Wow, the leads have such sizzling chemistry, it is electric.

They have become a bonafide loveteam after the success of Eternal Love 1 & 2.  It was so successful Eternal Love 3 is being filmed.

Anyway, this Chinese version of You Are My Destiny seemed to concentrate after Chen Jiaxin lost her baby with Wang Xiyi.  She left him and went back to Hungary where they first met.

Seven years later, she is now an accomplished potter and a kickass girl, no longer the post-it girl.  She met Wang Xi yi again who is now more mature and ready to start over…

Episode 1

This drama started just like the other versions, Chen Jiaxin was the office dogsbody.  She worked as an administrative assistant; does all the menial jobs and hardly get any thanks for it.  In fact, she was often taken for granted and looked down upon.  She is Miss Post-it note girl, expected to do everything tasked to her meekly.

Meanwhile, Wang Xiyi is the CEO and only direct descendant for Cheng Jie Group.  He is an only child and his grandmother’s single wish was for him to get married and provide her with lots of great-grandchildren to increase their tribe.

Wang Xiyi was actually not averse to getting married, in fact, he has already someone in mind.

It was Shi Anna, a very ambitious up and coming ballerina.

Grandma though was not so enthused about Anna.

I have to say that if you have seen the other versions, there is a very strong tendency for you to try to fast forward some of the bits here which are tedious like the workers from Huaniao Island protesting against job cuts, while their roles are given to robots.  This drama scene has been seen before, it was boring then and even more boring now.  LOL.

The leads though are charming.

Anyway, Jia Xin has a boyfriend who wanted to sleep with her but she was nervous about it as she can almost hear her mother telling her not to jump into bed with someone before the wedding ring is firmly attached to her finger.

But seeing her boyfriend grumbling, Jia Xin decided to grab the bull by its horn and told him there and then that she had gotten a new credit card and would like them to go on a cruise.

At that same cruise was Anna and Wang Xi Yi.

Anna was in between dancing schedules, she had just turned down playing Odile in Swan Lake because she wanted to be Odette (or was it the other way around?  She wanted to be the Black Swan, Odile?)

As it was she concurred to go on a cruise with her lover boy.

Lover Boy, Wang Xiyi, had arranged with the captain of the liner to conduct a wedding between him and Anna.  He was delirious with happiness and was practicing his proposal with a huge Tiffany diamond ring by the stairs, where Jia Xin was taking photos (her good for nothing lecher of a boyfriend had disappeared for now).

Anyway, Wang Xi Yi got destructed by a couple of unruly children which made him dropped the ring.

Jia Xin helped him hunt for the ring which ended in a swimming pool.  She told Wang Xi Yi to hold on to her hand while she tries to reach the ring.

But he let go of her and she ended up in the pool but determined to get the ring at all cost.  It almost cost her her life but Wang Xi Yi did jump immediately to rescue her.

Meanwhile why this was going on, Anna received a call from the Swan Lake people from France.  They told her that after careful consideration, they decided that she would make a graceful Odette.  She was desperate for the role, which would make her the first Chinese ballerina to dance as a principal in Paris Opera.  She tried to contact Wang Xi Yi but he was unavailable as his mobile phone had been damaged in the pool.

As it was, Anna had to go as she needed to catch a plane for Paris to start practice immediately as per requirement.

Ergo, when Wang Xi Yi got back to their suite, Anna was not there. So he showered and changed into new clothes but his suitcase contained nighties and girlie stuff.

At an adjacent room, Jia Xin opened a suitcase with boxers in them.

Episode 2

Wang Xi Yi noticed that Jia Xin’s boyfriend was cheating on her. so he instigated a way that she finds out for herself.

Seeing that her confidence was at its lowest ebb, Wang Xi Yi arranged for her to have a makeover.

She was lovely in her minuscule red dress and had her ex-boyfriend punished for being such a rat with her.

Jia Xin was so grateful, she volunteered to help out Wang Xi Yi to avoid embarrassment as he forgot to cancel the wedding in front of cruising passengers.

They did their exchange of vows believing that it was a fake wedding.

Episode 3

They woke up screaming in shock at one another.  Jia Xin and Wang Xi Y were in shock that they were in bed together and obviously had done the deed.  It was a drunken romp.

This was only the start, they found to their shock that their fake wedding was actually legal and it had been filed in the Bahamas.

Episode 4

Wang Xi Yi convinced Jia Xin to go to the Bahamas with him to file their divorce.

Jia Xin was only too willing to divorce but found out that she was actually pregnant.

Episode 5

Wang Xi Yi was desperate to get a divorce as Anna had told him that she was ready to marry him.

Wang Xi and JIa Xin had secretly organise to fly to the Bahamas to get the divorce but their plan was thwarted by his grandmother who heard that Jia Xin, her granddaughter-in-law was pregnant.

