It's so well-written! Love, marriage, relationships, life, children—it's all described so vividly. It captures the pain and feelings of so many women. Absolutely brilliant!
Yang Duo's shift in marital values represents the insights of many women. Only by living for oneself and understanding life can one truly transcend worldly entanglements. The nun, tormented by love and unable to find an outlet, found relief even in the help of the doorman, a source of immediate emotional distress and catharsis for her menopausal state.
That analysis of men is so insightful! Brilliant!
At the prime of their lives, 40 is a time of intense passion, yet marital breakdowns have plunged countless families into turmoil, causing countless individuals to be tormented by love. Yang Duo, Ye Shan, Li Zhi… even the old man in the gatehouse is no exception. Who among them isn't troubled by love?
This book tells the love and marriage stories of several women in their forties, depicting their confusion, pain, moments of enlightenment, and sweetness. It captures the full spectrum of life's joys and sorrows. Yang Duo's story is particularly thought-provoking: how can a forty-year-old woman love herself, live her life, and love others? A woman only has everything when she has a career and financial freedom. The book contains many insightful reflections on life and is highly recommended!
Ye Shan is just a tool; once his mission is complete, he should die. How else could they remarry if he didn't die? Ye Shan's appearance was meant to make the female lead understand the true meaning of love. Now that she understands, he dies. Next, the male lead should get divorced, and then he and the female lead should remarry, living happily as a family of three.
This book speaks so clearly and realistically about all kinds of women and men! It's a very real and relatable book, truly worth reading for married couples.
It's really quite interesting. The author is very funny, humorous, and cheerful like a young girl. Even the plot involving infidelity and death isn't depressing. It has a bit of an O. Henry style, making the writing a pleasure to read.
This is a very realistic novel. The content is authentic and relatable. I can feel how real the characters are. Good love requires effort and nurturing, and this kind of friendship is also enviable. A great read!
Married life for a 40-year-old woman is truly a nightmare! I can totally relate! After reading this novel, I was deeply moved and benefited greatly. The book centers on the romantic lives of several women in their forties, exploring their views on love while also touching upon thought-provoking issues such as the education system, the care for youth development, and various social phenomena.
