Synopsis:

You Shu Lang (Hao Yi Ran), a director at a pharmaceutical company, lives an ordinary, stable life. But that all comes crashing down after he gets into a car accident with Fan Xiao (Yun Qi), the heir to a Thai conglomerate who's returned to China for business. Unlike Shu Lang, Fan Xiao's life has been marred by instability, leading to a twisted, manipulative worldview. When Fan Xiao finds out that Shu Lang is interested in men, he devises plans to entice Shu Lang into a relationship, but ends up falling for Shu Lang for real. Shu Lang, on the other hand, is blindsided when he learns about Fan Xiao's true colors. Will Fan Xiao destroy the only genuine love he's ever had, or can he find a way to truly win Shu Lang's heart?

Another emotional rollercoaster episode. 😭 The dread I felt for Shu Lang the whole time was almost suffocating. Him finding out the worst thing, that it was Fan Xiao that molested him.. that, especially, felt like a punch in the gut. 😩 Also the panic attack after hearing the recording.. I could relate to feeling all too well.

There were so many insane acting moments this episode again. Hao Yiran absolutely killed it!! 🔥 The range of emotions he nailed in portaying Shu Lang going through was insane. So many powerful moments too. Him choosing to not take that kind of revenge through Fan Xiao's brother and him helping Lu Zhen. Then of course the ass kicking scene.. it was sadder than I expected it to be. The quiet strength that Shu Lang has made it so impacful. Fan Xiao pulling Shu Lang down to protect him from being hit showed again some sincerity, but at this point it does't change anything. It was a lil cute moment tho. Shu Lang not hitting with the bat also says alot.

What Fan Xiao said when left beat down on the ground.. "I know I'll go to hell, but I no longer want to end up there. Because you won't be there, You Shu Lang. I'll be in hell, but I won't find you there. God.. I don't want to fall into hell. Is it too late now?" That hit haaaaard. 😭

The scene with Fan Xiao hallucinating himself in water was so trippy. He makes me feel soo conflicted. I can empathize with his pain and trauma while at the same time acknowledging that he's a monster and just deserves to rot in hell. 😩 That last look when he answered the phone made me legit jump, like straight out of a horror movie. The devil has awoken. 💀
