    Wow, this is so satisfying to watch! The female lead treats the male lead like a dog. The most impactful line is, "Zhou Qing, you're really something, treating me like a dog." Seriously, the influence of one's family of origin is so severe; it's not something you can simply escape. Growing up, without realizing it, you become the very thing you hate most, unknowingly becoming a continuation of your parents. Moreover, redeeming someone is incredibly difficult, not only for the redeemer but also for the redeemed. So I believe in sincerity, but I also believe sincerity is fickle. And for the redeemed, after witnessing harm, believing in sincerity again seems like a betrayal of themselves, handing someone the knife that will pierce their deepest wounds, because you never know how they will treat you!
