"To untie the bell, one must ask the person who tied it"—though often regarded as an eternal truth, this saying is deeply flawed.
Sometimes, the person who tied the bell doesn't even know how they did it.
What's needed to untie it is a method and clarity.
With a single gentle remark, Shen Yue brought Fang La back to his memories: "Just as you said, in order to suppress me, they exploited the love between Xuerou and me, accusing me of being an unfilial son and a disgrace to morals."
Shen Yue offered a hint of pity. "Yet this only deepened your resolve to marry Fang Xuerou."
Love is indeed subtle.
Sometimes persisting in love doesn't mean it is true love—it's about proving oneself right.
Breaking up lovers might, ironically, push them further together.
Fang La gazed at Shen Yue for a long moment before finally saying, "You truly understand people. In these... two lifetimes, you are only the second person I've encountered with such insight."
