Synopsis

In her previous life, Shu Tian became opposed to marriage because of the family she grew up in.

After graduating from college, she relied on sheer determination to make her way in the workplace and build a successful career. By her thirties, she had a car, a house, savings, and a business of her own.

But years of overwork without proper rest took their toll, and she died.

Then, for no apparent reason, she returned to the late 1990s and early 2000s. She had barely arrived when she was faced with finding a job after college and being pregnant before marriage.

This was exactly the life she had wanted: leave the father behind and raise the child. If only she had a status that let her coast through life.

Soon, that chance came along. Her parents, who had recently passed away, had left her houses and storefronts in S City and G City, as well as several supermarkets. The rent from those properties alone could support her for several lifetimes.

Jiang Sheng was a researcher at a science institute in B City, but an accident left him unable to have children. His family worried about him, especially since their family line had been passed down through only one child for generations.

He had once traveled to hospitals across the country to put his family at ease, and even sought treatment overseas, but nothing could cure him.

He had thought he would never have children of his own.

Then he saw two boys who looked just like him, along with a little girl whose features resembled her maternal grandmother's. Overcome with joy, he suddenly remembered something that had happened a few years earlier.

Big Brother: “Mommy, I made some money selling things outside the cinema after school today.”

Second Brother: “Mommy, look what I came up with today. What do you think? Pretty impressive, huh?”

Little One: “Mommy, I came first in the school race today.”

I read this a few years ago. I think the female lead was something like a hotel manager. Every day, male leads from different CEO romance novels would check in, and a whole series of ridiculous melodramatic events would follow. It was pretty funny. The female lead would also help the heroines who were suffering in each melodramatic story. I think that's about it.

The female lead was a staunch non-marriage advocate, so why did they end up together? 🤦🤦🤦🤦

This novel resonated with some of my own thoughts; its ideas are quite progressive. I personally don't really yearn for marriage, partly due to my family background, and partly because of my own strong opinions. It's so rare to find someone who truly understands and accommodates you, and marriage should inherently be about mutual compromise.

I don't want to get married either. It's too complicated, involving managing all sorts of relationships, and it's not even secure! The divorce rate is so high these days! I'd rather be free and independent on my own. It's just that my later years might be a bit tough, unless I'm as rich as the female lead!

I think this female protagonist has a really good life ideal. Since she has a child and can also have a career, does she still need a man? Men are just a spice in life. Many girls in reality think this way. Women can do what men do, and men can't do what women can do.

I strongly support the author's portrayal of the female protagonist. Everyone talks about gender equality, but due to lingering patriarchal ideas, women are expected to marry, be family women, love their children, and prioritize their children above themselves—this seems to be exclusively female. If they don't, they're considered wrong and immediately labeled "bad women" or irresponsible.

The female protagonist's self-reliance and adherence to her heart, her refusal to sacrifice her freedom for various emotions, and ultimately her ability to bring happiness to everyone perfectly. In reality, women, especially married women, often compromise with life by gradually losing and giving up on themselves, swallowing their helplessness and bitterness.

I highly recommend this novel; it's really good. I really like the female lead's approach to children—she prioritizes their happiness and doesn't impose her own ideas on them. I admire her free and easy lifestyle.

Superb! The content is concise and clear, without dragging. I strongly agree with the female lead's ability to stick to her beliefs and make decisions immediately when she realizes something, without being blinded by romance. Her educational philosophy towards her child is also excellent, respecting the child's choices. Marriage isn't necessarily the final destination for women.
