The Song of the Pipa

Promise me the male lead will go completely crazy later on, okay? He'll be head over heels in love, okay? 🤩 The build-up is already at its peak! Now for the big climax! 🎉

I just ask that the descriptions of the female lead's feelings of inferiority and unworthiness towards the male lead be stopped in detail later on. I came to see the female lead's transformation and growth, not to see her constantly feeling inferior and infatuated with the male lead while he remained subtly pretentious.

Because of her mother's situation, even the most self-assured person like Meizi harbors deep-seated inferiority complexes. Add to that the toxic nature of her family. The fact that she didn't turn out badly is thanks to her mother's strong will and the way she instilled normal values ​​in her. Given the historical context, choices cannot be judged solely by contemporary standards.

I didn't find the comments about the male lead lowering his status or the female lead being ungrateful to be said to be ungrateful. However, the way the male lead admires the female lead in this chapter is really awkward. This kind of appreciation based on the female lead not becoming a concubine is so cliché. The characters of both the male and female leads are strange and feel mismatched.

Isn't the female lead from a wealthy family? Why did they marry her off to a butcher? It gives off a very low-class vibe, as if they're desperate for money. The female lead is so beautiful, why didn't her father consider marrying her off to an official family instead of a butcher in order to climb the social ladder?

I hope the female lead will realize the gap between herself and the male lead from this point on and stop trying to get closer to him. I really don't want to read any more stories about spoiled wives anymore. 🙏

[Laughing and crying with facepalm][Messing][Messing] This is clearly from the female lead's perspective, and she might be a butcher tomorrow, yet people are still concerned about the male lead's feelings. So the female lead is just a foil for the male lead, a world that loves men.

Why would anyone say the male lead intervened? Looking at the earlier setup, it's clearly the female lead saving herself.

This scheme requires someone with deep knowledge of officialdom and considerable financial resources—not just a few hundred taels of silver, but a hundred taels of gold. Meimei is merely a sheltered young woman; besides Wang Jie, it's hard to imagine anyone else capable of orchestrating such a grand scheme. It's likely that in the end, not only will the one surnamed Ding be implicated, but the one surnamed Fang will also be unable to escape.

I feel that the undeniable gap and contradictions in reality have forced both the male and female leads to take a step back at this stage. Only by facing these contradictions head-on can they truly be together. The male lead approached the female lead for the first time, but seeing her family's low social standing and her own avoidance of the situation, and realizing their feelings weren't deep…
