It looks good. To be honest, the heroine is great. She is not particularly nice or bad to her stepsons and stepdaughters. She is also better to her own children. She will not fall in love with those children as soon as she sees them like stepmothers from other distances. Moreover, the property is only divided between her own sons and will not be shared with other children of the male protagonist's ex-wife. It's cool!!
It's quite good-looking, and the male and female protagonists are very realistic, with both strengths and weaknesses. The theme of being a stepmother and the character of the heroine set up by the author will arouse a lot of people's disgust and controversy, but I think it is very novel and not a false stepmother article that glorifies. After reading Chapter 271, the heroine's character collapsed. The heroine asked each of the four children to take several tutoring classes throughout the day. Is Zhou Shao's salary enough to attend the tutoring classes after deducting household expenses? It's not just a subsidy for the heroine, why is it so good to them? What's the difference between the character-destroying story and other nanny-stepmother stories? A stepmother is more concerned about their future and achievements than a biological father!!?? He knew Lin Nuan was a bad person but still spent money to attend several interest classes. Did he still want to reform her later??? What originally attracted me was the heroine's sobriety and lack of taking care of things. Other comments kept saying that she was a free nanny. I thought the heroine was not, but I didn't expect the same. Unfortunately, I looked forward to updates every day, so I gave up.
The heroine is very nice, but Lin Nuan feels quite bad. Zhou Qian is too rude and has a bad temper. As for her impatience and hygiene, she has to talk about it every day. I really can't stand it if I were the heroine. And Zhou Yan likes to rely on himself in everything (which has to be said that the male protagonist is incompetent). Lin Yuba has a dull temper and feels like he is living in his own world. He doesn't even care about his sister's affairs, but each has its own vividness. I feel that the author wrote it very vividly. I changed the review from five stars to four stars. The reason is that first of all, the heroine was really good at the beginning. I felt that after the military zone, she felt like a nanny to the children of the hero. Then the plot is very slow. I wish I could write down what happened in one day in 10 chapters. Then the heroine always encounters all kinds of things. It has been more than 200 chapters and the heroine's career has not yet developed. There are so many things going on, I get bored just looking at them 🤦
For the realism of this writing, I give it 5 stars. It's very good-looking, and I'm looking forward to what the follow-up development will be like after watching it. First of all, it makes people feel that the female protagonist is very sane, and the male protagonist is also very sane. I feel like a family formed by two people is a family where everyone knows what it is for. There is no such thing as saying that they will fall in love with each other inexplicably as soon as they get married. The writing is very realistic, and the male protagonist also has his own little thoughts. It is not as "perfect" as some romances. I feel like I have a closer understanding of marriage in real life after reading it. There is also a very personal description of each child's personality, and you can feel that each child is different. Although children often have bad tempers, it doesn't make people upset when they look at them. Instead, every child feels distressed. Although I think this male protagonist is really annoying, and I feel that he can vividly express the shortcomings of many men in reality, but he is taller than a short man, and I feel that he actually does a good job in some places. So really in the end, I think the best situation is to be a family, and the chance of pure love between the male and female protagonists is low. 🥺 I still want the heroine to be the only one beautiful. It's still a lot of work for a big family, and no one is happy.
The heroine is sober and powerful, with high means, not a virgin. I like that the heroine wholeheartedly cares for the child she gave birth to, and she made a will shortly after birth that her biological child would inherit all the inheritance. She doesn't care deeply about her stepsons and stepdaughters, but she can shoulder some of the responsibilities. Looking forward to the next development.
Although there are six children, the writing is very warm and attractive. I don't like the hero's biological son, he's too ungrateful
It's really good to watch, but the timeline is a bit long, the pace is a bit slow, and it's a bit too detailed. I've read almost 600 chapters, and the fifth child hasn't appeared yet. I guess it's been more than a year since the heroine came to the Zhou family. The career line of the heroine is quite interesting, and there are a lot of reasons. But I still prefer the family line, which is more tender. The heroine is very sensible, and the writing is very real. At the beginning, it was about human nature. The heroine is not a virgin, not a love brain, and she is not a nanny. The heroine is the same as the male. They are all a bit shrewd and calculating.
In a more realistic period novel, the male and female protagonists are evenly matched in terms of personality. The male protagonist is very shrewd and has his own little ideas, but he treats the female protagonist very well. The heroine has good character and a clear mind. She is more of a cooperative couple with the male protagonist. She is a real heroine. The male and female protagonists are rare novel protagonists who have a sense of life. They are not black and white template characters. They are very vivid and attractive. I think the heroine can give readers some inspiration and new thinking on how to treat others and raise children, which is refreshing. A good article, worth reading (but readers who hope that the male protagonist is a flawless good guy should read with caution, as they may not be very satisfied)
The rating is low. It's a very interesting article. There are no cheats or exaggerated plots. It's very life-like. Each child has his own shortcomings and advantages, but they are all good children! The heroine is someone who is good at discovering everyone's strengths and magnifying them. Without the Virgin, she just uses her own methods to warm them up and bring changes! Really good at raising children! I love watching it! I like this kind of heroine!
The heroine's character is very good and very real! I saw many people in the comment area saying that the heroine is a nanny. Although the heroine does housework, she also helps with the children. The heroine says she doesn't care about the stepsons, but in reality she has discipline. Many people come here to criticize the heroine. I don't understand it. I feel that this is real human nature, watching the children become emaciated and rotting in the mud? The heroine just did what most people would do, with a hard mouth and a soft heart. Among the four stepsons, Zhou Yan has the best personality, he is measured, empathetic and loyal. Then the characters of the other three stepsons made me see the game of human nature in the comment area. Zhou Qian was a "pure" bully in the early stage. He did not think that all his actions towards Lin Nuan were a kind of harm. In his perception, it was normal and had no empathy. Then he put on a carefree and simple setting, and was taught by the female supervisor in the later stage. Lin Yu and Lin Nuan are brothers and sisters, the closest people. However, their thoughts and personalities cannot resonate with each other. They are the most intimate and the most distant. Lin Nuan relied on Lin Yu and only showed his true self in front of Lin Yu. In terms of characterization, Lin Nuan is richer and fuller than Lin Nuan. Lin Yu's setting is the same as that of most stepmother stories. There is a child who is quiet, well-behaved, easily moved, and will reciprocate. The emotional value unique to the heroine is a normal three-dimensional view, without humanity, and only a special tool for the heroine. What I hate most about this character is that he cannot sympathize with his sister. He talks about benevolence and morality without considering the material basis. Although the sister has moral flaws, this is not a reason for the brother to stand by and watch his sister being harassed. He is too quiet and has no human struggle at all. Lin Nuan's character design is the most controversial, but also the most fulfilling. He is a villain who is going through a tragic childhood. Without the appearance of the heroine, he will be a bad guy in the future, but the heroine appears and leads him to the right path. People like Lin Nuan are often the most successful in the future. What he does can only be said to be the survival of the fittest. In order to survive, he will use any means to deal with bullies. He will secretly resist in his own way ("green tea" method, whispering, complaining), and will use others to fill his stomach. Lin Nuan hopes that his brother will still help him even though he knows that he is wrong. I have seen many people complain about this, but I personally think that this is a reflection of Lin Nuan's humanity. The person he is closest to is his brother. He hopes that his brother will stand by his side unconditionally and hopes that he will be protected by him. This is understandable. He is a "cruel" person with moral flaws.
