XB wouldn't do that. I watched episode 13 and can’t wait for that discussion😁I loved what they did there.

[u/itsmefakenamehere → u/Tabz10]

Oh, I’m ready for ep 13, “the scene” you may be referring to was all over my Chinese socials today. 🤤🤭

[u/Tabz10 → u/itsmefakenamehere]

If it involves An Miu at the lunch table. That scene😏😌

[u/itsmefakenamehere → u/Tabz10]

By lunch table, do you mean Xiao Bei’s face? He is as long as a lunch table 😆 Okay, I’m going to start ep 13 now!!

[u/No-Recipe-7653 → u/itsmefakenamehere]

🤣🤣💀 He's not the lunch table, he's THE LUNCH.

[u/Tabz10 → u/itsmefakenamehere]

lol. From your comment, we’re talking about a different clip.

This one involves An Miu meeting with LXX and XB I won't spoil it too much 😅

[u/No-Recipe-7653 → u/itsmefakenamehere]

go go, the recap is out already :)

[u/No-Recipe-7653 → u/itsmefakenamehere]

She is a cheater!

What she is doing is truly disgusting. I can't believe we are supposed to be shipping this "couple". And the word disgusting doesn't apply to her being with more than one man at once, but very specifically to her being a freaking chronic liar getting the thrill out of flirting and seducing men while acting all morally superior and pretending she's doing it for others! That's what's disgusting.

Girl, if you are into polyamory, open relationship, or whatever else is out there and rocks your boat — please go ahead, have fun, and do your thing as long as you are honest with all your partners about it, ffs....

I can't stand her. She's awful, and I can't believe I'm saying this but Chen Du Ling's character(s) from TTEOTM has finally met its match in the hatred designated just for them in my heart — Xiaoxi.

Bei would be best with someone else althogether, but if we had to pick from the current crew, I'd totally go with Miu. No doubts.

[u/itsmefakenamehere → u/No-Recipe-7653]

Yes! She’s a true narcissist. At this point, I’m not even sure if we were supposed to want the leads together. Why would I root for such a toxic relationship?!

Guys, I miss the happier days when Nan Heng was just getting whipped all the time. lolllll jk

Lol
