“Though the fruit of the citron tree looks like a pomelo, it tastes bitter and pungent.”
Character notes:
The heroine is not universally adored, is not part of the main cast, and has no ability to foresee the future.
She only wants someone who can stay by An Xin’s side, support him, and fight for justice. His path is far too lonely.
Unrequited love is painful. There is no courage to part the clouds, and no chance for the light to break through.
Su Yunxiang was the kind of girl who cried even when she wanted to ask a teacher a question. In the end, she spent every last bit of her courage on An Xin.
Before the blind date:
Su Yunxiang kept reciting the lines she had prepared in her head, reminding herself not to worry and that everything would be fine.
An Xin himself: He was indeed at ease.
During the blind date:
Su Yunxiang: “Hello, I... I-I’m An Xin. Oh, no, that’s not right!”
An Xin: “What a coincidence. My name’s An Xin too.”
Theme: Freedom comes before love, and justice will always come.
