Meng Tiao married Meng Yu, the prefect, and they lived together with mutual respect and courtesy.
No one knew that they had an agreement in private: she would help him gain power, and he would help her make money. They would keep feelings out of it.
Meng Tiao kept her feelings to herself. Fine, no feelings, then. Making money came first.
But the very thing she feared soon came to pass. She heard that a powerful official was going to punish corrupt officials.
Just then, Meng Yu brought home a pretty young concubine with a delicate face. He treated her tenderly, his eyes full of affection, and whispered to her beneath the lamplight, "She and I are only husband and wife in name. It doesn't count."
Meng Tiao stood outside the window for a long time, her heart turning cold. She recalled an old saying: A married couple is like two birds in the same forest, but when disaster strikes, they each fly off on their own.
She decided to spread her wings and fly first.
Meng Yu had always thought that he and Meng Tiao were less husband and wife than co-conspirators.
He never imagined that one day his calculating wife would stand beside another man, dressed simply and naturally, dimples appearing in her smiling cheeks, her whole being alight with unrestrained joy.
At that moment, tears welled in his eyes, and his heart burned to ash.

The man was named Dong Mo. He was powerful and difficult to approach, as cold as the moon hanging over a frost-covered forest. Meng Tiao had gone to great lengths to deceive him, and at last used him to bring her husband to ruin.
She knew that no one who tried to play tricks in front of him came to a good end, so she kept smiling and flattering him at every turn.
Then one night, she heard he was going to marry. She hurried to put on makeup and powder, blinking her watery eyes as she offered him a cup of hot tea. "You're taking a wife. Keeping me around will only get in your way. Why not let me go? Out of sight, out of mind."
Dong Mo casually pulled her a little closer. His thumb playfully stroked her lower lip. "In my way? Having you here for me to torment whenever I please is so much fun."
"You used me to deal with him. Now it's time you paid me back."
Meng Tiao glared at him fiercely, then sank her teeth into his finger!
The faint, sweet sting made him want to lose his temper, but when he lowered his head, he found himself smiling.
What calculating schemer? The little thing in his arms was just a spiteful kitten, raising her sharp little claws because she'd been hurt.

Yue Zhen had to wait until she was twenty to marry.
But on her wedding night, her husband, said to be a handsome and dashing man, tripped over the threshold, struck his head on the corner of a table, and died young.
That same year, Yue Zhen became a widow.
After the period of mourning had passed, Yue Zhen began planning how to gently tell her mother-in-law that she wanted to remarry. Who could have known her mother-in-law would outmaneuver her and petition the court to grant her a chaste widow's memorial arch?
Yue Zhen gritted her teeth in bitter hatred.
Yue Zhen was nowhere near as "chaste" as her name suggested. Lately, she'd had her eye on the young monk who had conducted the funeral rites for her husband. As luck would have it, her father-in-law passed away, and that same monk came to the house to conduct the rites.
His features had grown ever more refined, his elegance seeming to recede into the distance...
That night, Yue Zhen, dressed in mourning white, pretended to be shy as she held out a bowl of pig's head meat to the monk. "Young Master, you've been performing rites all day. You must be hungry, right?"
Liao Ji's gaze was cold and clear. He glanced at her. "Do not disturb my Zen heart."
Yue Zhen's guilty heart leaped. You were the one who stirred my heart!
(2)
Liao Ji came from a distinguished family. But after suffering a serious illness as a child, he renounced the world and entered a monastery to escape his tribulation.
He believed that he had spent his whole life free of desire and beyond the mortal world, until the little widow copying scriptures suddenly collapsed onto her desk.
With a thud, something stirred in his heart.
The lamplight fell across the little widow's cheek. Her pert nose seemed to draw a line inside Liao Ji's chest, giving his tranquil heart a long, unbroken rhythm.
As if possessed, he bent down, wanting to kiss her.
But the little widow suddenly opened her eyes, bright with triumphant delight.
Caught red-handed, Liao Ji still couldn't stop himself from kissing her. He bit her lip and said angrily, "You are the one who disturbed my Zen heart."

Completed works: Raising a Calamity, Auntie's Allure, Seducing the Official
Theme: One may try to deceive oneself, but who can say love and hate do not coexist?
Liu Chaoru was not so innocent when he was poisoned, because he ruined the lives of Meng Li and Meiqing. He liked Mengli but did not dare to marry her because of his reputation, but he tried every means to get Mengli. He wanted to love but did not dare to love but dared to use his power to ruin Mengli's love. Due to the world's circumstances, he did not dare to face his true heart like a normal scholar but dared to frame Chang Xiucai. He clearly didn't like Mei Qing but asked to marry her, which made Mei Qing think that she had escaped from the fire pit but was actually another fire pit. He harmed three people and ruined two people. Only Chang Xiucai could still have a happy life even with a bad reputation, because men in ancient times had it easier than women, but Mengli and Mei Qing had no way to escape Liu Chaoru.
