I haven't finished reading it yet, but I'll give it a good review first. It's well-written. The fact that I read every chapter without missing a single one shows that the characters are well-developed, the writing style is good, and the logic is sound. I don't like mindless wish-fulfillment stories or stories with poor plots, but this one is just right.
It's pretty good. The characters are well-developed and not one-dimensional. The female lead is really frustrated; the feeling of being subservient is described in great detail. The male lead is also awful. I wonder how they'll get back at him later on. 🤭 When are you going to escape? It's so annoying! I'm so frustrated, watching this is giving me nodules! [Staring emojis]
The male lead is arrogant and the female lead is strong and courageous. Sometimes, the female lead reminds me of female college students who are trafficked in modern society, forced to give birth in the mountains and confined for life—it evokes both grief and resentment. No matter how devoted the male lead is, he doesn't deserve sympathy. [Requesting more updates][Upvote] The rating shouldn't be so low; the author's writing is good, keep it up! 👍
It's well-written, but I really hope the female lead becomes independent soon; she's suffered so much. Judging from the male lead's current thoughts and actions, I hope he stays as a low-ranking official forever—it's too oppressive. The author portrays this feeling very well, but I feel the ending doesn't necessarily have to be one of the male and female leads being together. The pain caused doesn't necessarily need to be forgiven. The fact that this female lead can still get by is amazing.
The story flows smoothly. The female lead is resilient and assertive, and initially thrives in the workplace, but the male lead uses his power to force himself on her. I hope he suffers the consequences later on.
It's pretty good. The female lead has a very unique charm, and the male lead is also a person. I hope the ending isn't a happy one; a bad one would be better!
The male protagonist of this book is the first exception I've encountered in all my years of reading novels—I both hate and like him. The female protagonist is very clear-headed, but forced to live a life of struggle. In short, the plot is fantastic, and also infuriating. Few people in the male protagonist's entire family are normal. 😄
Please update faster! Although the author says it's a novella, I hope it won't be mostly about the female lead suffering while the male lead is just glossed over. 🙂 The pacing is okay now, but since the female lead has suffered so much, could you please write a longer story so she can have some happy moments? 🥺
This book is absolutely brilliant!! Although it has many "cringeworthy" points, I think everything is written perfectly. I believe that a strong female protagonist isn't simply someone who is invincible, but rather someone who remains steadfast in her beliefs and perseveres when faced with difficulties.
I finished reading it in less than a day; it was a book that left me with very mixed feelings. Forced marriage is unforgivable, especially for someone like Sui He who so desperately values freedom and equality. Therefore, it's perfectly reasonable that the ending of the main text states that Sui He's feelings for Lu Jingyan were nine parts hate and one part love.
