This was a scandal through and through.
But once the truth came to light, coupled with Jin Shi's heartfelt confession, searching for Mu Xin for twenty years...
That statement had lethal impact.
Similarly, a recent cliché asked, what kind of woman couldn't Jin Shi have?
Why did it have to be Mu Xin?
And surely, love at first sight was all about the face.
Jin Shi was never short of beautiful women.
Not knowing whether the woman had been married off during her twenty-year absence, not knowing whether she had been leading a good life, not even knowing if she could remember him, yet he persisted in searching for her for twenty long years.
Self-reflection would tell you, few men could do that.
It was a hopeless wager.
Everyone finally understood why Jin Shi was always rumored to be gay—he wasn't gay at all, but had been loyally devoted to one woman for twenty years, willing to remain celibate for her.
