really weird until now (and been reading this for a while) have never (not once) thought of this as a romance, but just a sibling story/family drama. never thought of the guys as potential love interest - maybe i'm the weird one lol
but agree with u that Ming Lan deserves better, she always ends up being hurt and its really heartbreaking, so hope that she will find her place and be surrounded with people that really love her.

Half of the characters in the manga piss me off so much, including all three of the love interests. I feel like the best ending for Ming Lan is if she didn't end up with any of them XD I don't think I've ever felt like that about another romance manga. Honestly I'm just sticking around to see if Ming Lan will get her justice, slap some sense into the people who used her, and show them that she doesn't need to put up with any of their bullshit.
