    1. The sour taste of McChicken is incredibly potent, its strength goes without saying. Their relationship was like a barren wasteland, only Xu Yan diligently watered it from beginning to end, finding solace only in the occasional mirage. 2. The parts about pursuing his wife and being discovered by her, and playing with her, are quite heart-wrenching, but otherwise it's alright. (I saw this a long time ago, and forgot what the quote was.) 3. I suggest reading the synopsis first, because if you do, you'll be in a very heart-wrenching situation from the very first chapter. It's like you already know the destined ending, super heart-wrenching, but it's a happy ending. You know what pursuing a wife is like? (Still a fleeting romance) 4. The part where the protagonist is sick and about to die is quite heartbreaking, but it gets better later on, with a very healing fairytale feel. "Brother Meng Shu, see you tomorrow." "Tsundere cat, see you tomorrow." "See you tomorrow is Meng Shu's biggest lie." 5. I really don't want to talk about this anymore. Don't listen to Sister Erha anymore. I'm totally hooked. It's so heartbreaking. "The blood on the steps hasn't dried up yet, that's him taking you home!" 6. Li Shu never took a sex education class.
