   Highlights: 1. Both Lin Jingyue and Jiang Xun are vengeful, not overly sentimental, and not verbose. 2. The characters' good and evil aren't purely pure. For example, Sun Lanlan and Wang Xueping initially showed malice but later repented and changed. Li Cuihua initially feigned innocence but later revealed her ugly side. However, evil people are always punished by evil people. The marriage between Lin Xinjian and his wife is also very satisfying. Zhou Yan's weakness led to his deserved ending, which I also enjoyed. If you don't have the right to decide your own feelings, you have to have this kind of ending, even though I liked him a lot during the educated youth period. Human weaknesses are unavoidable, but many characters in the story also have goodness in their hearts. 3. The suitors of both the female and male leads are extremely tactful, which is very admirable. 4. Both the modern Lin Jingyue and the original Lin Jingyue are free-spirited and loving people, both wonderful female characters. 5. Many novels use the "golden finger" trope, where characters confess their feelings after they've reached a mutual understanding. I don't comment on how bad it is, but I personally like this kind of trope. Having some secrets is good; until the very end, only the female lead knows. Jiang Xun knew his lover had a secret, but he didn't investigate; all he wanted was Lin Jingyue. 6: I will repay those who harm me tenfold, and I will love those who love me a hundredfold. Both Lin and Jiang are good people who dare to love and hate. Warning: The Xie Yunzheng in the side story is different from the wife in the main story. The Nanxing in the side story can be ignored. Excluding the Xie Yunzheng in the side story, I'd give him 100 points!
