    Finally, we have a female lead who isn't naive and overly simplistic, nor a saintly figure, and who actually has brains! Sun Jia's fight back against workplace bullying is a truly satisfying read; her line, "A kind person is often bullied, a good horse is often ridden," speaks to the hearts of so many working-class people. She filed for divorce not out of spite, but for her dignity—such clarity and backbone are so rare in romance novels. Moreover, she's not just all domineering; she also has vulnerability and tenderness, making her a very well-rounded character. I hope the author will write more about her interactions with her students; the piano teacher setting is very appealing.
