In the original plot, the male lead and female lead were able to meet, or rather, the male lead was able to see the female lead in a different light, thanks in part to He Tiantian, the top-grade former wife.
The male lead's career suffered a major setback due to his former wife's betrayal, casting a shadow over his psyche as well.
He always felt that beautiful women were restless, and that disparities between the social statuses of men and women made problems all too likely.
So, when his childhood friend and good buddy started dating a female university student from a remote mountain village, the male lead took it upon himself to offer some advice.
Of course, the male lead, being the male lead, was a forthright, aloof god.
He gave his friend advice out of consideration for their friendship.
He himself wasn't the type to meddle in others' affairs or gossip like Third Uncle, and his words warning his friend not to be misled by a woman's appearance were spoken only once.