Before long Jia Xin’s pregnancy spread like wildfire because of a video where she was throwing up in a durian specialist restaurant.  A vlogger thought that Jia Xin can’t take the taste of durian or she had been poisoned.

It was total chaos and became more so when she got shoved and dropped her three used pregnancy testing sticks which all showed positive.

Jia Xin went back to her mother and family in Huaniao Island.

Wang Xi Yi , who was on his way to the island to inspect his factories followed Jia Xin and her family instead.

He was shocked when he heard that Jia Xin was pregnant.

When  Jia Xin’s mother asked him what he was going to do about it.

All he can say was ‘I don’t know”

Episode 6

Jia Xin was really feeling guilty and responsible for making Wang Xi Yi and Anna’s relationship complicated so she decided that an abortion was the only answer to return everything back to normal.

Wang XiYi followed her to the clinic and when he heard the heartbeat of their baby, he was so moved that he stopped her intension to abort.

His grandma was the happiest she has been and held a wedding for the couple.

Episode 7

And the saddest was Jia Xin.

Wang Xi YI was tolerant of Jia Xin before their island wedding but now he had turned petulant and can be nasty.

He called Mr. Shen on the night of his island wedding with Jia Xin instructing Mr Shen to prepare a divorce document.

During their wedding night, Jia Xin assured Wang Yixi that all she wanted was to give birth to their baby, and then Wang Yixi will have full custody.  She will then disappear from their lives never to be seen again.  She does not want any money or any form of compensation.

Episode 8

Jia Xin moved into the Wang Mansion.  She shares Wang Yixi’s room where there is a huge portrait painting of Anna in her tutu.

Wang Xiyi sleeps on the bed while Jia Xin has the little divan next to the bed.

She still kept her job at the law office but not as an administrative assistant anymore.

Wang YiXi secretly arranged for her to be Mr Shen’s special assistant.

Mr Shen tasked her to attend all the functions he could not go to himself like the opening of art exhibitions, musical, etc.

As this was her new job she usually meets Dylan in these arty gatherings.

Dylan is an art prospector, who has traveled the world for art as well as looking for his long lost sister.

Anyway, Dylan feels sympathy for the kind and gentle Jia Xian and was quite protective of her especially when he saw how Wang Yi Xi was rather dismissive of Jia Xin.  He even saw a divorce document that Wang Yi Xi had already prepared for Jia Xin.

Wang Yi Xi showed the document to Jia Xin.  The document listed what she was going to get after the divorce.

Jia Xin reiterated that all she wanted was to have the baby and give the baby to Wang Yi Xi to rear.  She does not want any money.

She signed the papers.

But Grandma had secretly asked Mr Shen to draw another document.  The content was yet to be revealed.

Shangren, Wang Yi Xi’s cousin was put in charge of Huanai Island.  He signed with another company to co-produce shampoos, etc.

Wang Yi Xi used the body wash from the co-produced line which made JiaXin wretch, she could not bear to be near Wang Yi Xi.

Grandma had the body wash investigated and found out that it contained toxic synthetic.

She was so annoyed with her grandson and her daughter that she had an attack.

Jia Xin just came home and saw Grandma falling in.

In the hospital, the Daugther blamed Jia Xin as the cause of Grandma’s attack.

Feeling that she had no one in the house to stand for her, Jia Xin decided to move back to her old apartment.

Episode 9

Wang Yi Xi plotted to have Jia Xin move back to the mansion.

He was annoyed when he learned that it was Dylan who was taking her to her prenatal exam.  She never asked him to go with her.

So he went with her next ante-natal/Lamaze class but she was upset to find out that it was because he wanted her ob/GYN doctor to endorse their Heritage product.

She told Wang Yi Xi that she never asked him to be kind to her or treat her well but she finds it upsetting that he would use her and their little Ximi for his own business purpose.

Shangren was spreading rumours at Huanai Island that it was due to Jia Xin that Grandma fell into a coma.

Wang Yi Xi wanted to get the record straight, so he dragged Jia Xin with him to Huanai Island for the ribbon-cutting ceremony of their new product.

Episode 10

Wang Yi Xi and Jia Xin are becoming closer.

Wang Yi Xi was really serious in his fatherhood role.  He started researching and studying the father’s role in the pregnancy.

When Jia Xin’s cousin who came to visit her started having contraction inside the elevator wth JIa Xian and Wang Yi Xi, Yi Xi was so good as he took advice from Dr Hao over the phone on how to calm the panicking cousin.

Dr Hao was actually impressed with Wang Yi Xi.

So he was easily persuaded by Jia Xin to support Wang Yi Xin during a shareholders/directors meeting where Shengren had been inciting the directors that Wang Yi Xi will bring the Cheng Jie Group into bankruptcy because he refuses to apologise and collaborate with Mr Zhao of Heifei Group.

