The Tide Has Deceived Me for Years

If you only look at the surface, it looks like a high-concentration sadomasochism plot; but as you follow the characters, you will find that there is deep growth hidden inside. Zhou Qiming did not escape responsibility just because time passed. Legal sanctions many years later put the most necessary finishing touch on Lin's father's old case. It is not that the male protagonist uses his capital to seek revenge in private, nor is it that the female protagonist ends with a word of relief, but rather lets the evidence and the law speak for themselves. The most relieving part of this ending is that it acknowledges that justice may be late, but being late does not mean it may not come. Lin Bailan could finally stand in front of her father's name and say, the truth has been seen, you did not die silently. The author keeps the focus very stable, and does not turn the judicial process into a universal plug-in. Instead, the reporter's investigation, recording evidence, police advancement and character testimony jointly spell out the result, and the group portraits all play a role. For readers who like villains to pay a clear price but don't want to see the protagonist's illegal revenge, this line is very enjoyable. Being able to express true feelings in a gory setting and express sweetness in a measured way is enough for me to recommend it to my book friends. Many similar themes tend to lose the main thread in the second half, but this one has been centered around choice, responsibility and staying. Come on! ! !

"The Tide Has Bullied Me for Years" begins with "I was knocked unconscious by a volleyball when I jumped into the sea to die", which is full of the ultimate sense of fate and BE aesthetics. The male protagonist, Han Yiran, appears to be the school sweetheart on the high mountain, but in fact he is a paranoid hunter who keeps pace with every step. The "well-planned love at first sight" seven years ago had both the warmth of redemption and the hidden edge of possessiveness. The heroine Lin Bailan's sense of fragmentation and self-defeating inner monologue make the growth line delicate and moving. Chasing his wife in the crematorium after the reunion is not only an emotional explosion, but also the final chapter of self-redemption for the two.

It is really difficult to remain indifferent after reading this. The regrets, secrets and grievances buried in the previous article are all revealed at once. Lin Bailan started making jewelry again, not just to open a company, but to find herself who was suppressed by family tragedy and emotional trauma. She started step by step from design drafts, material selection, and customer communication. The reputation of the studio was not created by the male protagonist spending money. When foreign awards fell into her hands one after another, I really felt proud that "my daughter has finally made it through." Her works carry images such as ocean tides, old auditoriums, and lost and found images. The career line and the emotional line echo each other, giving a sense of completeness. The most praiseworthy thing is that her success involves a process, professional details, and failures and choices. Han Yiran provides resources, but the person who determines the value of the work is always Lin Bailan herself. Readers who like the heroine to have a career, aesthetics, and independent growth arc will definitely fall in love with the second half. To me, this is the best state of romance: even if the heart is broken, the characters have not lost their dignity and logic. In addition to the high-energy plot, the small details of handing out water, waiting for news, and silent companionship are the easiest to poke people.

After the truth of the old case was revealed, Lin Bailan's feelings for Han Yiran did not automatically cover the damage. She will be shaken and distressed, but she still needs time to confirm whether she can re-establish a relationship with a family related to her father's tragedy. I especially liked that she wasn't kidnapped by "he's in pain too". Han Yiran's pain is understandable, but Lin Bailan's boundaries are also inviolable. Her hesitation is not pretentious, but responsible for her father and her own life. The most mature part of this sadistic relationship is that both parties admit that love cannot offset responsibility. Only when the truth is told, an apology truly occurs, and actions are consistently fulfilled can their reconciliation be anything other than a betrayal of trauma. I don't like the heroine being coaxed back with a few words. Readers who care about emotional logic will praise Lin Bailan's sobriety. Being able to express true feelings in a gory setting and express parting in a measured way is enough for me to recommend it to my book friends. Many similar themes tend to lose the main thread in the second half, but this one has been centered around choice, responsibility and staying. I just finished reading it, it's very well written.

If you only look at the surface, it looks like a high-concentration sadomasochism plot; but as you follow the characters, you will find that there is deep growth hidden inside. I was originally worried that the male protagonist going abroad would be written as a cliché and misunderstood, but it turned out that it felt more like powerlessness here. Han Yiran was coerced by his family and left Haicheng, while Lin Bailan was left alone to digest the feeling of being left behind without any explanation. Neither of them really won. Many years later, he came back after becoming famous. The most cruel thing was not to see Zhou Xuyan next to her, but to find that she had learned to manage her own trust. The so-called snatching back does not mean that the little girl left behind has been able to hide her emotions tightly. This kind of belated growth is the most complete crematorium for chasing his wife for Han Yiran. The low profile of the male protagonist in the later stage is therefore very convincing. He didn't suddenly fall in love, but he was repaying the price of not making a choice when he was a teenager. The more shameless he was, the more he regretted the parting. Readers who like to watch the male protagonist belatedly realize the consequences and make crazy compensations as an adult, this book will make you tortured and unable to stop. Being able to express true feelings in a gory setting and express sweetness in a measured way is enough for me to recommend it to my book friends.

