Love at First Sight

[Love Grows Over Time] [Mutual Devotion] [Helping Each Other Become Better]

[True Poker Face, "Bad Woman," Lone Eagle vs. Fake Ice Queen, Tough-Guy Film Emperor, Loyal Puppy]

*

Heng Qing went looking for her family and found the older brother she'd been separated from for thirty years. But who should be at his side but a younger sister who wasn't related to him by blood?

What kind of cheesy, old-fashioned plot is this? The green tea, white-lotus act of calling a man "big brother" isn't in fashion anymore!

Turns out the white lotus is the older brother, while the younger sister is a poppy.

Warning: Every part of the poppy is poisonous!

Well, it seems Heng Qing's story is, "I'm not here to break up this family. I'm here to join it." But the plot has barely begun, and the pure sibling bond is already veering off course!

He wants to make the family even closer!

This is bad. The family looks like it's about to fall apart!

They're always wondering if the other's brain is wired wrong.

Nan Jianing can't understand it: "Film emperor, what kind of plot is running through your head?"

Heng Qing, eyes sparkling: "I like you."

Nan Jianing, baffled: "Even rabbits don't eat the grass by their burrow. What are the three of us to each other?"

Heng Qing, crestfallen: "Oh, do you think we're sworn brothers in the Peach Garden, or sworn siblings in the Hall of Loyalty and Righteousness? My brother is the eldest, I'm the second, and you are..."

Nan Jianing, throwing a punch: "What kind of comparison is that? Who's Zhang Fei, and who's Li Kui?"

*Bonus scene

Nan Jianing warns him: "Your persona is supposed to be aloof. Don't go flirting with other pretty girls, or I'll break your legs."

Heng Qing, stars in his eyes: "My Ningning gets more lovable the more I look at her. I like them fierce!"

His assistant offers a friendly warning: "Bro, take this seriously. She really will break your legs!"