At first, I thought Liu Chaoru was innocent. But after looking at Mengli's perspective, I feel that he is not actually that innocent. Also in love with Mengli, Chang Xiucai was determined not to fool the world by marrying Mengli's daughter Mei Qing. He would rather risk being looked down upon by others and pursue Mengli wholeheartedly. He never harmed anyone and never deceived his true heart. But Liu Chaoru, a good person in the eyes of the world, first used his power to deliberately frame his love rival Chang Xiucai to force Mengli to give up Chang Xiucai, ruining Mengli's chance of budding happiness (obviously in the eyes of the world, the ugly relationship of money transactions was the true love between Chang Xiucai and Mengli), and then he defrauded Mei Qing into marrying her but refused to fulfill her husband's basic obligations (such as affection, love, and housekeeping), ruining Mei Qing's life. The article shows many times that Mei Qing still wanted to turn back despite being manipulated by Meng Li to cheat on her. Mei Qing tried every means to leave the Meng Mansion and get married in order to turn around and never waste her life by doing immortal dance again. Unfortunately, Mei Qing's chance to break away from her family and turn around was ruined by Liu Chaoru, a husband who only wanted to marry a tool to get close to Mei Qing's mother. There are indeed many despicable things about Mei Qing, but if Liu Chaoru hadn't married her but not taken care of her as his wife, and at the same time tried every means to bring Mengli, the mother-in-law who was used to controlling Mei Qing's life, into his home, Mei Qing would not have gone astray again and again. If Liu Chaoru's indifference and Mengli's PUA are explosives that are constantly being buried, then the discovery of Liu Chaoru and Mengli's adultery is the fuse. Mei Qing's killing of Liu Chaoru and Mengli is actually very normal and reasonable (it makes people applaud). Some people may think that Liu Chaoru did not have the same relationship with Mengli. At most, he cheated emotionally rather than physically. He seemed to have tried his best to restrain himself, which seemed very innocent. However, if you think about it carefully, he ruined Mengli's love first, so Mengli was empty and lonely and could only fill the void by running her old business (Mengli clearly had no shortage of money, but later she kept pulling Meiqing to perform fairy dances, which looked like a money man). Mengli was stabbed but she said she didn't blame Mei Qing (Obviously Mengli knew that she was deliberately hurting Mei Qing). Maybe she did the fairy dance in revenge for Liu Chaoru's harm to Chang Xiucai, and later ruined Mei Qing's life (Mengli and Meiqing had been doing the fairy dance behind her back. Liu Chaoru was reminded several times to take care of the housekeeper but deliberately ignored it, letting Mei Qing step into the abyss). Liu Chaoru didn't love Mei Qing but married her. , Had physical desires but refused to touch Mei Qing, liked Mengli but dared not touch Mengli, so he had no confidence to control Mengli, and he had no confidence to control Mei Qing, so his seemingly ordinary choice actually ruined the lives of Mei Qing, Mengli and Mei Qing. Liu Chaoru's death was not unjust or innocent at all. If it were not for Liu Chaoru, Mengli would have money, leisure, and Chang Xiucai to pursue her. Maybe things would get better after leaving the Meng Mansion, and Mei Qing might meet someone like Qiu Sheng who may not be as perfect but who sincerely pities her and truly step out of the pit of fire. But both of them were destroyed by Liu Chaoru. Perhaps from the perspective of the heroine, the people who hurt the heroine are all bad and not good people, and they should not be rewarded, but Meng Yu, the culprit, has a wife and children who are successful in the official career, and her accomplice Anemone is also prosperous. Why is Mengli Meiqing not qualified to be happy?
Alas, it feels uncomfortable. Meng Yu lives a good life, his wife and children are close to each other, and his career will be prosperous in the future. The male protagonist abandons his career and ruins his career. Mengli, who has suffered all his life, is killed by his daughter. His true love misunderstands her empathy, and Liu, an upright official, is poisoned by his wife because of an affair that is not over the top. I can understand Mei Qing's ending. Although she got love, she couldn't leave her house or see anyone for the rest of her life, which can be considered a kind of forgiveness and atonement. But Meng Yu did such a thing, because of his own selfishness, he destroyed his wife, who had supported each other since childhood (it was not destroyed later because the male protagonist came to save her, not because he changed his past), but he still got true love and a child, and everything went well in the future. I was stunned to death.
The most disgusting thing in this story is the two men, Meng and Liu. Meng used his wife to get promoted and make a fortune, while Liu used women to realize his dirty thoughts. In fact, there is nothing dirty or dirty about falling in love with an older woman, but he trampled on the woman's daughter's heart into pieces, and even his love was hypocritical and disgusting.
Mei Qing may not really be such a bitch and build a memorial arch. She may not be able to live a hard life when she wanted to marry Liu, but what about after marrying her? What did Liu give her? She was trampled on once again. What did Liu and Mengli do to her? She had no choice but to return to the romantic field, spurning her and falling into the abyss. The plot where Mei Qing killed Liu and Mengli was my favorite. At that time, I couldn't figure out how to break the situation. I even thought about not dying, so as to clarify my ambition through death, but I also thought it was ridiculous. Death is a kind of admitting defeat. Why should I admit defeat? Then killing them would be satisfying enough.
