I love these two so much

Florencia just knowing Gu Xing is a bottom is killing me 😭 saw through that tough personality immediately lmao our girl is in danger from every direction

Irene dressed as a prince 😩 Love how she's playing the long game of waking this girl up out of her delusions of royal grandeur, I feel like it's clear she's going to realize sooner than later she's not cut out for the role she once idolized.

Kelly, the woman that you are 😩 It's not happening with Qiao Lin but I'm still rooting for you! 

Men, five seconds after they think you can't understand them:

Love how people thought Kelly was about to seek Heshas attention but no, she was truly fed up and ready to stand on business 😭 Cracked his little glass jaw and everything, we love to see it

Y'all please do not overlook Fayes caged bird imagery paralleling the heroine from Irene's book. It's a common metaphor but it's also a direct foreshadow of Faye being a closeted girl trapped by delusions of what she really wants, just like the character Irene wrote. I imagine that's why Irene knew EXACTLY how to crack those delusions, because she already sees through Faye's facade

Literally everyone except the Bodyguard and Meng Nian are confused 😭 The people who read Gu Xings novel, Gu Xing herself, the crossdressing girl, the parents, the irl readers who couldn't make sense of the last 3 chapters... literally everyone is lost 😂

Faye is exactly what I imagine when people start talking about the "gay agenda" lol that girl is on some Fox News type of conspiracy

Idk if this is ever getting uploaded in English so here's a summary of this chapter for y'all.

Hesha enters the bakery, exhausted and irritated. Qiao Lin (Jolene I think is what they call her in the localization now) asks if she had a fight with her family, and Hesha agrees, offering the cake she just bought as payment if Qiao Lin keeps her company and let's her vent.

Qiao Lin refuses, saying that she won't take the "job", but if Hesha wants a friend to talk to then she'll happily oblige. Hesha gets flustered over the idea of being friends and then talks about her father wanting her to stop seeing Qiao Lin. She uses a phrase similar to "quit/let go" and Qiao Lin wonders what Hesha could have said to make Heshas father think she was dependent on Qiao Lin. Hesha basically says "I just told him you were principled and helpful, I don't know why he thinks we're too close "

Hesha then goes on to say the tutoring will stop, which upsets Qiao Lin, and Qiao Lin demands to know why. Hesha explains that she's worked hard to create the business proposals she's worked on and doesn't want her father to get in the way. She then implies ending their tutoring relationship is a good thing because then Qiao Lin won't be seen as someone who "sells herself for money" like her father thinks. She claims her and Qiao Lin can then have a pure and untainted friendship.

Qiao Lin does NOT take this well, especially with the implication of prostitution, and replies that she's more than willing to have a dirty/unclean relationship with Hesha, seemingly alluding to their ambiguous activities like kissing, causing Hesha to react how she does at the end 

-End of chapter-

"made you look" with someone's dead boyfriend is insane 😭