In the end, Wang Yi Zi was vindicated because it came out that Heifei was getting bad publicity for their products from testers and buyers.

Episode 11

Wang Yi Zi fired Shangren for logging in from Huanai Island using their grandmother’s password because he saw Shangren later receiving an envelope from Mr Zhou.  He thought his young cousin had sold company secrets.

In fact, what Shangren got was blackmail photos showing Wang Yizi dating another woman prior to his marriage to Jia Xin.  Shangren had to pay from his own pocket for the blackmail.

Thank goodness Jia Xin, who has been elevated as a special assistant to the Chairman (Grandma) of the Cheng Jie Group did not agree to fire Shangren.

Grandma told Wang Yi Zi that he was her favourite person but she will not hesitate to sign the new will, she had Mr Shen prepared, leaving everything and the company to Jia Xin if Wang Yi Zi hurts Jia Xin.

Episode 12

Anna called Wang Yi Zi and asked him to come to see her perform in Paris as he promised.

Jia Xin overheard it and promised Yi Zi that she will help him convinced Grandma to approve his Europe trip.

But Grandma was wily.  Though she approved the trip, she made sure that Yi Zi does not get everything his own way.

Grandma invited Dylan to be Jia Xin’s mentor about Europe and also to assist and support her during medical check-ups.

Yi Zi noticed how Dylan and Jia Xin seemed so comfortable with each other and became jealous and told his Grandma that Jia Xin does not need Dylan.

Grandma retorted that would he be canceling his 15-day European trip?

In fact, he was hoping that Jia Xin would actually tell him that she needed him to stay with her.

Episode 13

Si qi and An Son are getting closer.  She asked him to pretend as her boyfriend during a school reunion as her ex-boyfriend had goaded her that she was finding it hard to get someone to marry her.

An Son came to the rescue and gave her a very passionate kiss which convinced everyone that they don’t have a fake relationship but a very ardent love affair.

It was time for Wang Yi Zi to go to Paris.

Jia Xin was helping him packed his clothes when she felt a little faint.

Anyway, he was at the airport when he called An Son to check on Jia Xin.

An Son had to confess that he was currently in the hospital as Jia Xin had been taken ill.  She fainted at the office.

Jia Xin was suddenly in two minds about whether to go to Paris or stay.

Jia Xin woke in the hospital surrounded by Grandma, Auntie, Anson and Dy Lan.  Suddenly she became excited and wanted to check out of the hospital because she needed to attend an ante-natal group because they will be bathing babies and she would like to find out how to.

Despite Grandma’s concern, she finally allowed her to go as Dy Lan promised to go with Jia Xin and will look after her well.

And he was looking after her when Wang Yi Zi suddenly appeared.  He told Dy Lan to go as he was taking over.

Anna texted while he was bathing the baby.

Jia Xin was concerned that she created further problems between the two.

Wang Yi Zi assured her that for a year, he will do everything for Jia Xin, treat her well as the mother of his child.  He stressed though that it was just for a year.

Episode 14

Grandma noticed that Wang Yi Zi was taking  Jia Xin for granted so she taught Jia Xin some tricks to make Wang Yi Zi take notice of her.

That was to turn the table around, ignore him back which seemed to have done the business because suddenly he wanted to be with her.

He went with her shipping and spoiled her,  They were having a good time until they met a friend of Anna.

Jia Xin pretended that she was Wang Yi Zi assistant. She took the bags from Wang Zi Yi and informed them that she was going back to the office.

Wang Zi Yi was rather concerned about JIa Xin.  He knew that she was going to be upset in some corner somewhere.

And that somewhere was at the closed ticketing office to Huanai Island, where Dylan found her.

She confessed to him that she felt like a thief towards Anna. What she has now should all be Annas.

Speaking of Anna, her friend immediately called her to report her encounter with Wang Yi Zi in front of a baby shop with a happy girl which was making him smile.

Anna’s radar suddenly twanged.

Episode 15

Jia Xin’s mother paid an impromptu visit at Wang Zi Yi’s house.  It so happens that Jia Xin went to Huanai Island to see her and help her cousin care for her new baby.

Anyway, while Jia Xin’s mother was there at the mansion, Auntie entertained her and showed her the huge room that Jia Xin and Zi Yi occupy.

The first thing the mother noticed was the huge painting of a ballerina which Auntie said was girlfriend or ex-girlfriend of Zi Yi.

Anyway, Auntie left the mother in the room.  Mother saw the various photo frames of Zi Yi and Anna and none of Jia Xin and Zi YI.

Mother could not take it anymore, she defaced Anna’s painting and threw all the photo frames on the floor.

She then texted Zi YI.

Liu Lin is such a good actress. Her performance as the mother was very affecting.  You can feel her rage for her daughter.

Episode 16

Jia Xin’s mother was really upset about her daughter’s state of relationships with Zi Yi but she said her daughter is not an adult and she can make her all decisions.