Meng's ending is something I'm not very satisfied with. He is also a disgusting and wretched person, and he is even less worthy of Anemone's love. But such things do exist in the world. If you can understand people's hearts to the extreme, you can indeed survive.
Meng Yu and Dong Mo, this is actually a modern story. The background is transplanted to ancient times. Only modern people have such an imagination of loyal men. They are a bit anti-feudal and anti-patriarchal, but this is more real. If you do deviant things, how can you be easily accepted by a wealthy family? And if he hadn't been treated coldly since childhood, how could he have such a strong sense of resistance?
Mengli is the beginning of tragedy, but she is a tragedy. Naturally, it can be said that she should not pass on the tragedy, but any more words seem to be harsh.
Unexpectedly, apart from the male and female protagonists, the most heart-wrenching one is Chang Shaojun
I have been reading for more than ten years, and it has been a long time since I met someone who wanted to write a book review. After reading this book, I was really filled with emotion. For the fate of everyone in the book, if I had not read the last extra chapter, I would still feel that Mengli should die. If Mengli did not die, Mengtuo would never be able to get rid of the shackles of this original family. After reading the chapter of Shaojun, I suddenly understood the malicious behavior of this woman in the end. I started to think that before Mei Qing got married, she was still saying that she should have a good life. Why didn't she say anything to persuade Mei Qing when she had the idea of immortal dancing again? Although this woman's conscience is indeed pitiful, she also once sincerely hoped that Mei Qing would get out of the quagmire and have a good life, but if you look closely, when did she hope that Mei Qing would have a good life? When Shaojun was around, she was also getting better when Shaojun was by her side. Although she never admitted it, in fact, what she did was very similar to what Mengtuo did after being imprisoned. If she didn't live well and was stuck in this quagmire, others wouldn't be able to live well either, especially the three of them, mother and daughter. None of them could live well. In her life's experience, in the rough life after the disaster, the only warm love she encountered was this. She was ruined by Liu Chaoru. If you look closely, was she really unwilling to spend 500 taels of silver to send her away from the Yamen? No, judging from the fact that she gave Mei Qing a dowry because of guilt, and the silver taels he gave when he broke up with Chang Shaojun, this woman who has experienced the dangers of the world knows very well. This matter cannot be solved with 500 taels. When it comes to this, I really want to scold Liu Chaoru to death, this cowardly and disgusting man! So when Mei Qing had the idea of returning to his old career, she didn't stop her at all, and even tried to make things happen. In the end, the money she got was just empty and lonely, and couldn't fill the hole in her heart. The thoughts of the three mother and daughter are very easy to understand. As we usually say, we hope that our friends will live well but not better than ourselves. But these three people are stuck in the quagmire together, and the fate of those who came from those dirty days together is even more entangled. They are already connected by blood. It is even more difficult to see one of them crawling out of the mud pit, leaving the one alone and still sinking in the mud pit. It is as painful as tearing off the skin and flesh on the body, so he has to hold on to the other's ankles to let her stay. This is also one of the reasons why Mengyu could have gone out faster and ushered in a new life, but all kinds of troubles arose. As the author said, the relationship between her and Dong Mo will never depend on Dong Mo, but on her. Mengli is a woman who is really difficult to criticize. If she hadn't died in the end, I would have felt that she was the heroine of this book. Mengyu was born and created by her, and Mei Qing was trained by her. She Every step of our lives has a strong shadow of Mengli, which is why she must die, because her sense of oppression is too strong. If she lives, Mei Qing and Meng Tuo will never be able to enter a new life. This person has a strong sarcasm and sharpness towards the world, wishing to smash the world and destroy everyone, but she also has a kind side. Many of Meng Tuo's good deeds would not be possible without her. She was alone and gave birth to Meng Tuo when she was seventeen or eighteen. Although full of resentment, she still never abandoned Meng Tuo in such a difficult situation, even before Meng Tuo turned ten years old. She really forced Meng Yu to do evil things, but this woman hated the child and the world, so she never really raised her with all her heart, forcing Meng Yu to follow the same path as her. In this world, she also met Meng Yu, a person who wallowed in the mud like them, and fate pushed them into another gorgeous and rancid vanity fair. Meng Yu, he always said that he is the same as Meng Yu, but as a man, and someone who suffered alone, he is actually more like Meng Li, but he is a man, he has an additional imperial examination path, and is less ridiculed by the world, so it makes him even more cowardly and incompetent. When he recovers, he will He no longer had the courage to bend down and beg for mercy. The humbleness in his heart made him dare not lower his posture to pray for anything from others. He was too afraid of losing, so he did not dare to reveal his true feelings to Meng Tuo. He only dared to reveal it in front of Anemone, and he only dared to accept Anemone's love and then respond, because he clearly knew He said that Anemone loved him, and he didn't need any prayers. Anemone had given him her wholehearted enthusiasm, but without any sacrifice. Can