On the outside, Gu Qingpei is shrewd, refined, and worldly-wise—sharp-tongued without ever losing his composure or crossing the line. Deep down, he is clear-headed yet tender, possessing the cunning wit of a fox while remaining steady enough to defuse any conflict, staying true to his principles even in the face of emotional turmoil. He could have lived an illustrious and respectable life—if only he hadn't met Yuan Yang. Yuan Yang was too young, but is that really an excuse? Should Gu Qingpei be the one to bear all the consequences? If it were you, could you have done better? Or... In any case, in Singapore, you crossed paths with Gu Qingpei.
Beijing is so vast, and Chang'an Avenue spans ten lanes—there is bound to be one where we'll never cross paths.
