It's really nice to see Wen Neng like this in 2007. It's really not bad. I was only five years old at that time^~^
Giao! Stupid dad and smart mom will stay together forever!
Very nice. It's great to turn a thousand words into one sentence
The relationship between the male and female protagonists in this article is quite good, but there are too many problems with the portrayal of the second male lead and the female protagonist's father. Why does the female protagonist have to follow the male lead to go to a poor university just because she can go to the best university? Is there no other university in a city? Or is it not that transportation was inconvenient in ancient times, so falling in love had to be in the same school? What about long-distance relationships? No normal person would be able to give up their future for the sake of falling in love. In the end, the second male protagonist went to a better place by himself, and the female protagonist just muddle along like this? The second male lead is also weird. He doesn't do well in the exam and can't retake it? If you think you are talented but don't want to go abroad, why can't you apply for a scholarship by yourself? With his results, it's not that difficult. Do you have to betray yourself and betray the heroine just to go abroad? The family also advised the heroine to let go. Even if she didn't have a partner, a normal person wouldn't advise her child to be with someone she doesn't like. Not only is it morally unjustifiable in terms of self-esteem, but who would trade a lifetime relationship for the opportunity to study abroad? The moral bottom line of the second male character has been exceeded, which is tantamount to betraying one's trust and selling oneself for glory. Wearing a high hat for the sake of getting ahead in the future will cover up his incompetence, vanity, despicableness and hypocrisy? He asked the heroine to wait for him before going abroad. What does this mean? He wants to use the second heroine to make the heroine a backup? It is simply shameless to want both. When I was abroad, I wanted to compromise again and live a good life with the second female lead. At this time, I didn't think about waiting for the female lead. She was a cowardly and selfish person. In the end, the second female lead let her go. Therefore, the second male lead is passive from the beginning to the end. He never pays anything for the female lead, nor does he fight for the female lead. If there is a second female lead, he will try to get along with the second female lead. If the second female lead takes the initiative to give up, he will cower and wait for the female lead's forgiveness before trying to reconcile, treating others as his own choices, as if he can just bow his head and surrender to the hurt. The author uses a calm writing style to downplay their shortcomings, as if they are not a big deal. However, these plots would probably explode when applied to the protagonists of other novels, and even scumbags are not enough to summarize. The heroine also seems to not care anymore and is used to everyone leaving her, but this is actually an avoidant personality, using her ease and ease to cover up her fear of disappointment. If someone else makes a mistake, you should either punish and retaliate against the other person. At the same time, it is best to arm yourself and strengthen yourself. You should not let the other person go but hurt yourself when you are hurt. Closing one's heart and giving up hope on others is one of the sequelae of injury. Instead of forgetting the hurt and gaining real growth, the heroine took another path of self-deception, which is likely to lead her further and further away from happiness. Fortunately, she met a hero who walked into the heroine's heart. The heroine's father's part is even more logically confusing. He has done something wrong by having an affair and having a child. Instead of trying to make up for his wife, he chooses one of the two. If the child is sick and helps to treat it, why should he insist on divorce? If the younger daughter wants to take care of the older daughter, then she can let go? After more than ten years of relationship, just throw away the responsibilities of being a father and a husband? If you give up your wife and daughter and choose an extramarital affair partner because the other person is weaker, what about the emotional responsibility? The other woman knew that the other woman had a family but still had a relationship with the heroine's father. She was related by blood and still had to give birth to a child. She couldn't afford it and came back for help. She seemed to have no choice but did all the disgusting things of breaking up the other woman's family. In the end, didn't she accept the choice of the heroine's father with peace of mind? Anyone with a conscience would tell her not to divorce and only accept financial help. In the end, she lived a happy and prosperous life. The heroine's father has been away for more than ten years and has not cared about his eldest daughter and has not compensated his wife and daughter. Doesn't he miss his daughter and feel guilty? Or when he had a successful career and made a fortune, and when he saw his younger daughter living a wealthy life and enjoying the love of her parents, didn't he think about the eldest daughter who lacked a father and a wealthy life? After all, the second male lead can sell his body to study abroad. It is estimated that the female protagonist's stepfather's conditions are average. Now I can't even recognize him when I see him again, and he doesn't apologize to make up for it. He talks about the past as if it was fate's fault that he had nothing to do about it. He really knows how to shirk responsibility. The youngest daughter appears as a company heir to a rich family, while the heroine is working as a worker. Can't the heroine's father see this difference and think that the illegitimate daughter will occupy the magpie's nest? If she doesn't get to know the heroine, all the company property will be inherited by the youngest daughter. This different attitude towards the two daughters makes the reader most uncomfortable. He is not worried about the scarcity but the inequality. What is more worrying than being indifferent is that he can be good to others but fails to do so to himself. This is so hurtful. The most contradictory thing about the character is that you wouldn't say anything if he was a bad person, but the author portrays the father as a responsible and normal person, and he is so kind to his little daughter. Doesn't this make sense? Looking at the comments section, there are many people who understand the heroine's father. I really don't know what to say. Everyone's requirements for some people are as low as individuals. The most speechless thing is that the heroine can still love each other without resentment towards her father and her half-sister, who broke up the family and made her mother sad. Is this reasonable? The father who cheated on his mother and his own father, chose to give up on him, the father who has not fulfilled his responsibilities for more than ten years and never showed up, the father who has lived a wealthy life and has never found his daughter, the father who cannot recognize his daughter when meeting him, the father who cherishes another daughter like a treasure, the father who only responds indifferently and lets go of everything when meeting... It is really unreasonable to be able to avoid resentment in this way.
Nice! Finished reading it in one sitting!
I came here after reading the recommendation. The article written so many years ago is still so good!
It's plain and simple, and I also like the heroine character very much.
This novel is what introduced me to Gao Qianwen. You really like it. This novel is also quite good. I read it again and again from time to time. Personally, I like this kind of heroine better.
It's a really good story. It's a pity that the author stopped writing it.
I like this novel very much and have read it countless times