Zi Yi asked Anna if she wanted to have a child soon.  Anna said in the future yes but at the moment, if they get married she wanted just the two of them for a while. She was not really to be a mother yet.

Anyway, the mother’s text got to Zi Yi and he went immediately to the island to see Jia Xin.  They have a good bonding time with cousin’s baby.

I like that the Aunt and Zhangren were quite nice people in this version.

anyway, Dylan was hosting an auction and invited Jia Xin to it.  Zi Yi said that he would take Jia Xin.

Episode 17

It was the day to the charity auction.

Auntie gave Jia Xin selection of expensive items but rather memorable to Zi Yi to choose from but Jia Xin declined as it was too important to Zi Yi.

Instead she opted to donate one of her pottery work which is a rather ugly wish bank (lol).  Auntie was not sure about her choice but Grandma was all for it because it was very personal.

During the auction, the wish bank was introduced for the sum of 20,000.  No one at first was willing to bid but Dylan bid and then Zi Yi competed against Dylan.  In the end, it went for 850,000 Yen bought by Zi Yi.

After the auction, Zi Yi and Jia Xin had a heart to heart about their relationship.

Jia Xin warned Zi Yi not to treat her so well and give her mixed signals because it might be hard for her to walk away after she had her baby.

Episode 18

Jia Xin and Zi Yi have the same day for their birthday.

Zi Yi warned her that he might not be able to celebrate her birthday because Anna is on her way back.

Jia Xin understood.  She wanted to give Zi Yi something meaningful for his birthday so he asked Dylan’s help to find a particular pen that Zi Yi like.

The pen was owned by a collector with a very collector’s item pricing.

Jia Xin was willing to pay the price but the dealer said that he needs a story that would move him to sell the  pen.

Jia Xin told him her story but he thought it was too ordinary.

Jia Xin, despite being pregnant, would not give up.  She stalked the poor man day and night.  She climbed a few floors of stairs to get to the apartment of the dealer.

Because of her persistence, the dealer finally let her have the pen.

She gift-wrapped it and put in Zi Yi’s lunch bag.

When AnSon gave him the box, Zi Yi thought that it was just chopsticks and told Anson to get rid of it and the food that Jia Xin lovingly prepared for his birthday lunch.

Episode 19

Jia Xin was spending her birthday with Si Qi when Anson interrupted to return the pen back to Jia Xin.

Dylan joined the party and saw the pen.  He dragged Jia Xin to the club where Zi Yi was supposed to celebrate his own birthday with Anna.

Jia Xin sent the rewrapped pen to Zi Yi’s table.

Zi Yi thought it was from Anna.  A birthday surprise number by Anna was supposed to happen at the stage.

Jia Xin felt sorry for Zi Yi so she dawned on a chicken outfit and danced.

Zi Yi found out about Jia Xin inside the chicken outfit when he went to the dressing room.  He also found out that the pen came from Jia Xin rather than Anna.

In the middle of this, Jia Xin got a call from her cousin informing her that her mother was unwell.

She rushed to her mother’s house accompanied by Zi Yi.

Her mother recovered enough to tell Jia Xin and cousin that she was hungry and wanted some food.

Left with just Zi Yi, the mother gave the full force of her annoyance and frustration towards Zi Yi and his treatment of Jia Xin.

Zi Yi assured her that he will do better.

And when he saw Jia Xin they had a heart to heart and told her to forget about the divorce because he intends to build a happy home with her and their little Ximi.

Episode 20

Zi Yi is proving to Jia Xin that he was serious in making their relationship works.  He also assured his mother-in-law that he could be trusted to take care of Jia Xin.

And they are lovey-dovey and now share the bed and behaving like a real loving married couple.  They even had that Ghost scene where they were making pottery for Grandma’s birthday which ended in a lot of flirtation.  So cute.

However, he told her that Anna is coming back but he promised her that he will sort it out as quickly as possible.

Episode 21

Jia Xin was meeting Zi Yi with some cookies she baked in the offices when out on nowhere Anna flew into a surprised Zi Yi’s arms.

Both Jia Xin and Ziyi were rather dismayed.

Jia Xin understood that Zi Yi had to speak to Anna but she was still scared that he will abandon her and rather guilty for snatching Zi Yi from Anna, who was so kind to her when they first met at the cruise liner.

Zi Yi told everything to Anna. After a while Anna said that she understood that it was an accident.

This was quickly denied by Zi Yi that it was not an accident.

Anyway Anna said that she did some research.  Zi Yi can divorce Jia Xin after she had the baby.  She and Zi Yi can then look after the baby and when the child is older they can tell him everything and given a choice of meeting Jia Xin.

She had it all planned but Zi YI was not agreeing with her plan.  He said that after she up and left during the cruise, their relationship and change and he was with Jia Xin now and little XiMI.

