    Reader note

    Well, to be honest 🤔 I still feel a bit uneasy after finishing it 😮‍💨 I skipped some chapters. In the early episodes, the male lead and his family were all clueless. The male lead's parents initially wanted to continue the marriage because they heard gossip about his younger brother and widowed sister-in-law. They should have dealt with the wedding incident seriously from the start, but instead chose to smooth things over. They might also have known the female lead was soft-hearted and alone in the southwest, so they didn't value her. In some choices, they knew it was unfair to her, but still chose to wrong her because she was a widow and her child. That's why the male lead didn't choose the female lead when he was about to return to Shanghai, instead focusing on his sister-in-law's remarriage. He clearly knew the female lead would be hurt and cry, but he still chose his sister-in-law. Later, the male lead wasn't too heartbroken, and the female lead quickly forgave him, though she didn't return to the southwest for several years… Later, the male lead changed and became a very good person, a good partner, and a good father… (I like happy endings). This book is quite good, but perhaps the male lead's suffering wasn't intense enough, and the relatively short length of the story made it less enjoyable to read. ｡°(°¯᷄◠¯᷅°)°｡) [The female lead is excellent and insightful; she's someone who strives to live a good life regardless of circumstances, and she wouldn't give up her studies or career for family or children. The only slight flaw is that she has feelings for the male lead and is a bit soft-hearted towards him.]

    Ye Qingzhi always kept one thing in her spatial storage—a switchblade, the one she used against her brother-in-law that day. She didn't throw it away, nor did she use it again. She kept it at the very back of her storage space, occasionally taking it out to look at it. Not for self-defense, but to remind herself: some nightmares, once awakened, don't need to be relived. She now had He Shaoyan, her daughter, and a small family compound—that was enough.
