I've been thinking about Tong Ru and Han Muchun's connection ever since it was hinted that there's something between them. It felt really really melancholic thinking about their relationship based on the lines given to them expressing their world views, and how much they treasure having familial connections. And the last chapter dedicated to them really ruined me, LOL, I didn't see it coming. There's so much yearning between them which can't be expressed by mere words alone. Man, I love their dynamic.
直道相思了無益，
未妨惆悵是清狂。
—
Since no satisfaction could possibly arise from my expressing unrequited love,
I might as well brood in melancholy to idly lose my mind.
—
Even if pining never bore any fruit, there was no harm in melancholy turning to a pure craze.