Anna was not giving up without a fight.  She told Zi Yi that she was not able to contact him from his birthday on because she had an accident during practice when she saw a photo of Zi Yi and Jia Xin all lovely dovey winning a contest.

She added that she has a concussion and hospitalised for days.

Even this emotional blackmail did not convince Xi Yi to unbreak their breakup.  He told Anna that it was over.

He then went home to Jia Xin, who just came back from seeing Dylan who can her a gift from Master Longsham. The gift was a figurine of a Golden Couple.

Jia Xin, hard done by as always, found the Golden Couple broken in half.  She took this as an omen of her and Zi YI.

In bed, Zi Yi promised her that she was now his life and the baby inside of her.

In the middle of the night, the phone rang.  It was the hospital.  Anna had been admitted for fainting.

Zi Yi of course had to go and Jia Xin gave him her blessing.

He later found out that Anna had conveniently suffered retrograde amnesia.  She does not remember anything prior to four months ago.  As far as she was concerned Zi Yi is her boyfriend and the break up the day before never happened.

Episode 22

Aww Xi Yi is so naughty. It looks like he was falling in love all over again with the more childlike Anna. He was at her beck and call at the hospital like a loving and devoted boyfriend.

He tried to tell her that they have broken up but he did not have the heart. Instead, he told her that he’ll come back to see her later.

I have to admit, Jia Xin deserves a good resounding slapping to wake her up from her stupidity.

The way she has been acting as if she actually wanted to lose her baby.  She carried heavy shopping for Anna and climbed up high places to dust for Anna as she had become unwittingly Anna’s dietician/servant.

SiQi told her she was out of her mind and even An Son said so that she keeps giving in until everything is taken away from her.

Does she listen, NO.

She does not deserve pity at all.

Episode 23

Poor Anna.  She finally remembered what happened when she followed Zi Yi meeting Jia Xin for yoga antenatal.

Jia Xin continues to endanger herself and her baby.  She refused Zi Yi’s offer to get a real housekeeper for Anna.

Anna had now regained her memory unknown to Jia Xin, who was confronted by an almost deranged Anna, who called her a man-grabbing little hussy.

Anna told Jia Xin that she was nothing to Zi Yi.  He loves Anna rather than someone so pathetic like Jia Xin..

Anna added that she was going to prove to Jia Xin that Zi Yi still loves her.  She told her Jia Xin to go to the restaurant that night.

Jia Xin dragged Dylan with her and they saw Anna dancing as White Swan in front of Zi Yi.

Anna did look amazing as a ballerina.

The host then said that obviously a confession should fallow.  Anna confessed to Zi Yi while he said that he now has Jia xin and the baby in his life.

Anna remained cheerful and gave Zi Yi a kiss on his cheek and then gave him a goodbye hug.

From where Jia Xin was standing it looks like Anna and Zi Yi had made up and she started crying and Dylan took pity on her and took her away.

Anna and Xi Yi went for a farewell dinner.

Episode 24

This is the climax of the story.

I was beginning to get annoyed with Jia Xin but still, she made me cry when she had to have a forced abortion, poor Ximi, to save her life.

Poor Zi Yi was forced to choose whether to abort to save Jia Xin or not to abort and lose both the mother and baby.

With breaking heart he ignored the distraught plea of Jia Xin not to abort her baby.

This episode started with the conniving Anna replacing the amended divorce papers with a fake one which she passed to Jia Xin during the birthday party of Grandma.

Jia Xin got so emotional because the divorce paper was contrary to what Zi Yi had been telling her.  Now she had to give birth and hand over her baby, never seeing it again afterwards.

Grandma found Anna with Zi Yi in the lounge room.  Jia Xin’s mother also was there with the other relatives.

They wanted to know where Jia Xin was.

Jia Xin’s cousin-in-law found the ripped divorced paper and then all hell broke loose.

Zi Yi said he was going to look for Jia Xin but Anna held on to him.  He nudged her away from him and ran off.  He did not see how Anna hurt her hips on the marble corner table.

Anyway, he did find a hysterical Jia Xin running around in high-heels in the steer and she was beyond listening to hm.

To get away she crossed the road straight into a moving car.  She fell on the ground right in front of a very traumatised Zi YI.

He was at this point hysterical as well, He picked her up and carried her all the way to a hospital where he was told that there is no chance that Ximi could survive and without aborting the baby, the mother’s life will be put at risk.

Poor Zi Yi heard every scream of Jia Xin as they try to put her to sleep to abort.

Jia Xin was inconsolable with grief when she found out that Xi Mi was gone.  She said it was her fault.  And too right too.  She had a mobile phone she could have told Grandma, her mother, Si Qi and even Zi Yi himself of how naughty he was about the divorce.   But she was a drama queen.  LOL. And it would go against the framework of Fated to Love you. LOL.