he say that he loved Anemone? I don't think he had ever loved Anemone before, and he never would in the future, because Anemone was too simple, and she was too ignorant about accidents and human feelings, and she couldn't mentally communicate with Meng Lian. At the same level as Jade, all she has is her sincerity, but for a person like Meng Yu, sincerity is always for herself, and he can't give it to anyone else. Don't look at him going crazy to save Meng Yu when he is about to lose it. He wants to go back to the past and treat Meng Yu sincerely, but is he sincere and can he give it? No, it's still the same, from the way she cares about Meng You, from what he does is to no longer let Meng You get along with the men in the officialdom. This is what he thinks is the change. He wants to use this method to keep Meng You's people and heart. It's no wonder he can't keep him. In the end, he refused to lower his posture and show his sincerity to Meng You. He still cowardly escapes, hoping that Meng You will figure it out on his own. He deserves to not get Meng You. And Meng Yu's ups and downs in the officialdom reflect another world. These confrontations of power and indifferent money transactions are just like Dong Mo's native family, ruthless, indifferent, cold, and even finally saw through his grandfather's face that he still had the same filth. Dong Mo's kindness and integrity come from his passionate and unlucky father. He has justice and kindness, but because he grew up in a family that valued people by power and invested by value and learned how to be worldly at an early age, I have to say that for such a person, he is not a good person, but he has a good heart, so he can discover the beauty of Meng Yuan, her true beauty. In the end, Liu Chaoru is really rubbish and cannot be mentioned. He is just an ordinary person of all kinds. He thinks he is upright and upholds his integrity, and he thinks he is fair and selfless, but he is just self-righteous. He is just a bad person. He has the wildness and inability of a commoner, and the loyalty of a scholar who cannot hold on. Everything is just terrible, selfish, cold, and disgusting!
I felt very happy to see Liu Chaoru die, and felt sad to see the old lady die. I don't know how to evaluate the character of the old lady. She is pitiful, but she refuses Liu Chaoru's pursuit. The worst character in the book is Mei Qing. She was raped when she was a beggar when she was a child. She was finally raised by the old lady and began to learn to use her beauty and body to deceive her. She wanted to be noble and noble. Clean, but the world is so big but she has nowhere to go. She fell in love with Liu Chaoru and regarded Liu Chaoru as her home, thinking that she could wash her hands in a golden basin. However, Liu Chaoru got together with the old lady. Liu did not love her and ignored her. She had no choice but to return to Fengyuechang. She hated those men, but she could only force herself to cater to them. Her heart had long been as cold as ice. Knowing about Liu Chaoru and the old lady that night was the final blow that made her fall completely. She gave up on herself. How could anyone in this world make her miss him? Kill three birds with one stone and everyone would be clean. Fortunately, Qiu Sheng still loved her in the end. I wonder if her body can be cured, and whether her heart will be melted by Qiu Sheng's love. Don't be so miserable in the next life, Mei Qing.
After reading "Marrying a Weak Waist", this is the first time I write such a long review.
Opinions on whether Meng Yu loves Anemone: Meng Yu's love for Anemone is not love, but exquisite self-projection and redemption.
Meng Yu has never had true "love" for Anemone. His feelings for Anemone are a carefully constructed self-deception. He regarded anemone as two crucial "symbols":
1. The stand-in for the "pure version of Meng Yu": Anemone's appearance happened to be when Meng Yu turned away from him and showed his shrewd and worldly side. Anemone's humility, obedience, and unconditional admiration for him are exactly in line with the shadow in Meng Yu's heart that she was "untainted by the world and in need of his salvation" in her early dreams. In Anemone, he recreated and tried to control the role of "savior" that he had long lost in his relationship with Meng Yuan.
2. A symbol of self-moral redemption: Meng Yu's frustrations in officialdom and love filled his heart with a sense of filth and powerlessness. Saving the Anemone sisters who were trapped in the fire pit was a kind of psychological compensation for his inability to save his dream (and his own fall). Anemone's dependence allowed him to temporarily believe that "he is still a good person."
Thoughts on some key plot points
1. Concealing Meng Tuo to save Anemone: This is not out of love for Anemone, but betrayal and revenge against Meng Tuo. He is using actions to prove to Mengtuo (and also to himself): "Look, I don't have to be you, I can also save another 'you'." At the same time, this also satisfies his secret desire for moral performance.
2. Having sex in an inn: This is a mixture of desire, conquest and self-comfort. Rather than being emotional, it is better to say it is an act of reaffirming male authority and control in a "safe substitute" after being frustrated by Mengyao. Anemone's initiative just catered to his need to be worshiped and have his emptiness filled at the moment.
3. Don't let Anemone do the fairy dance and accept the pregnancy: This reflects the "pseudo-responsibility" side of Meng Yu's character. His "responsibility" was not out of love, but because: Anemone's pregnancy pushed his "rescuing Feng Chen" drama to a realistic climax - he had to finish playing this "love-heavy" role.
4. This completely binds him to Anemone, forming a traditional and controlling family relationship that is completely opposite to Mengtuo-Dong Mo. In this relationship, he is the absolute center and benefactor.
