    Summary

    [I wrote this a while back, but the scenes didn’t work. I have COVID, so what to do, except go over the scenes and make them work!]

    Minister Gu Chunfang has come back to the capital from Jibei Province to take up office as the Minister of Justice, and found that his protégé Zhang Zhe is embroiled in a dangerous mess. He’s deeply suspicious of the Junior State Preceptor Xie Wei, and of the State Preceptor’s beautiful student, Jiang Xuening, who just “happens” to keep bumping into Mr Zhang. After Zhang Zhe’s mother dies, Mr Gu finds that Mr Zhang is in deep waters…

    Features a silly limerick. I put this down to COVID fever.

    Summary

    Xie Tian knows that he is the hopeless one in his family. He decides to run away from home, but he soon regrets how well he managed to hide his tracks. During the journey, he learns some astonishing facts about his parents. Are the things people say about them really true? And who exactly is his father really? Maybe he shouldn’t have run away after all.

    [I actually didn’t mean to write this. However, it just popped into my head the other day when I was driving home from work. It comes out of that final scene where the Xie family is having dinner with Yan Lin, Shen Zhiyi and Zhang Zhe. I extrapolated from that scene to create a somewhat difficult father-son relationship between Xie Wei and Xie Tian, because Xie Wei is still a very scarred and flawed person. And then, there’s a touch of Jiang Xuening and Jiang Xuehui, too (with one sibling thinking that they’re unloved).]
