Since its broadcast, The Pretender has been deeply loved by the audience, especially Ming Tai and Yu Manli, the life and death partners. Their relationship also attracted speculation from the audience. Is Ming Tai in love with Yu Manli or Cheng Jinyun? This answer did not give a clear answer in the TV series. In fact, Ming Tai has feelings for Mary, but that's not love. Mingtai's feelings for Mary are more inclined to sympathy and pity.

Mingtai is not the master of the Ming family. His mother was killed by a car to save Mingjiang and Minglou. Mingtai also entered the Ming family life because of his mother's death. His sister Mingjiang and his brothers Minglou and Chengdu have taken good care of him, and Mingtai is very grateful and caring for them. In addition, Ming family was the upper class in Shanghai at that time, and Ming Tai's identity and family would not allow him to fall in love with Yu Manli.

In addition, Ming Tai's eldest brother Ming Lou once said a word in the play? My young master never uses what others have used? Mingtai didn't want what others had used since he was a child. Yu Manli grew up in a brothel and was later redeemed by a wealthy businessman. After the death of the wealthy businessman, he continued to marry his enemy in order to avenge him. Yu Manli's identity and personal experience are not suitable for Ming Tai's identity, and Ming Tai, as a member of the Ming family, certainly knows that he and Yu Manli can't be together.

Chen Jinyun has a pure background, an excellent tutor and a single emotional world. Her identity is * * * production party, and Mingtai later developed into * * * production party member. They have the same goals and ideals, so Chen Jin Yunhe and Mingtai are more obviously consistent in family background, emotional outlook and pursuit.

Ming Tai also said many times in the play that he and Yu Manli are life and death partners. Mingtai has pity for Mary's sympathy as a comrade-in-arms, excluding love.
