In this movie, Qiao Yiyi played the role of Shen Liangchuan's fiancée.
Qiao Yiyi's character had a crafty and unruly personality. When she discovers that Shen Liangchuan had gone to a brothel, she creates a scene and from then on, Shen Liangchuan would became a distracted fiancé.
This would cause unhappiness in their marital relationship.
Following this, Shen Liangchuan's official career would be fraught with difficulties. In addition to his wife's death later, he would find himself waking up to reality.
He would feel like life was full of ups and downs, and nothing was permanent.
If he wanted success in this confusing world, he had to abandon the idea of being a hero.
Hence, that would seal his fate as he gradually turned into an ambitious and ruthless character.
This scene was thus a critical one.
The big drama created by Qiao Yiyi had to be reasonable, so that viewers would sympathize with her.