Monologue in Chapter 66: This is the most critical evidence. The psychological confession here clearly reveals the foundation of his feelings for Anemone - she became the driftwood and mirror image of his emotional collapse at the most appropriate time. What he loves is not Anemone himself, but what he sees through Anemone, the self and dream that "could have had another happy life".
The tragic nature of character relationships: the symbiosis of two "shadows"
Meng Yu is hypocritical and cowardly, while Anemone is both responsible and upright. Their relationship is a tragic conspiracy:
Meng Yu: A narcissist who dares not face his true desires and failures. He needs a "weak" and "pure" symbol like anemone to maintain his shaky sense of self-worth. The "goodness" he brings to Anemone is essentially a condescending charity and self-satisfaction.
Anemone: A sober climber and conspirator. She saw Meng Yu's weakness clearly, and used "weakness" and "worship" as weapons to actively intervene to strive for the stability of reality. What she loves may be the "decent life" and gentle illusion that Meng Yu represents, rather than his complicated self. She is also taking advantage of this "shadow game".
Finale extra
After Meng Yu was released from prison, he returned to Suzhou with Anemone and his children. It seemed like a happy ending, but in fact it was a complete compromise after being disillusioned.
1. The complete loss of Meng Tuo and the destruction of his own career made him completely lose the qualifications and stage to pursue "White Moonlight".
2. At this time, the existence of Anemone and the child is no longer the proof of his "love", but the only visible "assets" and responsibilities left in his real life. This is more like a tired resignation. It is the only concrete thing he can do after all his illusory dreams are shattered - "acting as a good husband and a good father."
3. This ending just proves that he has never loved the real Anemone. If there had been a passionate and true love between them, they would have been relieved to know each other after going through adversity, rather than the lukewarm, inertial, lack of vitality revealed in the article.
In summary, Meng Yu's feelings for Anemone are an emotional projection in the name of "redemption" and in reality "narcissism". By "loving" Anemone, he loves the unfallen self in his imagination, takes revenge on the dream that he cannot grasp, and builds an emotional kingdom that he can fully control. This is not love, this is the last decent prison built by a cowardly and selfish man for himself after his life completely collapsed. And Anemone is not only the guard of this prison, but also the longest prisoner in it.
I feel that Meng Yu's sentence "Meng Yu loves Anemone with all her heart" is precisely one of the greatest ironies and compassions.
1. Comfort and fulfillment for Anemone: Mengyu knew that Anemone's world was completely built on Meng Yu. Denying this "love" is tantamount to destroying Anemone's spiritual support for survival. She gave Anemone a certain "status" so that she could deceive herself and others to gain peace for the rest of her life.
2. The ultimate denial and letting go of Meng Yu: This sentence is also equivalent to "definition" of Meng Yu's feelings - your love drama ends here, your partner is Anemone, don't involve the past anymore. This is an elegant cut, and it also implies that your so-called "love" is worthy of such a pattern.
3. The ironic truth: If this requires others to affirm "wholeheartedly", it just proves that their love is thin and suspicious. True, unquestionable love (such as Dong Mo's love for Meng Tuo) never needs to be so solemnly declared to the outside world.
Combining Meng Yu's character, Anemone's situation, and Dong Mo's prophecy of "comeback", their future is not a smooth road, but a downhill road that is calm on the surface but slowly corrodes on the inside.
Meng Yu: It is impossible to change, it will only "recycle"
1. The curse of "comeback": Dong Mo's prediction hit the nail on the head. What is Meng Yu's "way to be an official"? It's about drilling, it's about performing, it's about finding a backer and controlling the weak. Once he finds an opportunity in Suzhou, he will definitely regain this philosophy of survival. At that time, the family will no longer be his "salvation", but will return to his "decent decoration" and "logistics support".
2. The falseness of change: All of Meng Yu's "good things" are based on the premise of "not damaging one's core interests." He can provide Anemone with a stable life because it fits his persona of a "responsible benefactor". But it is absolutely impossible for him to change his core character of selfishness, hypocrisy, and desire to be admired. When external temptations or challenges arise, the first thing he protects must be himself.
3. The inevitable fading of feelings towards Anemone: As time goes by, the aura of "Dream Shadow" on Anemone will completely fade away, and the moral passion of "saving Feng Chen" will also be exhausted. What is left is just a familiar, supple, and perhaps gradually boring "child mother". His emotions will tend towards inertia and responsibility rather than love.
Anemone: the tragic fate of enduring illness
1. The double-edged sword of "motherly love": This is Anemone's only weapon and also her deepest shackles. She earns her existence through meticulous care and dedication. However, this kind of contribution is consumption-oriented and cannot obtain equivalent spiritual nourishment.
2. The desperate situation of losing herself: Her world only contains Meng Yu and her children. When Meng Yu is busy "making a comeback" and the spiritual world has nothing to do with her, she will fall into a huge emptiness and uneasiness. Her "weakness and crybaby" will change from pitiable in the early stage to tiring and neglected in the later stage.
