Sorry, guys. Probably an unpopular opinion but I don't like how Cheng Cheng is carrying out the revenge.
First off, I feel like Ci Nian should have more control over what happens because it's his revenge story. If I remember correctly, Ci Nian himself wanted to handle the "counterattack" himself and I would agree since it'll be more satisfactory to see the victim reign supreme and get justice for everything that's been done to him.
Second, I think this recent revenge tactic is going too far. Cheng Cheng endangered another life (the pink haired girl tho she was kinda homophobic), and could have endangered even more if there were more people on the road. Also, threatening that minion's family (especially the young son! What if the was Wowo!) was really low. I can understand it as a bluff, but I'm doubting it.
Third, this tactic is not really hitting all the revenge points of karma and repercussions I expected. I liked Ci Nian's approach of exposing Xi Nian's truly manipulative and evil nature. During those times, Xi Nian truly got what was coming for him.
But getting drugged? Being set up for a car accident in a drunk driving incident? Having his face mutilated? Losing a leg? Almost dying then waking up to find you are less of a person (physically. I'm shocked his leg got amputated. That's actually really sad)?
Xi Nian himself is a murder. He's a terrible manipulative brat. With all the bad things he's done, something bad is bound to come back for him, but not this way. Not with these low blows stripping him his humanity. Instead it would have been better to strip away his mask bit by bit to reveal the monster underneath.
If Xi Nian had died at that point, he would have "simply" died as a scandalous and reckless heir. He would have died without realizing how scummy of a person he really was and neither would the public or people around him know what he really was.
Idk, sorry long rant, but what I really want to see in this revenge plan is to have everyone know what crimes Xi Nian committed and for Ci Nian and him to meet, letting Xi Nian realize that he lost. That all his evil tactics caused him to lose in the end. I want to see Ci Nian smirk in satisfaction that there is sweet justice served.
I don't want that justice to be tainted by more blood.
Ci Nian and Cheng are supposed to be the good guys, but it's hard to root for them like this. The revenge is no longer as sweet. It's kinda bitter.
Too be honest I also wanted another type of revenge. Like I bet Xi Nian will be put in a mental hospital or something. I would rather have him suffer hell in jail. But still this revenge is kinda the fastest cause legal stuff can take longer to be processed. Plus I think that using the minions son was only to pressure him and not actually do something to the kid but who knows. All I can say is that I agree that I would like another type of revenge but this is better than nothing.
Yeah I agree with this statement so much. I want them to meet tbh and that Nian can show his brother he is still alive. Like I can show a little bit of mercy to Nian's brother but that it cause he deserved it.
Although yeah it would be much better, but I get it cause Cheng is worried bout Nian, so I can get that. So this story is still good, just some little changes would make it even better!
There are no babies in this story! I want to see the children!!! Like, yeah, they did give us babies technically, but I want some from our mcs that isnt like the pervious ones where they all ended tragically and was kinda brushed off as "oh no! anyways..." kinda things.
