On the winter night of 1986, when Yiping took her last breath, she still held an old yellowed photo on her fingertips - He Shuhuan's smile in the photo was as dazzling as the crystal lantern in the Lu family's living room.
Her soul remained, floating in the world like a dead leaf stuck by the wind for forty years. In the past forty years, as she watched the alleys turn into high-rise buildings and watched colorful figures pop up on the black-and-white TV, the knot in her heart became tighter and tighter: Why did she soften her heart and forgive Lu Zhenhua, who had driven her mother to desperation? Why did you become soft-hearted for a moment and help Wang Xueqin get out of the predicament? What's even more ridiculous is that she didn't see clearly until her death that He Shuhuan's "dilemma" rhetoric was basically a knife wrapped in sugar.
Until one day, she drifted into the living room of a house, and "Love in the Rain" was playing on the TV. "Yiping" on the screen sang "Little Enemies" in the Shanghai Ballroom, "He Shuhuan" said his vows affectionately, and even Lu Zhenhua's ending showed a bit of "the prodigal son turning back" warmth.
She stared at the happy ending, her soul trembling. It turns out that her life of tearing out her heart and soul was just a drama written by others; her heart-breaking pain actually became "romance" in the eyes of the audience. Forty years of obsession exploded at this moment. She wanted to rush forward and tear the false screen to pieces, and she wanted to scream at the room full of laughing people: "That's not me! That's not my life!" But her voice couldn't even be stirred up by a gust of wind.
She changed herself as described by others, but returned to the beginning of all stories. This time her story was rewritten by her.

I like Yiping to be self-reliant, strong and kind, and hope that she will not be obsessed with love, live her own life, and meet a male protagonist who loves her, pampers her and understands her, instead of He Shuhuan, a scumbag who wavers around half-heartedly and only blames Yiping when things happen, never looking for reasons to blame him. This makes up for the uneasy feeling in my heart.
It's okay, it's well written.
Beautiful and well written
It's very literary. The male protagonist's love is slow-flowing and silently protective. The second male lead's love is passionate, domineering, and coercive. I love them all!
It's very beautiful. The author's ideas and writing are very good.
I can't count how many versions I've watched, and I've almost never missed it, but this one is the most special remake.
The turning point later is the most touching
