Local woman Cheryl Tan spent forty hours watching Pursuit of Jade because her romantic life is as dry as a week-old char siew.

She reportedly wept during the finale, moved by the "marriage of convenience" plot which she considers more achievable than finding a boyfriend who doesn't smell like MRT air-con.

"The noble lead is so handsome," Cheryl sobbed, ignoring her husband who was currently scratching his koteh in the background.

Fans were deeply touched by Zhang Linghe’s Weibo post, finding it more emotionally fulfilling than any performance review they’ve ever received.

After the credits rolled, Cheryl immediately began searching for another 40-episode drama to fill the gaping void where her soul used to be.
