只以为他 事多 任性 脾气大
“(I thought he was just troublesome, spoiled, and bad-tempered.)”
“(But he's more calculating than anyone.)”
“I was totally blind to how shrewd and calculating he really is behind his bratty exterior.”
In contemporary Chinese pop culture and daily talk, someone who appears openly bratty (任性, 脾气大) is often seen as harmless, whereas someone 'fuhei' (腹黑) harbors deep schemes, making a realization of this shift particularly jarring.
