Sure, it would be great if we could break free from the old ways and move beyond the "riding double... Barrels" mentality.
No beating around the bush! Concise and efficient! I like He Yuzhu like this!
Thank you! I'd like to express my sincere gratitude for the gift. Thank you for the recent gifts! Lately, I've been writing a lot about finding and identifying hidden gems! Every time you give me a tip, I want to ask if you, my dear readers, want to see more of these kinds of stories! If so, I'll add more of these bargain-hunting elements in the future!
This is very well written. Keep it up, author!
That New Year's Eve, Qin Huairu got nothing and huddled in the bridge arch, where she starved and froze to death. It's a matter of perspective. From the Jia family's point of view, Qin Huairu was excellent; she not only raised three children but also provided them with a house, savings, and a job. But from Sha Zhu's perspective, she was utterly heartless; Qin Huairu did things that ordinary people wouldn't. 😂
This modified version isn't exactly poisonous, but it's still incredibly potent. I'm about to be poisoned to death, so I'd better get out of here quickly. I'll leave a mark before I do!
This is the most brilliant four-month story I've ever read—no pile drivers, no saintly figures, just a silly guy living for himself. It's really well-written! 👍👍👍👍👍
That's a bit ruthless, but if the system is a repentant and enlightened fool who has found a suitable and competent person, it really might be that ruthless. I feel a rating of 7.5 Is more appropriate, as it's a bit too harsh and some people might not be able to handle it.
That was satisfying to see!!! It's just a little disappointing that the young widow wasn't given a personal touch!!
It's so well-written! Why is the rating so low? 🧐
