Different faces of idealism: Su Zhe’s “easy confidence,” Huang Yimei’s “all-or-nothing determination,” and Fu Jiaming’s “purity in the face of death.”
The many ways to deconstruct marriage:
Su Zhe and Huang Yimei: A modern blend of soulmates and partners in life.
Huang Zhenhua and Su Gengsheng: A “business partnership” of a marriage, rationally matched but spiritually unbalanced.
Chen Xiao and Shu Chang: A “fast-track” marriage that skips dating and goes straight to the everyday realities of life.
(In the future) Fang Xiewen and Qiao An: A “traditional” marriage in the name of stability, but built on control and sacrifice.
The marks left by one’s family of origin, and the struggle to transcend them: Every character’s choices bear the shadow of their family, from Su Zhe’s independence to Fang Xiewen’s inferiority complex and Su Gengsheng’s sensitivity. Yet through love and marriage, they try to heal those wounds or fight against them.
The lives of young people in the city: A vivid portrayal of young people of different backgrounds, educational levels, and values as they strive, socialize, grapple with uncertainty, and make choices in Beijing and Shanghai in the early 2000s.
From Su Zhe’s perspective, this is the story of how a man goes from a carefree playboy afraid of losing what he has to a mature partner who protects freedom, learning responsibility and courage by loving someone.
From Huang Yimei’s perspective, this is the story of a romantic who puts love above all else, learning to respect boundaries and embrace understanding while remaining true to herself, and turning love into a solid marriage.
Multiple storylines unfold side by side, depicting an ensemble of urban Chinese professionals around the turn of the century. Through their contrasts, the story explores love, marriage, freedom, and the meaning of life.
It's quite interesting, but I feel like it can be ended. The future of the male protagonist and the female protagonist is stumbling, and there are heartwarming misunderstandings. What follows is their warm daily life, a bit ordinary happiness, life can be like this, but the novel is not very good, so I can't stand it anymore, and I think it can end.
For the time being, the novel is quite good. The subject matter is novel, the characters are delicately and realistically drawn, and the plot is full of ups and downs. It's worth a read! I hope the author can maintain the same level, don't stop updating, and will always support!
The writing is okay, but I always feel that the context is not connected in some places. I will talk about this thing in the North Pole later, and then I will talk about that thing in the Antarctic.
There is not much reality between men and women Aries. Rose is more like Sagittarius, like a handful of sand: if you squeeze it too tightly, it will flow faster.
Just for advice, everyone is welcome to leave a message.
It makes people patiently read it, the writing is very good and the characters are well drawn.
How could the male protagonist stumble if he is so capable?
I feel like it was written very carefully and the writing style is really good. I should have checked a lot of information.
A little sweet, super pretty
It looks good and the writing is good, but it's not suitable for this platform.
