Marco and Vivian's story was just horrible - it gave me the impression that it had to end that way simply because Yue Fei had cursed Qin Hui prior to his execution, saying that he'll have no descendants, and because of that, Qin Hui's descendants had to die, even though his grandchildren Vivian and Lee Yiu King were both really good and righteous people. That story actually reminded me that no matter how much someone wrongs me, to never, ever curse them that their line will end, because I'll never know if one day my grandchildren will be friends with their grandchildren. Vivian and Lee were such likeable, heroic youths, and even though Marco eventually restored his family name he was devastated that he lost both of them.
I cannot for the life of me remember the second story, though. Ada was first, Marco was third and Gallen was fourth.
