    Reader note

    I highly recommend this amazing novel! It's so addictive, and the female lead's name is Hua Er (华尔), which sounds like "Walmart" in Chinese. Hua Er is a feminist icon who, after transmigrating, teaches a lesson to families that favor sons over daughters, making them suffer terribly (and even after severing ties, she doesn't let them get away with it). 1. Hua Er's classic line: "You say I'm a money-loser? Well, I'll show you!" (She flips the table if they don't feed her, and when her brother gets married, she demands money and even takes his sewing machine.) 2. Her attitude towards men: She's the dominant one; if she's unhappy, she can get out. (When her first boyfriend's mother comes to break up with him, angering Hua Er, she teaches her a lesson and even persuades her son to come to her house.) 3. As the "Women's Director": When she sees cases of son preference, she really takes action; she's the chosen Women's Director. P. S.: 1. My words are inadequate to describe even a fraction of how good this novel is! You can tell how good it is just from the fact that I stayed up all night to finish it! 2. Sisters who think it's good, please give the author a five-star review and recommend the book. Recently, the author's traffic has been low and there's been no motivation to write (it's killing me [crying][crying][crying][crying])
