Rely on a mountain and it will collapse; rely on people and they'll leave; rely on heaven and you're a fool. Jiang Qiu knows this all too well. Things never go as planned: hardships, gossip, being bound by fate while refusing to accept it. The more time passes, the less she believes in anything too good to be true. She's not afraid of people treating her badly; she's afraid they'll treat her too well. That just makes her feel guilty. Who knows what kind of trouble Heaven will cook up next? Sigh...

In his efforts to protect Jiang Qiu, he kept accidentally making things worse, causing misunderstandings to pile up between Shu Zezhun and Jiang Qiu.

All right, all right, I admit I can't beat you, but... I can look down on you...
