Ending

Just like that, the childhood-sweetheart siblings developed feelings for each other, and their uncontrollable affair could no longer be kept secret.

"How could I have raised such a shameless daughter..."

Their father flew into a rage in the living room like an enraged lion.

"Dad, it was my fault. Don't scold my sister," Qin Hao shouted.

Smack!

Their father slapped him across the face, growing even angrier. "Have you done right by me? By your mother? By everything we did to raise you?"

Qin Hao clenched his fists. "My sister and I truly love each other."

"You still have the nerve to say that."

"She's your sister! Where does that leave my dignity? How are you supposed to let her live?"

"The biggest mistake I ever made was adopting you."

"Get out now. From this day on, you have nothing to do with this family. If you dare contact her in private again, I'll break your legs."

The slap was real. There were no camera tricks, no stunt doubles. A bright red handprint appeared on Qin Ze's face.

The veteran actor's performance was exquisite. He vividly portrayed an enraged father, making everyone on set, including Director Zheng, sit up and take notice.

The camera focused on Qin Hao's face. At first, he looked dazed and lost. This scene would cut to flashbacks: in his previous life, Qin Hao and Qin Si had also developed feelings for each other and crossed that line, but their parents had refused to let them be together.

In the end, they had been forcibly separated. The Qin Hao of his previous life had lacked the courage to fight his parents. He had been too mediocre, too ordinary. Without his adoptive parents' support, he would not even have been able to finish college.