Episode 25

Poor gorgeous Zi Yi was grieving for Xi Mi and at a loss of how to make it up to Jia Xin.

He was advised by Grandma to give Jia Xin time to calm down and come to terms to what had happened.  Instead, he should focus on their business which was not doing very well at the moment.

This was Zi Yi did in between sending Jia Xin countless messages and texts until she unfriended him in WeChat.

Jia Xin met Anna in the hospital.  They both looked like battered soldiers.

Anna commiserated with Jia Xin on the loss of Xi MI.  She said she knows how she feels because she can never have a baby herself.

Anna mentioned that Zi Yi pushed her a little too hard which caused her to hurt her hips and pelvis on a table.

Episode 26

When Zi Yi finally went to see Jia Xin, he was a little bit too late as Jia Xin had packed up and going with Dylan to Hungary.

Zi Yi did manage to knock on the car window next to Jia Xin but she turned away from him and his pleading of her promise that she will never leave him.

But Jia Xin did leave and Zi Yi was left slumped on the ground crying his eyes out.  Jia Xin’s mother came to him and gave him the signed divorce papers from Jia Xin.

As soon as Anna heard that Jia Xin was not coming, she did not waste any time in trying to ingratiate herself to Grandma and Auntie.

Auntie turned her away because there is only ever going to be one Mrs. Wang in the family and that was Jia Xin.  Grandma is more diplomatic.  She told Anna that her business is with Zi Yi.

Jia Xin began her independent life in Hungary.  She got herself her own job as a florist despite Dylan offering her to work for him in his gallery.

Anna used emotional blackmail on Zi Yi to make him start over with her.  But Zi Yi was adamant.  He said that he only loves Jia Xin now.  It was over with Anna.

Jia Xin was in the gallery.  She was captivated with three paintings by Master Longsheng (?).  She did not know that Master Longsheng was the old man talking to her about the painting who asked her to give a name to the still-untitled trilogy of pictures.  She gave the name ‘The Only One.’

Episode 27

Master Longsheng was very impressed with the girl he met in the gallery and told Dylan about it.

Dylan was invited by Master Longsheng to partake some tea with him.  Dylan brought Jia Xin with him.

Master Longsheng was surprised that the girl he was talking about with Dylan was Jia Xin.

Master Longsheng offered to make her his last disciple but she had to be prepared to suffer for art and work really hard and steadfastly.

Jia Xin was only too happy to learn and was so proud to be his disciple.

Zi Yi continued to badger his mother-in-law for Jia Xin’s whereabouts.  And yet he also continues to have an ambiguous relationship with Anna.

He started his own diary for XiMi and yet he was still with Anna.

Zi Yi comes across as being more in love with Jia Xin than Jia Xin with him but then again there is still Anna.

After three years…

Jia Xin is more confident and free and it shows in her one work of art, which Dylan had on exhibit in his gallery.  It was a horse figurine with a snail on its back.  She called it Ximi, a memento, a souvenir of what she has gone through over the last three years in Hungary and also the time before that.

Jia Xin as an artist is now called Elaine.

Finally Zi Yi signed the divorce paper and gave it to his former mother in law.

It was a Mid-Autumn Festival family dinner.  Zi Yi invited Anna for the meal without informing his family beforehand.

Though they were not too rude, they were far from welcoming to Anna either.  First Auntie excused herself as she was not hungry, then Zhangren said he was going to send some emails and then Grandma said she was going to get some fruit.

It was a very humiliating event and yet Anna was still holding on.

Episode 28

And Anna held on.

Zhangren was supposed to go to Hungary to finalise a business deal but die to Covid 19 restrictions, he was not allowed to board a plane due to his high temperature.

In the end, Zi Yi went instead.

While in Hungary, he went shopping for pressies, one is for Anna for the opening of her dance studio.  He was given the recommendation to go to M Art Gallery, which he did not know was owned by Dylan.

He got a beautiful swan figurine for Anna but he was captivated with a rather ugly (LOL) figurine of a horse with a snail on its back but really sold the piece to him was the blurb/description that went with it.  It was about regrets and letting go.

At first, Ryann, the gallery assistant, would not sell the horse to him because the necessary certification had not been produced.

Zi Yi said that he does not care because he just wanted the piece and won’t be reselling it.

Anyway, Ryann consulted Elaine over the phone and Elaine even spoke to Zi Yi (she did not know it was him) in stilted English.

Elaine said that she will personally deliver the certificate to his hotel.  Just leave his hotel and room number to Ryann.

As promised Elaine turned up but Zi Yi cannot be contacted as he had a last-minute meeting with clients.

Dylan called Elaine and invited her to celebrate her first art sale.

Elaine agreed and left the certificate at the hotel front desk.