3. Self-abuse or concealment leads to illness: Anemone's character in the novel has foreshadowed her ending. She couldn't have the clarity and strength to break the boat like Meng Yu did. The greater possibility is that she internalized all the pain:
An exquisite emotional tomb
The best situation for Meng Yu and Anemone's future is to maintain a complete form of "happiness":
Meng Yu may regain some status outside and enjoy his wife's obedience and admiration at home.
Anemone guarded the title, children and material life of "Mrs. Meng", constantly convincing herself that "this is love".
But this is a lifeless happiness. It lacks the collision of souls, equal dialogue and the passion for mutual growth. Like a well-built tomb, Meng Yu's unfulfilled ambitions and love dreams are buried inside, as well as Anemone's true self and fresh emotions.
Their relationship began with projection and ended with resignation. Meng Yu will not change, and Anemone will gradually wither in forbearance. This is not happiness, this is a long, silent burial between two people who cannot face their true selves alone. The "comeback" predicted by Dong Mo may be the last straw that crushes the apparent calmness of this relationship - it will ruthlessly prove that Meng Yu's favorite thing is always his own philosophy of survival, rather than the specific people around him.
From the various female characters in this book, we can see the epitome of the women who were eaten in the old times. Whether it is the three men of the Meng family or the second sister, Grandma Dong, they were all persecuted or disciplined. Fortunately, the heroine had a good ending.
It's so frustrating to watch. Mengli, Liu Chaoru, these two are really hard to comment on
I think the ending of the hero and heroine regaining their new life is very good and I don't regret it at all. What's the importance of a contract? After reading the entire article, I realized that in fact, Meng'er always inadvertently showed her true side in front of Brother Ping, which had not yet flowed through the muddy water. Although he said it was a lie in Xiaochanhua Lane at first, the relationship between the two was no different from that time. Meng'er was always free and lively when he was around him. In the first half of his life, Brother Ping received only indifference from his family, and he only gained a little life from Meng'er. These two people support each other in this world and are soul mates who cannot be separated.
As for the second male lead, how can he not get his shoes wet when he often walks by the river? He cannot change his greed. The male protagonist's talk about "his way of becoming an official" may also hint at his future. That concubine was not an equal in front of him at all. In the end, the second male lead was quick to attack her and then go away. He felt sorry for her and then softened his heart, thinking that she didn't understand and was impatient. It's hard to criticize this concubine herself. She knew she had a family and she had to squeeze in. When I saw her saying, "She seems to owe my wife something," I rolled my eyes. Isn't that right? You two owe her something.
Mei Qing... Maybe it's like what the heroine said, it would be nice if there was someone who loved her wholeheartedly. It feels like she has been longing for a little love. In fact, just a little bit can save her. While doing those things, she tried it on Liu, and she also had fantasies on Qiu Sheng. It's a pity that Liu Tai is disgusting. He married someone else's daughter just to mess with someone else's mother. How can Mei Qing not despair if she knows this? I felt particularly relieved when she killed those two.
Mengli is really... I can hardly understand her pain no matter what...
Anyway, Meng Yumengli is the two most annoying people in the whole drama. Although the supporting characters except the male protagonist basically cause harm to the female protagonist, the two people who hurt the female protagonist the most are the two people. It is a crime for the heroine to have such a person as her mother, and as she said herself: You have to be blind to love someone like Meng Yu.
Liu Chaoru was not so innocent when he was poisoned, because he ruined the lives of Meng Li and Meiqing. He liked Mengli but did not dare to marry her because of his reputation, but he tried every means to get Mengli. He wanted to love but did not dare to love but dared to use his power to ruin Mengli's love. Due to the world's circumstances, he did not dare to face his true heart like a normal scholar but dared to frame Chang Xiucai. He clearly didn't like Mei Qing but asked to marry her, which made Mei Qing think that she had escaped from the fire pit but was actually another fire pit. He harmed three people and ruined two people. Only Chang Xiucai could still have a happy life even with a bad reputation, because men in ancient times had it easier than women, but Mengli and Mei Qing had no way to escape Liu Chaoru. At first, I thought Liu Chaoru was innocent. But after looking at Mengli's perspective, I feel that he is not actually that innocent. Also in love with Mengli, Chang Xiucai was determined not to fool the world by marrying Mengli's daughter Mei Qing. He would rather risk being looked down upon by others and pursue Mengli wholeheartedly. He never harmed anyone and never deceived his true heart. But Liu Chaoru, a good person in the eyes of the world, first used his power to deliberately frame his love rival Chang Xiucai to force Mengli to give up Chang Xiucai, ruining Mengli's chance of budding happiness (obviously in the eyes of the world, the ugly relationship of money transactions was the true love between Chang Xiucai and Mengli), and then he defrauded Mei Qing into marrying her but refused to fulfill her husband's basic obligations (such as affection, love, and housekeeping), ruining Mei Qing's life. The article shows