    Reader note

    I've been reading this novel day and night, sharing the characters' anxieties and worries. The plot is quite good, not clichéd, with both realistic and idealistic elements. Who will compromise first, and how will the two of them break free from this predicament? Jiang Qi's anxieties include sacrificing her career to enter another cage, dealing with a mother-in-law who dislikes her, a sister-in-law who despises her, and the scheming members of the Huo family—all suffocating pressures piled up like mountains. Marrying Huo would inevitably lead to a breakdown. Jiang Qi's career demands—filming kissing scenes, socializing, and promoting on-screen couples—will also inevitably become the trigger for future arguments. Having grown up in hardship, Jiang Qi plans for herself, persists in her career, and refuses to compromise for marriage. Even after experiencing repeated attempts to harm her by the Huo family, and despite the excruciating heartache and post-breakup depression, she remains strong, wanting to rely on herself. But facing setbacks at every turn in her career, and even being forced into social engagements, Jiang Qi finally realized that Huo had protected her very well. Without Huo, she would be nothing more than a fish on the chopping block in the entertainment industry, completely at the mercy of others, unable to move an inch. She had her own pride and strength, but she had to bow to reality. Fortunately, Huo was a good person. Facing pressure from his domineering mother to arrange blind dates, his grandfather's division of assets, the madness of his first love, the company's operations, and the family's honor, nothing compared to the period after his breakup with Jiang. From Huo's perspective, being with Jiang Qi was actually a form of self-indulgence under worldly pressures, a desire for possession, protection, and fulfillment. But his compromise after the breakup, respecting Jiang Qi's decision not to give up her career after marriage, showed that Huo was beginning to truly love and respect her. The story doesn't go on, but such a family inevitably brings many troubles. One can only deal with things as they come. Hopefully, there will be fewer misunderstandings and more honesty between the two sides, preventing malicious people from taking advantage. But life is often unsatisfactory, and even if things don't go as planned, we still wish them well. The End.
