Su Wanqing's life creed has only two words: making money. Only money can give her and her sister a sense of security and make up for their robbed childhood and the humiliation of being dependent on others.
Gu Yebai's trouble in life can only be described in two words: boredom. Tired of the glitz and hypocrisy, he concealed his identity as a rich man and tried to find a little "reality" in his ordinary life.
During an encounter in Haidilao, he was attracted by her "money rather than life" energy and thought he had captured the "reality" he wanted. So, he approached as an ordinary person, and with a condescending temptation, he started this game of "love and kill each other".
He laughed at her love of money and ridiculed her for being sharp, but he was unknowingly attracted by her kindness under toughness and her principles in difficult situations, and fell deeply into it.
When lies fall in love with truth, the game gets out of control. He was panicked and frightened, and his true identity became the boulder crushing love, making it difficult for him to move forward.
But when the truth was torn apart and she left decisively, he realized that underneath the glitz, there was so much truth.
The road to chasing his wife in the crematorium is long. What he must learn is not how to continue to pretend, but how to iron out all her scars with an unreserved sincerity and tell her: I love you. It is never your shell that I love, but your scarred but still brilliant soul.