many times that Mei Qing still wanted to turn back despite being manipulated by Meng Li to cheat on her. Mei Qing tried every means to leave the Meng Mansion and get married in order to turn around and never waste her life by doing immortal dance again. Unfortunately, Mei Qing's chance to break away from her family and turn around was ruined by Liu Chaoru, a husband who only wanted to marry a tool to get close to Mei Qing's mother. There are indeed many despicable things about Mei Qing, but if Liu Chaoru hadn't married her but not taken care of her as his wife, and at the same time tried every means to bring Mengli, the mother-in-law who was used to controlling Mei Qing's life, into his home, Mei Qing would not have gone astray again and again. If Liu Chaoru's indifference and Mengli's PUA are explosives that are constantly being buried, then the discovery of Liu Chaoru and Mengli's adultery is the fuse. Mei Qing's killing of Liu Chaoru and Mengli is actually very normal and reasonable (it makes people applaud). Some people may think that Liu Chaoru did not have the same relationship with Mengli. At most, he cheated emotionally rather than physically. He seemed to have tried his best to restrain himself, which seemed very innocent. However, if you think about it carefully, he ruined Mengli's love first, so Mengli was empty and lonely and could only fill the void by running her old business (Mengli clearly had no shortage of money, but later she kept pulling Meiqing to perform fairy dances, which looked like a money man). Mengli was stabbed but she said she didn't blame Mei Qing (Obviously Mengli knew that she was deliberately hurting Mei Qing). Maybe she did the fairy dance in revenge for Liu Chaoru's harm to Chang Xiucai, and later ruined Mei Qing's life (Mengli and Meiqing had been doing the fairy dance behind her back. Liu Chaoru was reminded several times to take care of the housekeeper but deliberately ignored it, letting Mei Qing step into the abyss). Liu Chaoru didn't love Mei Qing but married her. , Had physical desires but refused to touch Mei Qing, liked Mengli but dared not touch Mengli, so he had no confidence to control Mengli, and he had no confidence to control Mei Qing, so his seemingly ordinary choice actually ruined the lives of Mei Qing, Mengli and Mei Qing. Liu Chaoru's death was not unjust or innocent at all. If it were not for Liu Chaoru, Mengli would have money, leisure, and Chang Xiucai to pursue her. Maybe things would get better after leaving the Meng Mansion, and Mei Qing might meet someone like Qiu Sheng who may not be as perfect but who sincerely pities her and truly step out of the pit of fire. But both of them were destroyed by Liu Chaoru. Perhaps from the perspective of the heroine, the people who hurt the heroine are all bad and not good people, and they should not be rewarded, but Meng Yu, the culprit, has a wife and children who are successful in the official career, and her accomplice Anemone is also prosperous. Why is Mengli Meiqing not qualified to be happy?
Alas, it feels uncomfortable. Meng Yu lives a good life, his wife and children are close to each other, and his career will be prosperous in the future. The male protagonist abandons his career and ruins his career. Mengli, who has suffered all his life, is killed by his daughter. His true love misunderstands her empathy, and Liu, an upright official, is poisoned by his wife because of an affair that is not over the top. I can understand Mei Qing's ending. Although she got love, she couldn't leave her house or see anyone for the rest of her life, which can be considered a kind of forgiveness and atonement. But Meng Yu did such a thing, because of his own selfishness, he destroyed his wife, who had supported each other since childhood (it was not destroyed later because the male protagonist came to save her, not because he changed his past), but he still got true love and a child, and everything went well in the future. I was stunned to death.
The most disgusting thing in this story is the two men, Meng and Liu. Meng used his wife to get promoted and make a fortune, while Liu used women to realize his dirty thoughts. In fact, there is nothing dirty or dirty about falling in love with an older woman, but he trampled on the woman's daughter's heart into pieces, and even his love was hypocritical and disgusting. Mei Qing may not really be such a bitch and build a memorial arch. She may not be able to live a hard life when she wanted to marry Liu, but what about after marrying her? What did Liu give her? She was trampled on once again. What did Liu and Mengli do to her? She had no choice but to return to the romantic field, spurning her and falling into the abyss. The plot where Mei Qing killed Liu and Mengli was my favorite. At that time, I couldn't figure out how to break the situation. I even thought about not dying, so as to clarify my ambition through death, but I also thought it was ridiculous. Death is a kind of admitting defeat. Why should I admit defeat? Then killing them would be satisfying enough. Meng's ending is something I'm not very satisfied with. He is also a disgusting and wretched person, and he is even less worthy of Anemone's love. But such things do exist in the world. If you can understand people's hearts to the extreme, you can indeed survive. Meng Yu and Dong Mo, this is actually a modern story. The background is transplanted to ancient times. Only modern people have such an imagination of loyal men. They are a bit anti-feudal and anti-patriarchal, but this is more real. If you do deviant things, how can you be easily accepted by a wealthy family? And if he hadn't been treated coldly since childhood, how could he have such a strong sense of resistance? Mengli is the beginning of tragedy, but she is a tragedy. Naturally, it can be said that she should not pass on the tragedy, but any more words seem to be harsh.
