* LoveTriangle: It is clear that Lang Wu Yao has feelings for Mu Tian Ming, and resentment about her connection with Shang Bu Hua. For his part, Shang Bu Hua treats Mu Tian Ming as a valued friend, but nothing romantic. However an upset Lang Wu Yao, who follows Shang Bu Hua into exile, tells him that Mu Tian Ming is always thinking of Shang and waiting for his return. Shang Bu Hua answers he cannot return to Mu Tian Ming until he finds a cure to her blindness. This response upsets Lang Wu Yao, who immediately drops the subject to avoid getting angrier at Shang. The question unanswered, is Mu Tian Ming's feelings for the two. Is she only concerned for Shang as a treasured friend, or something more?
