Actor Zhang Linghe shared his thoughts on Murong Qingyi on July 25, 2026, saying that labeling the character as simply a “love brain” is an oversimplification.

In his farewell message for the drama, Zhang Linghe explained that Murong Qingyi grew up without love or affection.

According to the actor, the character did not lose the ability to love others, he lost the memory of what it feels like to be loved.

Zhang said Murong Qingyi never had a role model who could teach him what love truly meant.

As a result, when he finally found someone important, he loved awkwardly and devoted himself completely.

He believes this behavior reflects emotional wounds rather than blind obsession with romance.

The actor has previously described Murong Qingyi as a child abandoned from an early age who endured neglect and abuse.

Even the only family member who once gave him warmth eventually had to let him go.

Those experiences shaped his personality, causing him to hide his longing for love behind sarcasm and a cold exterior.

As the story progresses, Murong Qingyi gradually learns the meaning of mutual support and genuine affection through the people around him.

Zhang Linghe hopes audiences will understand the emotional journey behind the character instead of reducing him to a simple stereotype.
