Fresh Morning in a Broken World

Shen Xihe (with Gu Qingzi's memories) shied away from love as a response to the sorrows.

He fell for her hard and fast yet also recognised that there's no one else who'd be right for her. When he says, in ep 13, that in the end, the choice can only be him, he was not really being arrogant. Well, he was being a little arrogant, but he believed it whole heartedly to be correct. Shen Xihe's ambitions are huge and dangerous. And there's no one more willing AND capable than him to help her fulfill them.