The most interesting thing about this book for me is that there is an emotional basis behind each happy point, and it doesn't make people feel that it is just for excitement. Han Yiran returned to the seaside city to look for Lin Bailan, only to find that she had entered a relationship that was about to lead to marriage. This setting made the reunion full of tension. The two of them spoke very politely, but underneath every polite word there was an old feeling that was still lingering. The most heartwarming thing is that they are obviously talking about reality, but their eyes keep speaking for their boyhood. Han Yiran didn't dare to force her, and Lin Bailan didn't dare to admit that she would still waver. The dignity of an adult had become the thinnest layer of paper that could be blown apart by the sea breeze at any time. The author did not rush for the two to get back together, but let old cases, engagements, public opinion and family squeeze their feelings layer by layer. Every time you get close, you have to pay a price, so the hugs and kisses that follow are not sugar-giving tasks, but the real emotional breakthrough. Readers who like tug-of-war, restrained reunions, and adult ambiguity will be struck by this passage. Much like the recently popular American drama "Beyond Campus", the male protagonist is restrained, which is what makes him truly charming. Very well written

The most outstanding thing about this book is the three-dimensional and non-flat character creation of the male and female protagonists. The female protagonist, Lin Bailan, is a cold academic master with a sense of brokenness. She lost her father in her early years and was estranged from her stepmother. She has been trapped by smiling depression all year round. She looks calm and gentle on the outside, but her heart is full of inferiority and pain. The "inner barrage" setting specially designed by the author is the finishing touch. Without a long paragraph of direct complaints, readers can intuitively get a glimpse of her repressed and sensitive spiritual world. She is fragile but unwilling to admit defeat. She struggles to grow into an independent jewelry designer. The character's growth line is complete and healing, and she is not a tool waiting for redemption. Very well written, the type I like!

The most interesting thing about this book for me is that there is an emotional basis behind each happy point, and it doesn't make people feel that it is just for excitement. After Zhou Qiming was sanctioned and Han's father formally apologized, the novel did not continue to rely on old grudges to endlessly drag on, but let Lin Bailan turn the focus of her life back to jewelry design. This turn made me feel like she was finally moving on from her victimhood. Instead of forgetting her father, she decided to continue living with her works. Every award, every client, every piece of jewelry tells the past: You tried to destroy me, but I still have my name. The transition from suspense and accountability to entrepreneurial growth is natural, and it makes the second half sweet but not empty. The male and female protagonists no longer only talk about love but not career, but discuss brands, overseas markets, time allocation and how to live together. Readers who like the story to be clear in the first part and truly enter into growth and healing after the torture will find it more and more relaxing in the second half. After reading it, you will feel that all the pain is not wasted, and they eventually become the characters' steps towards happiness. The text has the unique moist feeling of seaside stories, and the emotions come up layer by layer, making it easy for readers to relate to it.

I read this part twice because it contains both the heartbeat of romance and the weight of reality that adults must face. Han Moran forced his father to face up to the old case and formally apologized to Lin Bailan and Zhou Man. There was no exaggeration in this scene, nor was there a single sentence to wash away the hurt caused over the years. The more restrained you are, the more you see a strong elder finally admitting that he was wrong. The best thing is that Han Moran didn't stand in the middle and fight with each other. He clearly chose Lin Bailan, and also clearly told his father: family dignity cannot be based on the victim shutting up. The true maturity of this man is not how much money he earns, but his courage to tear down the privileges that protect him. It is reasonable for the hatred to end temporarily after apologizing. Lin Bailan does not have to spend the rest of her life in revenge. She can continue to pursue accountability, but she also has the right to turn her energy back to her career and life. It is worth following for readers who like to see boundary forgiveness, adults taking responsibility, and family power being backlashed. I especially like that the story doesn't put a single word of "love" over truth, responsibility, and respect, which is more believable than sweetness. Very well written!

It is really difficult to remain indifferent after reading this. The regrets, secrets and love buried in the previous article are all revealed at once. The marriage contract between Lin Bailan and Zhou Xuyan adds the most realistic obstacle to the reunion of this old love. Han Yiran came back too late and had no right to ask her to wait where she was; Lin Bailan was not someone who could overturn years of life with just "I still love you." The real thing is that Han Yiran did not use his identity as the boss to rob her, but first found out the cause of her father's death, assumed the responsibility of the Han family, and then won her trust little by little. The so-called snatching back does not mean snatching ownership, but putting the right of choice back into Lin Bailan's hands. The more Zhou Xuyan loses control in the later stage, the more he highlights Han Yiran's growth. One wants to use public opinion to trap her back, and the other is willing to let go of the control of the family business and support her. This contrast makes the heroine's final choice very powerful. Readers who don't like mindless robbery, but like high-intensity emotional Shura fields, can read it with confidence. To me, this is the best state of romance: although the heart is full of hatred, the characters have not lost their dignity and logic. In addition to the high-energy plot, the small details of handing out water, waiting for news, and silent companionship are the easiest to poke people. Beautifully written! ! !
