I don't want to compare, but Li Qian's firmness in rejecting Gao Miorong is no more firm than the male lead in Ju Jingyi's other dramas. for example TBARP, Yun Xi, LWS, ICOHO, etc. This led to much speculation from the audience that li qian had hidden feelings for miorong. even though in the first part, li qian also clearly told a right-hand man that he only considered Miorong as his younger sister.
