Love hurts

I had been staying in front of the tv faithfully every Mon, Tue and Wed at 10:30pm for a Chinese drama. I hate the story development yesterday.

The leading actor A used to be crazily in love with a forced-to-be courtesan B. They grew up together and B’s family got into some trouble and she was the only one left and was sold to be a courtesan. A’s love for B was so firm that even his whole family objected it he insist on marrying her one day. Later A’s family got into trouble but his love to B remained, despite the hardship he and his family were going through.

B’s “courtesan Mummy”, sort of coax her into writing a break-up letter to A. She cried but she did what was told as A’s future was really bleak.

A used to always bicker with the Princess C. But he didn’t know she was a princess then. Later on they became good friends and C helped A obtained a letter from B, knowing that he really missed her and she hasn’t been replying. But they letter C happily brought to A was the break up letter.

C’s family was later on cleared with a crime the Emperor suspected them to have committed. Then Princess C realized she has fallen in love with C. C after some uncertainty realized he loves the princess too. They got married.

But B was back in town.

B wanted to win him back. She acted pitiful. A bought her a house using the money Princess C had earned. Princess C found out. They quarreled, A apologized to Princess C and patched back after several days.

Princess C is worried about B wont give up on A. A friend lady D suggested finding B a husband. B rejected a very good man they found her. Princess C’s maid worried B will somehow damage Princess C’s marriage in future and ask D to help send B away. D did so. On the way of sending her away, B jumped into the sea. She was later rescued by a bad guy but D didn’t know. They thought B was dead.

A found out what they did and was really mad and sad. They went to that river and searched for B. But they can’t find B’s body. A believe B is not dead yet. He was cold towards Princess C. Princess C asked if the two of them can still be as loving as before. A nodded in a somber way.

Has the princess did anything wrong? NO. I don’t think so. She is trying to protect her marriage, and the one that asked to send B away was the maid. B and A were lovers for the longest time. Who wouldn’t be worried that they might get involve with each other again?? Yet, A and perhaps other men, will think C is too much. B obviously won’t give up on A when she insisted she will not leave. Who wouldn’t do something to protect her marriage?? There’s no way one should blame the princess, no way. But in usual case, the husband, like A, will be mad about his wife, when in actual case, the wife is the victim. Even when A said they can still be as good as before, as loving as before, I doubt he will let go of this matter soon. But if not he kept seeing B and helping B with the money Princess C had earned, none of this would happened! I hate such story. So unfair. And so heartbreaking for the wife in this case… it will hurt a lot if you love one blames you over his ex.
