Realistic, slow-burn storytelling, domestic squabbles, conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. This is not a female-power fantasy, and the story is told solely from the daughter-in-law’s perspective. None of the characters are perfect, so read with that in mind!
An Xiufen, a mother-in-law who cries over her late husband at the drop of a hat; Ding Pengfei, a husband who goes soft whenever his late father is mentioned; and Yu Youyou, a short-tempered daughter-in-law prone to overthinking. After one bite of the extra-spicy postpartum meal her mother-in-law prepared with such care, Yu Youyou decides to stand up to her. If this marriage can work, they’ll make it work. If it can’t, they’ll divorce!
I finally waited until the author published a new book. I like the author's writing style.
