I don't think that XY ever thinks that she is a marty. She is someone who simply longs to love and be loved. And when did she remind CX over and over again that nobody remember her birthday? They simply discovered that they share the same birthday and are talking about how they spend their past birthdays. She lack confident yeah, but I don't think she tries to put herself up as pitiful. When CX ditches her on her birthday, she didn't cling onto him and reminds him of how pitiful she is did she? She tries to put on a brave front and let him go.
As for her mom, it's quite obvious that she did not know how to show her care for her daughter, even though she did love her in her own way. With the father gone and she busy making a living, I doubt she have much time for her daughters.
i totally agree with what you've said. as i've mentioned previously, she is not a martyr. she is just plain nice and considerate of others. and to borrow XY's words in her wish box, "she is (just) someone who simply longs to love and be loved!"
putting on a brave front was such a milestone for qiao en as an actress. i love the way she acted it out.
as for what you said about the mom, i agree with that also! the actress who portrays her mom is so funny. i even find her more funny than granny! i wonder if CX and XY will visit them in ep 9.

I don't have a problem with Anna wanting a career. It is the way she seems to treat her boyfriend in the process of going all out for this career. She'll leave him waiting secure in the knowledge that he will still be waiting for her. Like when she chose to go to the airport in the first episode - did she even call him to let him know she wouldn't be coming before she got on the plane? Then from things that are said this wasn't the first time she had just left him without telling him where she was going. That is why I think she is being selfish.

I wonder if we get to see the major transformation with Cunxi. I can't remember if they wrote it in the synopsis of the drama or the novel. I think I read that Cunxi started coming home for dinner, he also ended up sleeping next to Xinyi and getting used to it. - We haven't seen that yet, and if Anna is already on her way back then... Well, in a way I understand why Cunxi would choose Anna if he only spent so little time with Xinyi. I don't feel as if they have had the chance to truly fall in love with each other, at least Cunxi haven't.
Either way, I cannot wait for episode 9! I am so looking forward to seeing that kiss, I kinda hope that Anna sees it
I don't mind ambitions, but Anna is expecting him to wait for her for 2 years, I think that's what she said. "Please give me two more years". - It's kinda a lot to ask for, so I don't blame Cunxi for feeling neglected.

^We never really saw CX not going home for dinner and all in the first place so going home for dinner is almost nothing.
Choosing XY over Anna in the end, i think maybe it's because he has been dumped by Anna too many times. Especially the 12th time and XY was there for him at the last two times.
(He doesn't know that Anna got injured yet)
And then XY has been really nice, sweet to him. Plus they've been through a lot together.
Epiosde 9's birthday celebration will be really really sweet.
I think the kiss was a on them whelm thing though.
If we can have a falling in love at first sight thing, falling in love after spending so much time, being through so much isn't that surprising
I don't think she will see the kiss. Cuz of the NG scenes towards the back. There was one scene of Anna and Anson and it seemed like she didn't know anything yet.
I wonder what the scriptwriter is planning for the future.
So far, Anna is not the mean/evil 2nd female lead that we always see.
And XY instead is the clear third party(although accidental)
It's not the normal the male lead didn't really like the 2nd girl in the first place kindof thing.
Hopefully they will pull off CX choosing XY over Anna without having either Anna or XY being hated by the audience haha
I agree with those that say Anna isn't selfish. She's a girl with ambition and willing to chase after them. Giving up her ambition for the sake of love shouldn't be needed.
But when she chose her ambition over love, she has chosen to put her love with CX at risk too, open to the possibility of CX falling for someone else instead during her absence.
It doesn't help that she has so many cases of dumping CX.
if you think about it, yeah, XY is the clear 3rd party but somehow i sympathize with her character more than anna. logically speaking, CX and XY are at fault it, though to borrow your term, it was "accidental", and definitely not intentional. well, jia you bian li tie!
and the good thing about this drama is that there is no "sinister" and "scheming" 2nd leads, like zheng ren. for all the 4 leads, you somehow feel that they are just reacting the way normal people would do, which is really nice.
that's true. you know it's really true what people say, you cannot have both at the same time (love and career. you either lose one.

I'm really looking forward for next episode, it will be so sweet and sad too (hopefully epi 10 is the sad one)
I think...
XY look so pretty in those jacket/dress in the preview and the kiss, ohhhhh can't wait.......
the kiss from the preview was just a smack! hope XY would kiss back! i'm hoping for a more romantic kissing scene.
