I Told You Yang Guo Likes Guo Fu

The story begins with the birth of Younger Sister Fu. If you want to go straight to the leads meeting, dear readers, start with Morning Encounter, 43.

Yang Guo was arrogant all his life and yielded to no one. Only in front of Guo Fu did he feel inferior, awkward, and at a loss:

- As a child on Peach Blossom Island, what mattered most to him was whether Guo Fu looked down on him.

- A single word from Guo Fu could send him into raptures or make his heart die in an instant.

- His severed arm, being misunderstood, and leaping from a cliff: nearly every great pain in his life was directly connected to Guo Fu.

A person only casts aside all his pride in front of someone he truly loves.

2. The one person who made him insanely jealous

Yang Guo never got jealous over Xiaolongnü. Even when Yin Zhiping and Gongsun Zhi appeared, he felt anger and a need to protect her, not jealousy.

But with Guo Fu:

- When he heard she was going to marry Wu Dunru or Wu Xiuwen, his heart felt cut to pieces and he was beside himself.

- When he saw her getting close to someone else, he grew dejected and bitter, and deliberately kept his distance.

- He cursed her to her face, but in his heart, he could not bear to see her suffer even the slightest grievance.

Jealousy is love's most honest instinct.

3. The pain of losing an arm: not hatred, but the ruin of loving too deeply

Guo Fu cutting off one of his arms is one of the most painful scenes in the entire story.

But Yang Guo's reaction was strange:

- He had countless chances to kill Guo Fu for revenge, but never once did he act on them.

- Gravely wounded and near death, he cared less about his arm than about what Guo Fu thought of him.

- When they met again years later, he still did not dare look her in the eye or speak with her at length.

True hatred brings acceptance. What he felt was a pain he could not face: the image of love being crushed to pieces.
