* SecondLawOfGenderBending: Best represented by VoicesAreMental below; Zhang Peng still identifies as male upon travelling back in time and attempts to indulge in a lot of playboy-esque behavior despite becoming a woman. However, over time - especially as he later comes to the realization that he may never go back to being a man much less return to his own time period, he grows comfortable with living as a woman. [[Later played tragically, as Zhang Peng ends up returning to the present not long after accepting his new life.]]
* StopDrowningAndStandUp: Lu Li falls into a lake and starts screaming for help. Then she realises the water is less than waist deep.
