Jay

Sun couldn't cry despite drowning in grief and guilt. He wanted to feel pain that's why he ends up with a stranger almost as an act of self-dëstruction and emotional numbness. Jay is someone who is emotionally detached and rarely feels genuine empathy. He finds this moment profoundly unfamiliar. Seeing someone cry so honestly affects him in a way he doesn't understand. Sun evokes something in him for the first time in his life.

Fang Chi. Fang Chi? Fang Chi. Are you afraid? Fang Chi. Zhang Zhun. You're drunk. We're not filming right now. Are you afraid? No. I can't. That means you're willing. Zhang Zhun, wake the hell up. I'm Zhen Xin, not Fang Chi.

In their second life, they were separated for three years once more, but this time they endured the distance with certainty, secure in the knowledge of each other's love. Qi is no longer trapped by his father and confined to the palace, he's free to choose his own path, while Yanzhi is no longer a pawn, and is free from those who seek to use him for their own ambitions. Finally, after meeting again, Yanzhi has overcome the poison the Crown Prince had forced upon him and he and Qi get to grow old together and live the rest of their lives in the arms of the one they love the most.
