   [I've learned something] This book is really good. Although the female lead is a daughter-in-law, there's a lot of description of the mother-in-law. Many chapters focus on her separately! The book even dedicates 100 extra chapters to describing the mother-in-law's life. She escapes from a family that favors sons over daughters by stealing money, becomes her first female hunter in a war-torn era, loses her memory after being bombed while saving someone, and has a complicated marriage with her husband. Why is she lazy and why is she diligent? Seriously, some parts of the book make my eyes water. Liang Shengdi is a really great character.

Their conflict is both a clash of lifestyles and a collision of beliefs, bringing more than half a century of women’s awakening into sharp focus. Women born in the 1930s are stubbornly set in their ways; those born in the 1960s are half-awake and half-entrenched; while the post-1995 generation wholeheartedly embraces pleasure, putting themselves entirely above 1.2kReads9.6Score16514d adds

    My husband's family has been a bunch of pushovers for generations, suffering mistreatment since the Republican era. My in-laws have spent their lives enduring humiliation, mild-mannered, always backing down, making them easy targets for everyone in the village. Until I married into the family. From a young age, I've never been one to suffer in silence or be mistreated. On my wedding day, I stormed off a neighbor who tried to take advantage of me and stood up to a domineering elder. The shrew next door, who constantly occupied territory and caused trouble, I confronted her directly, protecting my in-laws and husband. At the Mid-Autumn Festival clan gathering, when relatives deliberately made things difficult, I overturned the table to establish my authority, no longer allowing myself to be manipulated. The Lin family, humiliated for three generations, finally welcomed a powerful figure to back them up. [Feeling wronged]

    This book is truly amazing! It's not a wish-fulfillment story, but a heartwarming one. The mother-in-law, after being reborn, tries to break up her son and daughter-in-law, but ends up getting herself involved. Cheng Qi is my favorite female lead this year—a career-driven, clear-headed character. After reading it, I felt like starting a new life. The ending, "Harmony in the family brings prosperity," made me cry buckets. It's already finished, so go for it!
