In "Mountain and River Order", I have always felt that Gu Xiang fell in love with Cao Weining, which is really unreasonable.
Let's analyze it. Gu Xiang grew up with Wen Kexing, who could be said to have raised her like a baby, although she was still a child, she did her best to take care of Gu Xiang.
Therefore, as soon as Gu Xiang appeared, he was a brutal character.
Because she lost the bet with Wen Kexing, she angrily beat Zhou Zishu. If it wasn't for Wen Kexing seeing Zhou Zishu's Liuyun Nine Palace Steps, I'm afraid he wouldn't have interfered in their affairs.
Later, Wen Kexing followed Zhou Zishu and Gu Xiang into Ling's words, and Wen Kexing only simply stopped them, and Gu Xiang did not pay any attention to them.
All kinds of behaviors can be seen that Gu Xiang was actually pampered and raised.
As Wen Kexing said, Gu Xiang was the only warmth in his heart, so he would do his best to protect her.
And Gu Xiang grew up with Wen Kexing, and when he saw Wen Kexing's planning, whether it was martial arts or scheming, he was a few points stronger than ordinary people, and his heart should be very admired.
According to this logic, her vision of finding a man should be very high, and it is impossible to look at a pure and virtuous "big white rabbit" like Cao Weining.
I have also asked the people around you: If you were Gu Xiang and there was such a tall, handsome and capable Ghost Valley Lord around you, would you like someone else?
They said: No.
So why doesn't Gu Xiang like Wen Kexing?
Maybe it was because Gu Xiang already knew that Wen Kexing didn't like women!
In this way, Cao Weining is actually Gu Xiang's "retreat to the second".
Gu Xiang grew up with Wen Kexing, watched him go crazy, enjoyed the favor he gave, and followed him to the human world, until he saw Wen Kexing meet Zhou Zishu, only to find that wen Kexing, who was originally in front of Zhou Zishu, was the real Wen Kexing.
From that moment on, she probably knew that Wen Kexing was destined to be Zhou Zishu's.
I think this may also be a good point of this drama, because there is no emotional line between Gu Xiang and Wen Kexing, the plot will not be so bloody, otherwise, this plot will not fall into the cliché.
Although Gu Xiang did not understand love, she said that he felt that after Wen Kexing met Zhou Zishu, he became more and more like a person.
When she saw that only Zhou Zishu could make Wen Kexing a child, only Zhou Zishu could make Wen Kexing chase desperately, and only Zhou Zishu could make Wen Kexing cry sadly, she was blessed.
She also longed for such feelings in her heart.
Gu Xiang, 17 years old, does not understand what love is.
But at this time, she met Cao Weining, who was born into a famous martial artist, but was full of righteousness.
But he was obviously not a good match for Gu Xiang. Because Gu Xiang grew up in the Ghost Valley, although he was raised purely, it was because he had the protection of Wen Kexing around him.
The person Gu Xiang needed was not a "great white rabbit" like Cao Weining, but someone like Wen Kexing, who was cunning and cunning, strong enough, and able to protect her.
Just think: if Gu Xiang met someone like Zhou Zishu, would their love still be a tragedy?
Wen Kexing did not look up to Cao Weining, because he knew that Cao Weining could not protect her, not Gu Xiang's first choice.
In the play, we can see that Wen Kexing does not like Cao Weining, but Zhou Zishu likes it.
Couldn't Zhou Zishu see what kind of person Cao Weining was? If you can't see it, you won't say that he is a "great white rabbit".
However, Zhou Zishu felt that a person like Cao Weining, although he could not protect Gu Xiang, could warm Gu Xiang, just as he wanted to warm Wen Kexing.
Because of his support, Wen Kexing did not continue to oppose, but instead agreed to Cao Weining and Gu Xiang's affairs. After all, out of the Ghost Valley, it was already difficult for him to continue to protect Gu Xiang.
Finding her a piece of shelter, a way back to the world, is her best choice.
Does Gu Xiang really love Cao Weining?
I think more, is touched.
After all, out of the Ghost Valley, the people she knew were Cheng Ling, Zhou Zishu and Cao Weining.
Although Cao Weining's martial arts skills were not high and he did not have any scheming, he was willing to give up everything for her.
When Gu Xiang's identity was revealed, when Cao Weining saw that master might not agree to their marriage, he desperately eloped with Gu Xiang, although he was desperately eager for the approval of master and his classmates, but at the critical time, he was willing to give up everything for Gu Xiang.
This love, for Gu Xiang, was enough.
Gu Xiang grew up in an environment where people kill people, and self-preservation is her instinct. But when she saw that Cao Weining was willing to use her life to protect those who did not want to do it, her understanding of human nature, like Wen Kexing, was shaken.
Wen Kexing told her that the most terrible thing in the world is human nature, and he has been showing Gu Xiang the worst side of human nature.
Cao Weining let her see the kindest side of human nature.
Zhou Zishu is the light of Wen Kexing, and Cao Weining is the light of Gu Xiang.
Unfortunately, this beam of light was trampled by Mo Huaiyang.
Loss made Gu Xiang crazy, and also made her hurt by this.
I hope that in the next life, Gu Xiang will be able to understand what love is earlier, so that she can fall in love with Cao Weining earlier.
