In 1993, before Lü Shiliang had even had a chance to enjoy the perks of being reborn, he faced his classmate Lin Shiyun, a beautiful top student with excellent grades, who used her looks to force him to come ask her parents for her hand in marriage...
“My parents won’t let me continue school. They want me to get married so they can use the bride price to find my brother a wife.”
“Lü Shiliang, why don’t you come ask my parents for my hand?”
Lü Shiliang thought, “Dating without marriage in mind is just fooling around.”
His wife-to-be had practically delivered herself to his door. Why bother dating?
“Once I finish university, I’ll start my own business anyway. Now that I’ve been reborn, I can start a business right away. Why should I keep going to school?”
Lü Shiliang said to Lin Shiyun:
“Shiyun, you can go to school in my place.”
He waved goodbye and left the school without a backward glance.
Years later, Lü Shiliang, hailed by the world as the ultimate kept man, looked at his wife, who had won a Nobel Prize, become an academician, and amassed a whole host of students and protégés while still young.
He sighed. “What did I do in a past life to deserve this? I’m a total ignoramus, yet somehow I raised my wife into an academic powerhouse!”
What a mess, it looks really uncomfortable😣
It's so verbose, it makes me uncomfortable to watch.
Very good book, recommended
The overall storyline is okay, but the non-mainline historical narrative is too wordy.
Come on!!!
