It's a great show. All the side couples are so sweet, but the main couple's fate is much more difficult. The first couple to get together endures eight years of hardship before finally reuniting. The female lead is incredibly strong. Despite her family's tragedy, she, a high school student, fights her case relentlessly to seek justice for her mother.
This novel is incredibly good, very exciting, with a vivid and intricate plot. Each chapter is captivating and suspenseful, especially the scene where her father brutally beats her mother and the female protagonist—it's truly heartbreaking. The poor child, born into such a family, is utterly powerless.
The mother suffered domestic violence for many years, the father favored sons over daughters, and the grandmother aided and abetted the abuse. Xu Xi, who later became Lin Xi, resolutely stepped into the college entrance examination hall when her mother passed away, and achieved an excellent score of 740 points, becoming the top scorer in the college entrance examination.
The author's writing is excellent, with a brisk and engaging pace. Five stars for a great read! I read it from 11 pm last night until 4 am 🤦, finishing it in one go. It really made me laugh and cry 😢😆, and I used up almost a whole pack of tissues! Such a great writer! 👍 I've been reading "Nine Heavens Purple" lately, and I really ship the male and female leads! Their characters are based on the novel by Li Yunrui and Meng Ziyi, and I really hope they star in the drama! 😄😄
It's truly a wonderful show! The mutual love between Xixi and Zhouzhou, the childhood sweetheart romance between Lu Yue and Keke, the loving relationship between Wanwan and Huai'an, and the love between Xie Jinyan and Xiaosuizi are all so captivating. I especially cried many times watching Xixi's coming-of-age story; her family background made her life so difficult.
My heart aches for the female lead. My poor Xixi, separated from the male lead due to family reasons, only to meet him again later. I also love Shi Ke and Yan Wan so much; they're like little suns, healing Xixi. I also adore the friendship between Yan Zhou, Lu Yue, and Jin Yan.
I love the author's writing; the themes of family, friendship, and love at the beginning all made me cry buckets 😢 The author's descriptions are also very delicate. What impressed me most was when Xixi's father (who is simply a scumbag) beat her and her mother. I really felt the pain of the mother and daughter and it broke my heart.
The author portrays two completely different family models: The male protagonist's family is democratic and loving. The female protagonist's family is cold and ruthless. The insights that the two families offer to readers: When the father is loving, the mother is at peace; when the mother is at peace, the child is at ease; when the child is at ease, the family is harmonious.
It's so good, it really made me cry so much. I thought I could escape that house after the college entrance exam, but my mom left after the exam. The male lead is so kind and gentle, unlike other novels where the son and daughter both dislike the son. This one is different; the parents love their son and daughter very much. The brother dotes on his sister, and the sister also loves her brother. When she gets into trouble, her brother always covers for her.
The story of a broken mirror mended is quite good, though the beginning is a bit angsty. It starts with flashbacks to their first meeting and falling in love in school. However, the female lead's family is very poor; she suffers domestic violence from her father and lives with her mother. But her mother is murdered, plunging the female lead into a terrible situation.
