this moment really hits if you’ve read the Shen San extra.😭
Yes, true! SW has been through aspects of this before. (No doubt that's a big contributor to his loathing of his gui-ness.)
And it somehow still has the same themes of Shen Wei sacrificing something of himself for Zhao Yunlan (an ongoing process in the novel, a specific past moment in the drama).
That's true -- that theme and ZYL's DNW about it come through so strongly in both versions. *hearts*
If she wanted to stay purely out of loyalty to the SID, for her colleagues, or because it’s the right thing to do - anything but romantic love - I think he would want her to stay.
Yes, this. And I think the family-ness of the SID is important to him, too, and her absence would be felt by everyone. But absolutely agreed that he wouldn't lie to her or pressure her.
