   [Laughs][Laughs][Laughs] This is a novel worth thinking about. This is a novel that examines human nature. After reading this, I wanted to see a psychiatrist. The heroine was dealt a bad hand in life, and with her own disdain and hard work, she turned to the sun and played the bad hand to win. She is clear about her career goals as a psychologist and is still rational in her choice of husband. The heroine is a very smart woman. With her management of career and marriage, it is difficult for her to think well. Her husband's tolerance and understanding not only reduce the harm to herself, but also help unite the family. The male protagonist is a man of great wisdom. The hero's mother turned out to be a sensible person. In one case, Da Fang caused herself to have scars all over her body. Psychological problems caused physical illness. I really think she did it, but there is such a person in the family. Until now, she is almost 80 years old. She still lifts her shirt on every possible occasion to show others the scars all over her body, like a medal for winning a prize. Bi Shumin is worthy of being a great author. The writing style is really good and the plot design is also very thoughtful. Reading this novel is like a detective story and makes people reluctant to skip a chapter. Very recommendable!