Zi Yi was going to catch a fight back to Shanghai.  But as he looked at the certificate left to him at the front desk, he saw the name Elaine and underneath it was Che Jia Xin.

He raised back to the gallery and asked Ryann where Elaine was.  He was told that Elaine was having dinner at a club with her boss, Dylan.

Zi Yi went o the club and saw that Elaine had been proposed to by Dylan in a masquerade ball.

Dylan got called and Zi Yi took the opportunity to get to Elaine. She was so surprised he did not get much of a chance to talk to her.

She thought he was a pervert. He noticed how much more independent she was and sophisticated, an antithesis of the old Jia Xin.

He can’t just let go of her so he again contacted Ryann to say that he wanted to meet Elaine in front of St Matthias Church.

While he was waiting for Elaine, he received a call from Anna, who said that she misses him and once again reminded him that he promised that he will never leave her.

Yes, Jia Xin had changed but Zi Yi had not.  He is still the same man who was dithering between Anna and Jia Xin.

He did make a choice in the end, he felt sorry and guilty about Anna that at the last minute, he decided not to meet Elaine after all.

Instead, he left a borage herb for her at the florist.  He said that he had an important appointment and he had to go but he will always support her and her work.  He called himself W (Z in the Taiwanese Version)

Elaine was intrigued but as she climbed a viewing area, she noticed a man before her wearing the same jacket as the pervert the other night.

She confronted him and got the shock of her life because it was of course Zi YI.

She was so overwhelmed and lose a footing.

Episode 29

Master Longsheng went back to Shanghai to see Grandma Wang, his once upon a time sweetheart because he heard that she had not much long to live.

They got talking and grandma found out that Jia Xin had been under Master Longsheng’s tutelage for three years.

Grandma got so excited, she concocted with Master Longshen a way to get Jia Xin ad Zi Yi together.

Grandma called Zi Yi not to hurry back but instead work with an artist recommended by Master Longsheng to design a soap dish.

Zi Yi agreed and when he went to Master Longshen’s workshop the next day, he met a shocked Jia Xin.

Jia Xin ranted but Zi Yi told her that it was all for business and if she and Master Longshen studio could not design a soap dish then he will find someone else.

This calm Jia Xin down because she can’t let Master Longshen Studio down especially when she had been put in charge while the master was away.

Master Longshen and Grandma were talking their inspired of genius work of getting Jia Xin and Zi Yi together.

Grandma though had a bit of doubt if they did the right thing as it would bring back pain to the pair.

Master Longshen said that pain and mishap cannot be avoided and mishap is a treasure to an artist. Just like how he felt when he let Grandma Wang go all those years ago.

Their conversation was heard by a skulking Anna, who called Zi Yi to ask him if he was dating anyone in Hungary.

He denied dating anyone.

Episode 30

Jia Xin and Zi Yi’s collaboration for a design of a soap dish ended in them having a torrid kissing scene in his hotel room.

He said for her to leave because her being in his room was giving him ideas and our saucy Jia Xin said, she was not scared.

But Anna was on her way to Budapest to check on her man.

Episode 31

After the kiss, Zi Yi confessed to Jia Xin how much he regretted not protecting her and cherishing her three years ago.

I noticed that Liang Jie has the prettiest hands, fingers and nail shape. Rather hypnotic watching her hands touching the gorgeous Xing Zhaolin.  LOL

Anyway, Jia Xin was moaning about how it been so hard for her to become Elaine, independent and self-confident and sometimes she still feels the old Jia Xin.

When she looked back at him, he had fainted or fallen asleep from her going on and on about how hard it was to metamorphose into a beautiful self-possessed woman.

She forgave him though from not paying attention, LOL (He did take a drowsy flu tablet).  Looking at him she told him that still wanted to be his Chen Jia Xin.

But he got a text from limpet Anna, who said that she was downstairs because she misses him.

Jia Xin quickly got her things and realised that it was the same old story.

Anna actually saw Jia Xin leaving Zi Yi’s room but when she knocked and let in into Zi Yi’s room by him, she acted as everything was normal.

The next morning, Anna went to knock for Zi Yi again.  This time Zi Yi told her that he was tired of pretending that their relationship was still viable.

Anna said that he was not allowed to finish the relationship, only she can and in her own good time.  Then she told him that she was going to wait downstairs in the restaurant.

Zi Yi though got a note from Jia Xin telling him that he was such a con and she doesn’t want to have anything more to do with him.  Never so see her, and not to contact her ever.

That was the only thing that Zi Yi needed, reverse psychology of not to contact because he ran in his lovely long legs to find Jia Xin.

He found her chopping woods in the backyard of the of Master Longsheng’s art building with Dylan.  He went to hug Jia Xin and said he wanted to be a family with her and they should make a new Ximi.

Big mistake.  Jia Xin ran off.  Dylan told him that Jia Xin still has depressed mode when she thinks of Ximi.

