New works are released, welcome everyone to read my works at Tomato Novel,
The novel focuses on the eldest daughter Liu Zhaodi, who is trapped in a deformed ecological chain woven by her parents' "honest demands", the "sweet poison" of family praise, and the deep-rooted concept of favoring sons over daughters. Parents Liu Gensheng and Wang Xiulan used kindness and difficulty as a shield, and wrapped their endless demands for Zhaodi in sighs and "heartache." Zhaodi's dedication is not only a heavy sacrifice, but also the only source of her family status and distorted sense of value. The praise from her relatives was like a strong anesthesia, making her addicted to the false reputation of a "good daughter" in her exhaustion, making it difficult for her to break free. The younger brother Liu Jiabao sits back and enjoys his success with peace of mind. The alienation of the second sister and the "self-compensation" of the third sister with betrothal gifts are just different tragedies under the same patriarchal logic.
Zhao Di's marriage became the last load-bearing wall. Her husband Lin Weidong's forbearance grew day by day until the family black hole swallowed up the future of their young family. His cold divorce ultimatum became the straw that broke the camel's back. When her mother's serious illness became the ultimate moral kidnapping bargaining chip, her parents' hidden plan (the "capital" reserved for her younger brother) was accidentally revealed. Zhao Di finally saw clearly the cruel truth under the veil of tenderness - the umbilical cord that connected the bloodline had long been turned into a heavy shackle that cut into the flesh and left a "blood mark"...
