Su Yueyue’s parents separated when she was young, and she grew up in the countryside with her grandfather. After he died, she had no one to rely on, so she had no choice but to go to the capital and seek out her parents.
But something happened on the way to the capital, and the journey took her a full three years.
In the capital, her father didn’t care for her and her mother didn’t love her. She was looked down on everywhere and lived in constant fear of making a mistake.
At a banquet in the household, her status was awkward, and she wasn’t allowed to meet the guests in the front courtyard. She could only watch secretly from a corner of the back courtyard. A group of noble young ladies surrounded her, laughing and mocking her. Just as she felt lonely and helpless, a little glutinous rice ball came running over, crying as it tugged at her clothes and called in a soft, sweet voice, “Mother, Mother.”
Su Yueyue: “?” Whose child is this? You’ve got the wrong person.
A group of noble young ladies: What’s going on? Where did this “Mother” come from?
Only later did she learn that it was the young prince of the Eastern Palace, who had once been lucky enough to help her.

Huo Yunhuai fell out with his mother, the Empress Dowager, and was punished by being sent to a remote county to serve as its magistrate. He also resented the marriage his mother had arranged for him, so he married an orphan girl he had picked up.
At first, he thought, “Well, I’ve married her. She looks sweet and obedient, and it’ll annoy Mother. What’s not to like? Even if I return to the palace someday, it’ll just mean one more person in the Eastern Palace. I can keep her in fine clothes and comfort.”
Later, after she gave birth, Huo Yunhuai planned to take her back to the palace.
But when she learned he was returning to marry the Crown Princess and have her raise their child, she fled with the child.
The child was found and brought back, but she never returned. He searched for her like a madman, yet could not find her anywhere.
Later, when they met again, she had forgotten him and was engaged to someone else.
She was as timid as a rabbit around him, speaking in a hesitant, stammering voice: “Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness, but I’m engaged, and... I don’t want to be a stepmother.”
Huo Yunhuai gritted his teeth in anger. That was right: she would rather marry the son of a minor official than spare him a second glance.
Theme: Live bravely and dare to pursue what you want
I think the character development is pretty good, but the heroine's mother seems to me to have some issues that are uncomfortable for me personally. She always said that she was thinking about the heroine, but in fact, she couldn't tell in the timeline before her appearance. She didn't know that the heroine had lost her memory and disappeared for three years. She appeared and said that she didn't have to marry Liu Qingquan. If it weren't for the prince, the heroine would have been married long ago. She must really care about the heroine. It's not like no one is watching her family in Beijing. Can't she send a message or express her attitude during the engagement? I know she is in a hurry to get divorced, but can she really settle the heroine? Even though she knew the stepmother didn't like the heroine, she still stayed in the Su family. Even if you can't find a reason to take the heroine away after the divorce, you can at least keep an old servant to watch over her. It feels like this character's personality was changed later, or he's just a tool for the sake of being a tool, and it's not as well-shaped as other characters' personalities.

The pulling was pretty good in the early stages, but later on, well, it's hard to describe.
The next book is about [Pampering Beauty], the days when a woman disguised herself as a man and acted as a hostage. Everyone is welcome to collect it. The article will be published at the end of December.

What a cute baby
Is the extra episode gone? Woohoo!
Are the tomatoes gone? Woohoo!
Why are the next few chapters repetitive? Isn't this a lie?
I'm really convinced. Why do you let others spend money to buy Chapter 89? I'm speechless.
Like it very much! Big cheers for more updates!
