Just then, Gu Qingyu met an inappropriate person and left after a flash marriage. Great changes have made Gu Qingyu mature a lot, and she has gradually understood Feng's difficulties.

Drama evaluation
The title of a play is not only a stable state that describes "where people live", but also an attitude towards life that expresses "where the heart lives". In the play, both Feng, who hopes to have a small family symbolizing independence and recognition, Gu Qingyu, who strives to provide better life care for his family, and the despair of ideal love all show the yearning and pursuit of a better life for modern urbanites, and through their own efforts, they exchange for a stable and sunny life, as well as the ownership and recognition of their self-identity. As a result, the people in the play are also pursuing the future, and they have embarked on a journey of change and gain. For example, in order to seek a longer-term development, Feng started a brand-new life plan that he never thought of; The reunion of Gu Qingyu and Ishihara triggered the outbreak of many practical problems, and also prompted Gu Qingyu to quickly jump out of the dull life and start to think more deeply about his emotional life. Such details can be regarded as a true microcosm of the real society, linking the ups and downs of life with various social situations, portraying the philosophy of survival belonging to ordinary citizens and arousing the feelings of the audience. (Review of Jinling Evening News)
The drama inherits the literariness of the novel text, and integrates many fragments of Shanghai life into the drama, forming a polyphonic narrative. At the same time, the TV series supports the "Shanghai experience" with more intense drama conflicts, especially focusing on the key word "house", which symbolizes both economic status and social status, and outlines Shanghai in a series of ways, so that every audience who has lived in Shanghai can find a specific life scene or unique spirit that they are familiar with. With bright colors and positive attitude, the play shows the struggle and struggle of Shanghai families, focusing on the confrontation, reconciliation, transformation and maturity of two female hosts-foreign daughter-in-law Feng and local aunt Gu Qingyu, and also extending to the ups and downs of representatives from all walks of life in Shanghai. It can be said that director Huatao Teng has been trying to construct the expression of "healing" in urban works and endow urban life with spiritual dimension, but it was not until Living in the Heart that he finally matured and realized another way to interpret urban life, that is, he surpassed the cold, gray and even hopeless naturalistic expression in Dwelling House, developed a warm, bright and positive realistic narrative tendency in the play, and discussed the ethical boundary of kinship. The drama restores and reproduces the complicated life experience from the characters to the plot, and the Shanghai experience involved is optimistic, positive and constructive, which conforms to the Shanghai urban spirit of "all rivers run into the sea, pursuing Excellence, being enlightened and wise, and being modest in atmosphere". The drama presents the complexity and versatility of the characters, and the key characters have their own characteristics. However, the development and evolution of the characters are closely combined with specific events, which embodies the rich characteristics of Shanghai and brings the colorful features of Shanghai into life. In short, the play is grounded and human, giving the audience a sense of reality in life. Both the warm narrative tone and the Shanghai wisdom in the plot can be regarded as a good explanation of the "Shanghai experience" in recent years. The play is the story of every old Shanghainese or new Shanghainese. It eulogizes the warm colors and superb wisdom in seemingly ordinary life, which is enough to resist all the disappointments in real life, and also encourages people who are trying to find ideal peace of mind.
