Is there actually a plot where someone rebels against an arranged marriage? The old man really came prepared.
Within the Sanctuary, everyone was shocked.
Even though the old man's portrayal of Don Juan claiming "I am not your son" could easily cause confusion,
even Fu Qian, who knew what was going on, wouldn't be led astray by a mere sentence.
Of course, it wasn't about a personal revelation, in this scene, it clearly felt like a long-suppressed rebellion finally breaking free—
Sorry, I pursue freedom in love, and the one I love is right there in the audience, so I absolutely cannot accept this loveless marriage...
You tell me not to forget my identity, but unfortunately, that cannot bind me. Even if it means not becoming the heir, I can't let her down again...
Lines like these, classic as ever, didn't even need to be finished by the groom; surely they were already resonating in the hearts of the audience.
