[Marriage first, love later + six-year age gap + gentle, slow-burn everyday romance]
In her twenty-five years of life, Mu Yunci has three principles:
Never accept unfair treatment, never settle, never force things.
So accepting her half-sister's dying wish and agreeing to marry her “brother-in-law” is entirely Mu Yunci's choice.
After the wedding, she does her best to stick to her principles:
A tutor who emotionally manipulates her young nephew? Beat him up!
A wicked stepmother and stepsister? Beat them up!
Her biological father, who trades her for business interests? Beat him up!
Mu Yunci doesn't just know how to talk sense; she also knows a few moves.
It's just that this “brother-in-law” is a little strange.
When she goes to beat someone up, he hands her a weapon.
When she puts on an act, he plays along.
Whatever she does, he says it's fine.
Until Mu Yunci discovers that this “brother-in-law” isn't her brother-in-law at all!
In his thirties, Fu Siheng feels indifferent about everything.
He agreed to marry her to compensate the Mu family.
But he never expected his new wife to become the greatest surprise of his life.
Everything she does amuses him.
Beating people up, cursing, acting cute, putting on a show: she is adorable in every way.
Mu Yunci: We're all living for the first time. Why should I let you have your way?
Fu Siheng:
She came into my life.
Whatever I have, I'll give to her.
The storyline is rich in layers and the missions have distinct characters. The heroine is sober and independent, and it's very satisfying to fight the bad guys directly.
It would be great if it were true in (If Love). Mu Yunshu and Fu Jinyu would not end in such a tragic ending. If both men and women had spoken out, the ending would have been beautiful [I almost cried]
