Happy 1st Anniversary Light & Night! The announcement of a wedding series comes with a lot of touching callbacks of everything we experienced with the men and so I thought it would be nice to point them out.

OSBORN 【Unswerving Vow】

Fun Fact: The 海誓 in the card title likely comes from 海誓山盟 which is pledging everlasting love in oaths as high as mountains and vows as deep as the sea.

Everyone has poems assigned to them and their cards and Osborn has “Put Out My Eyes” by Rainer Maria Rilke.

There are pearls sewn into the heroine’s wedding dress and she has a pearl anklet too, which is probably a nod to his summer event. One of his nicknames now for the heroine is “Little Pearl”.

EVAN 【Meaningful Contract】

His poem is “In My Sky At Twilight” by Pablo Neruda. But did you know that he also quotes Pablo Neruda in his museum date? There he reads out “Every Day You Play…” by Pablo Neruda, which some may find familiar since it has the iconic line “You are like nobody since I love you”.

In the first version, you can see him putting on the heroine’s shoes, which should remind you of Cinderella. In his birthday date and Valentine’s date, there are branches where they joke about the heroine being Cinderella.

SARIEL 【Sealed With A Kiss】

His poem is “Unending Love” by Rabindranath Tagore. Unexpectedly, this is also consistent like Evan because in Chapter 12 of the main story, Sariel quotes a line from “Stray Birds” by Rabindranath Tagore, specifically the first line since Stray Birds is a collection of untitled poems. (By the way, I really recommend this poet, his poems are so good).

Oddly, you think Charlie would get birds in the background of his cards, but Sariel is the one who gets them. His winter card had two birds beside each other watching them and it’s probably a nod to the heroine’s nickname of “Foolish/Clumsy Bird”.

CHARLIE 【Heart of Diamond】

Fun Fact: You cannot convince me that they are not playing with the Engish phrase, “heart of gold”.

His poem is “A Red, Red Rose” by Robert Burns.

The caption that goes with his card (not the PV) says “I’ve won this round of Russian roulette” and it’s a callback to the first time Charlie and the heroine met in Chapter 7 and he invites her to play Russian roulette with two pills in his hand to test how far she’ll actually go for her freedom (naturally, both of them were safe).

Charlie always mentions their marriage so it’s not a callback, but his PV line of “The entire universe heard my confession, this time you can’t run away” is just adorable.

Fun Fact2: If you have eagle eyes, you can spot Sherry and her boyfriend on the cake topper beside the mini Charlie and heroine!

JESSE 【Cupid Express】

His poem is “Bright star, would I were stedfast as thou art” by John Keats.

He’s brought up Cupid before in his Spain date, even calling the heroine “Miss Cupid”, and talking about being shot by her arrow of love. In addition, Cupid is the Roman god of love and his counterpart in Greek is Eros and well… Jesse has tons of Greek mythology references, so this one can pretty much count as one because the Romans copied the Greek gods.

The caption that goes with his card (not the PV) says “We are perched on the golden arrow of Cupid, chasing the early summer wind” and not only is this another nod to Cupid but also a nod to the “summer” in his Chinese name, Xia Mingxing. Summer is one of his symbols!
