In court, Han Chunming burns Uncle Guan’s will in front of everyone, leaving the whole room in an uproar. Everyone calls him an ingrate. Su Meng sits in the gallery, disappointment in her eyes. Cheng Jianjun isn’t there, because he already knows how this ends.
Three years earlier, modern antiques dealer Lin Yuan had cursed the male lead of Under the Zhengyang Gate for being a fool. “If I transmigrated into the story, I’d have dumped Su Meng ages ago and let her and Cheng Jianjun torment each other!” A bolt of lightning struck, and he really did become Han Chunming in 1980.
Armed with the next thirty years’ script, Han Chunming appears to follow the original story’s path of heartbreak, while quietly planning every move. Uncle Guan’s fake death, Guan Xiaoguan’s lawsuit, and every one of Cheng Jianjun’s schemes are all within his expectations. Su Meng chooses Cheng Jianjun again and again, and he smiles and lets her go. Cheng Jianjun tries to sabotage him time after time, and he smiles and plays along.
Everyone thinks he has lost. Only Uncle Guan sees through him. “There’s something wrong with your eyes. You’re waiting for something.”
Three years later, the sound of a wheelchair rolls through the courtroom. The moment Uncle Guan “comes back to life,” Han Chunming lays out all the evidence. Cheng Jianjun is disgraced, and Su Meng is consumed with regret. But this time, Han Chunming takes Cai Xiaoli’s hand and walks away without looking back.
“Some people, once you miss them, are gone for a lifetime. And in this life, I never let a woman get in the way of my career.”
Is Guan Xiaoguan a son????
