   I really like this book, He Huai'an x Jiang Jiting x He Zhu. The writing is also quite good [a masterpiece by Que Shi]. The male and female leads are both strong, but they don't feel aloof or distant. Instead, the family of three feels very real and relatable. The changes in the romantic and familial relationships aren't abrupt; they develop gradually with the plot. The system is also barely noticeable and doesn't interfere with the storyline—it's great! Another great thing is that they didn't force a romantic pairing for He Zhu. When the original female lead appeared and connected with He Zhu, I was afraid the author would pair them up. It's not that I have a problem with the original female lead, but I don't like that kind of plot arrangement. Fortunately, the author didn't write it that way, nor did they force the lives of the original male and female leads into the daily life of this family of three; they just touched on it lightly [I also highly recommend it]. However, I still couldn't understand He Pingyi's actions at the end. I think she was selfish. Even if it's her own brother, he has no obligation to "clean up" her mess, especially since the male lead was only 17 at the time…

    The author skillfully controlled the unexpected plot twists and ending. The gist is: the lives of twins become intertwined with various people and events. The male and female leads marry first and then fall in love. The male lead has more romantic feelings, while the female lead, being more rational and calm, doesn't outwardly express her love for the male lead but genuinely cares for him and their children.
