Zhao Yulou thinks everything Cen Qiubai does is suspicious.
As the legitimate daughter of the prime minister, she looks plain and elegant when they meet during the day. But at night, she puts on heavy makeup and dresses herself up like a giant flower basket.
Zhao Yulou: "She's up to something!"
She's so observant that she can spot details in a case that no one else notices.
Zhao Yulou: "She's up to something!"
She's the legitimate daughter of the prime minister, yet she says animals deserve the same dignity as people. She wants to open some place called the "Peaceful Haven" to give animals who have died a dignified farewell.
Zhao Yulou: "She's up to something!"
In short!
Everything this woman does is part of some scheme!
Until one day, Zhao Yulou finally understands. "Everything she does is so strange. If she's not plotting something, then could it be that she's secretly in love with me?"
Cen Qiubai's response: "Hah. What a delusional man."
Later, General Zhao recognizes just how badly he was mistaken, but he still goes to the prime minister's residence every day.
Cen Qiubai gives him a knowing smile. "General Zhao, here to investigate another case?"
Zhao Yulou replies apologetically, "No. I'm here to apologize. I misunderstood Miss Cen before."
Cen Qiubai asks curiously, "Oh? What was the misunderstanding?"
Zhao Yulou lowers his eyes and puts on his most earnest expression. "I was wrong to say you liked me. The truth is, I like you."
Theme: Small animals deserve to be cherished just as much as people do
