As if echoing the relationship between the two actors in real life, by the time episode twenty aired, there was suddenly an online flame war between fans of Liu Rusu and Yang Zhen.
One side staunchly supported "lovers destined to be together," while the other insisted "duty over love," and both sides fiercely debated who Song Chi should end up with in the end.
By this point, "Heart Inquiry" truly gripped the viewers' hearts, and regardless of which side they chose, they were deeply invested in the show's plot.
As for "Mother and Son Inn," which had been riding on the coattails of the hype from the start, it had been completely outshone by "Heart Inquiry."
They simply weren't in the same league.
The heated debates sparked by "Heart Inquiry" gradually became a social phenomenon, with more and more people joining in the discussions and, consequently, the ranks of those following the show.
In the midst of this fervor, Zhou Yun and Su Yan tacitly agreed to a ceasefire.
