   Let's talk objectively about my thoughts on "the second female lead doesn't love herself". Many people criticize the second female lead because she has "no self-love" because she has had sexual intercourse and even had an abortion. But I want to ask three questions: First, what is the definition of "self-love"? If self-love means respecting one's own feelings and being responsible for one's own choices, then the second female lead gave herself up because she truly liked her boyfriend and longed to be together for a long time. This was exactly what she considered "responsible for oneself" at the time. Her mistake was that she didn't recognize people well, but being unclear about people is a common predicament of human beings, not the original sin of women. Who can guarantee that you can completely see through a person in just a few months of dating? Second, is it fair to use results to infer behavior? Because she later met a scumbag and was hurt, she accused her of "not loving herself" for her efforts - which is equivalent to saying: because you didn't do well in the exam, it was wrong for you to study hard in the first place. The value of life never lies in perfect results, but in whether you are sincere and brave in every moment. She truly loved her at that moment, and that was enough. Third, why do men and women have completely different standards for the same thing? If a male character has extensive love experience, the comment section will usually praise him as "charming" and "experienced"; while a female character with similar experiences will be labeled as "not self-loving" and "contemptuous". This kind of double standard is essentially caused by the thousands of years of outdated concepts that "chastity only belongs to women". Finally, I want to say: To judge whether a person is worthy of being loved, one should look at her character, kindness, and sense of responsibility, not whether she has had sex. Measuring a person's value by whether he is "pure" is not only crude, but also absurd - it reduces a person to a record of the use of an organ. The second female lead doesn't need to be worthy of anyone, she just needs to be worthy of herself.

   It is a book that belongs to the slow-burning ceiling. The pace is not fast, but the writing is delicate and closer to real life. There are no bloody conflicts or misunderstandings, it is born from a strong emotional core. The dual-perspective narrative at the beginning is told by the male and female protagonists in the first person respectively, which may dissuade some readers, but the writing style is really good. Keep reading to catch up with the latest chapters. It is a novel suitable for calming down and reading. It is about family, the past, emotional growth and inner redemption.

    Reader note

    This new book is very "weird". From the name, I thought it was a cliché house fight, but it turned out to be a decisive and lonely fight against feudalism. The heroine is a concubine who traveled through time, but she devoted all her efforts to running a school for girls, resisting the current abuses, and creating a way for thousands of girls to live in the cannibalistic ethics. The plot is very solidly written, with clever twists and turns. The poems are not embellishments, but the character and the charm of the Red Mansion. There is very little ink about the relationship between men and women, but it is full of "unwritten writing", which is profound to the bones. The writing style is calm and readable, with great stamina. It is not a refreshing article and is suitable for readers who are willing to think.

    Tomato Boutique Jinjiang Flavor The ceiling of sadomasochism in the Republic of China "Butterfly Shadow Returns to Dust"|She gave birth to a son to her enemy, but the son was not the enemy's biological son. This is not a fast food novel, nor is it an industrial saccharine. This is a novel about the abuse of the Republic of China that needs to be read carefully - time difference, love that cannot be found, and the ultimate BE aesthetics. A book that reaches the pinnacle of sadomasochism in the Republic of China. She has changed six identities in her life, but only one name will belong to her until death. Lin Die'er, a fifteen-year-old daughter of a famous family, was forced to marry a strange man who was dark and rough. On her wedding night, she swore in tears that she would rather die than obey. Later, when he kept silent for four months and shielded her from being slapped, his hoarse "Does it hurt?" Moved her unconsciously. But she had just gathered up the courage to tell him "I am pregnant with your child" - her mother-in-law sold her to her husband's illegitimate half-child for profit. The man imprisoned her in another courtyard and tortured her day and night to make her give birth to an heir for him. Little did he know, she was hiding a secret. Later she actually gave birth to a son for him. The son is not his biological son. She gritted her teeth and survived, just to let him raise children for her enemy for the rest of her life. From the daughter of a famous family to the young wife of the Zhang family. From a prisoner in a deep house to a prostitute in a brothel. From Japanese spies to ghosts who take the gun for others. In this life, I changed my identity six times and had three names in total. Only the three words "Lin Die'er" belong to her until death. He spent his entire life waiting for her to fall, but it was too late for her to look back. Ten years later, when they met again on the street, his temples were white with frost, and he recognized her at a glance. Cowhide bags were scattered on the floor, and more than a dozen silver butterfly hairpins rolled down the bluestone slab. But she coldly withdrew her hand and said in unfamiliar Japanese: "Sir, you have recognized the wrong person." Turning the corner, she leaned against the cold wall, covered her mouth, and cried silently. He didn't know until his death that the child named Yi'an he held in Xiao's house was his and her only son. She never knew until her death who she loved most in her life. The romance in the world cannot last forever, the butterfly shadow returns to dust, and there is no time to return. She loved him, but she gave her life to another person who saved her from the abyss. My life is back, but my heart can't be taken back. Although the flowers bloom again, love is destined to never be reunited. Reasons for recommendation · It is not torture for the sake of torture, behind every regret there is the mark of the times and the driving force of destiny · The characters are three-dimensional and full, there are no pure good guys or bad guys, only living beings who can't help themselves in troubled times · The writing is delicate and restrained, the emotions are progressive, and the stamina is great · The background of the Republic of China × multiple identities × misplaced time difference × the righteousness of family and country, the pattern is far beyond ordinary romance If you prefer deep affection and extreme regret, this book will not let you down. After finishing the book, it's hard to calm down.
