Ending
The drama ends with a woman's voice calling Cao Xiaoqiang's name and Cao turning his head. The identity of the voice generated much discussion in the Chinese cyber-world among fans, with people analyzing the voice of each actress that has appeared in the show. In December 2012, accepting the Favourite Male Character Award at the TV Drama Awards Made in China, Xu Zheng slyly told the crowd: "She is whomever you want her to be."
Director Sun Hao revealed that the voice was actually by actress Fan Bingbing, who happened to be paying the set a visit.