Meanwhile, Anna explored Budapest.   Two thieving Europeans took her purse.

As it was, it was a very small world because after the thieves took the cash, they threw the purse on the ground which was picked by Dylan.

He had a look at it and surprise surprise, Anna has a photo of herself when she was a girl with her adoptive mother. She looked like Dylan’s long lost sister.

I have to admit I find the W storyline stupid and unnecessary. Why would you have time to talk to a stranger online?

Episode 32

Dylan returned Anna’s purse to her and they got talking about her family background.  She firmly believed that she was an unwanted child and was abandoned.

Dylan was upset that she did not remember the circumstances why she got separated from her family.

Meanwhile, Zi Yi was stalking Jia Xin as his boring W persona.

Grandma and Master Longsheng was trying to throw Zi Yi and Jia Xin together but it was going all wrong.

Jia Xin does not want to return to Shanghai but instead, she said that advice from W has inspired her to travel the world instead.

Now Zi Yi has to have another plan and that was to get Anson to marry Si Qi and ask Jia Xin to be the maid of honour.  Jia Xin then had to return to Shanghai.

Episode 33

Jia Xin is back in Shanghai;

Everyone was encouraging her to get back with Zi Yi but her ‘id’ was telling her not to be fooled again.

But she was so tempted and even asked W for his opinion.  Poor W (Zi Yi) was so tired helping at Mother in Law’s noodle shop, had mistakenly advised ‘no’ when Jia Xin asked him is she should give Zi Yi another chance.  W fell asleep before he could correct himself.

Episode 34

This episode is blood-boiling.  Jia Xin does not deserve Zi Yi.  She was treating him like dirt.  And to a certain extent, she was still a post-it girl.

When Dylan told her that Anna was his long lost sister and he wanted to give her anything and everything she wanted including Xi Yi, Dylan asked Jia Xin to give way and let Anna have Zi Yi again.

Like a little sheep, Jia Xin agreed.

Seriously, what does Zi Yi see in her?!!!  Move on Zi Yi there are prettier girls out there and more fecund. 🙂 🙁 🙂

Seriously not loving this version.  To make the drama longer, the script was going round and round and round and all for nothing.

I am so looking forward to the ending.

Episode 35

Tedious, tedious Tedious.

The penultimate episode and they are still going on and on and on about the bleeding Mr W. 🙁

Seriously, no one deserves love in this drama.  LOL

Their pseudo-self-sacrificing is actually selfish and self-indulgent.

Zi Yi finally decided to show himself to Jia Xin as Mr W. He told her to meet up by the fountain.  He will be carrying borage, which meant courage.  It seems this borage is bogus because it did not work. LOL

Zi Yi had a wobble, he turned wimpy.   He asked Dylan to come over and be Mr. W instead.  What?!!!!!!

Seriously?!!!

I did have a bit of a cry when Zi Yi thought he was finally letting go of Jia Xin.  He hugged her for the one last time and told her that sweet little Ximi brought them both joy, so he should not be a cause to feel guilty and sad about.

Dylan realised that Zi Yi really loves Jia Xin deeply.  And also he had an idea that his sister is rather mentally disturbed and had something to do with the real reason for the break of Jia Xin and Zi YI.

Episode 36 – Finale

Yes!!!!!

Si Qi and Anson got married not in a lavish affair they originally wanted.  It was only them and Jia Xin and Zi Yi in the registry office.

Their simple wedding made Jia Xin realised that she still loves Zi Yi but she cannot pursue this love anymore.

She also realised that despite finally with Dylan, she was making him uncomfortable rather than happy.  So she breaks up with him and told him that she was going to tour the world as she dreamed of doing.

Dylan had a lot on his mind.  He was feeling the guilt of his sister. He knew now for certain that she changed the divorce paper of Zi Yi and Jia Xin.

Dylan is really the good guy.

was packing her things when Grandma called to ask her to visit.  While at the mansion she went to see Ximi’s room and found the diary Zi Yi kept

I must say this scene where she was reading the diary made me cry so much.

However, it did not move her enough to change her mind about leaving the country and her husband.

Even when Zi Yi was running after her at the airport (I have to say that Xing Zhaolin looked perfectly handsome in his suit running in great strides.  I am rather partial to running men … but not from the law, I must be firm on that. LOL).

Jia Xin just ignored him as someone inconsequential in her life.  It took a text from Anna for her to finally forgive and listen to Zi Yi.  What kind of love was that?  If this is going to be a real marriage, I give it two years and they will be divorced.  LOL

Anyway, they made up and they got remarried again.

Then they started from the beginning by going on their honeymoon in a cruise liner.

While doing a Titanic shot, Jia Xin asked Zi Yi when he first fell for her.

He said that it was when she jumped into the pool to fetch his ring. He thought then that they were fated!

Ahhhhhh