Unexpectedly, apart from the male and female protagonists, the most heart-wrenching one is Chang Shaojun
I have been reading for more than ten years, and it has been a long time since I met someone who wanted to write a book review. After reading this book, I was really filled with emotion. For the fate of everyone in the book, if I had not read the last extra chapter, I would still feel that Mengli should die. If Mengli did not die, Mengtuo would never be able to get rid of the shackles of this original family. After reading the chapter of Shaojun, I suddenly understood the malicious behavior of this woman in the end. I started to think that before Mei Qing got married, she was still saying that she should have a good life. Why didn't she say anything to persuade Mei Qing when she had the idea of immortal dancing again? Although this woman's conscience is indeed pitiful, she also once sincerely hoped that Mei Qing would get out of the quagmire and have a good life, but if you look closely, when did she hope that Mei Qing would have a good life? When Shaojun was around, she was also getting better when Shaojun was by her side. Although she never admitted it, in fact, what she did was very similar to what Mengtuo did after being imprisoned. If she didn't live well and was stuck in this quagmire, others wouldn't be able to live well either, especially the three of them, mother and daughter. None of them could live well. In her life's experience, in the rough life after the disaster, the only warm love she encountered was this. She was ruined by Liu Chaoru. If you look closely, was she really unwilling to spend 500 taels of silver to send her away from the Yamen? No, judging from the fact that she gave Mei Qing a dowry because of guilt, and the silver taels he gave when he broke up with Chang Shaojun, this woman who has experienced the dangers of the world knows very well. This matter cannot be solved with 500 taels. When it comes to this, I really want to scold Liu Chaoru to death, this cowardly and disgusting man! So when Mei Qing had the idea of returning to his old career, she didn't stop her at all, and even tried to make things happen. In the end, the money she got was just empty and lonely, and couldn't fill the hole in her heart. The thoughts of the three mother and daughter are very easy to understand. As we usually say, we hope that our friends will live well but not better than ourselves. But these three people are stuck in the quagmire together, and the fate of those who came from those dirty days together is even more entangled. They are already connected by blood. It is even more difficult to see one of them crawling out of the mud pit, leaving the one alone and still sinking in the mud pit. It is as painful as tearing off the skin and flesh on the body, so he has to hold on to the other's ankles to let her stay. This is also one of the reasons why Mengyu could have gone out faster and ushered in a new life, but all kinds of troubles arose. As the author said, the relationship between her and Dong Mo will never depend on Dong Mo, but on her. Mengli is a woman who is really difficult to criticize. If she hadn't died in the end, I would have felt that she was the heroine of this book. Mengyu was born and created by her, and Mei Qing was trained by her. She Every step of our lives has a strong shadow of Mengli, which is why she must die, because her sense of oppression is too strong. If she lives, Mei Qing and Meng Tuo will never be able to enter a new life. This person has a strong sarcasm and sharpness towards the world, wishing to smash the world and destroy everyone, but she also has a kind side. Many of Meng Tuo's good deeds would not be possible without her. She was alone and gave birth to Meng Tuo when she was seventeen or eighteen. Although full of resentment, she still never abandoned Meng Tuo in such a difficult situation, even before Meng Tuo turned ten years old. She really forced Meng Yu to do evil things, but this woman hated the child and the world, so she never really raised her with all her heart, forcing Meng Yu to follow the same path as her. In this world, she also met Meng Yu, a person who wallowed in the mud like them, and fate pushed them into another gorgeous and rancid vanity fair. Meng Yu, he always said that he is the same as Meng Yu, but as a man, and someone who suffered alone, he is actually more like Meng Li, but he is a man, he has an additional imperial examination path, and is less ridiculed by the world, so it makes him even more cowardly and incompetent. When he recovers, he will He no longer had the courage to bend down and beg for mercy. The humbleness in his heart made him dare not lower his posture to pray for anything from others. He was too afraid of losing, so he did not dare to reveal his true feelings to Meng Tuo. He only dared to reveal it in front of Anemone, and he only dared to accept Anemone's love and then respond, because he clearly knew He said that Anemone loved him, and he didn't need any prayers. Anemone had given him her wholehearted enthusiasm, but without any sacrifice. Can he say that he loved Anemone? I don't think he had ever loved Anemone before, and he never would in the future, because Anemone was too simple, and she was too ignorant about accidents and human feelings, and she couldn't mentally communicate with Meng Lian. At the same level as Jade, all she has is her sincerity, but for a person like Meng Yu, sincerity is always for herself, and he can't give it to anyone else. Don't look at him going crazy to save Meng Yu when he is about to lose it. He wants to go back to the past and treat Meng Yu sincerely, but is he sincere and can he give it? No, it's still the same, from the way she cares about Meng You, from what he does is to no longer let Meng You get along with the men in the officialdom. This is what he thinks is the change. He wants to use this method to keep Meng You's people and heart. It's no wonder he can't keep him. In the end, he refused to lower his posture and show his sincerity to Meng You. He still cowardly escapes, hoping that Meng You will figure it out on his own. He deserves to not get Meng You. And Meng Yu's ups and downs in the officialdom reflect another world. These confrontations of power and indifferent money transactions are just like Dong Mo's native family, ruthless, indifferent, cold, and even finally saw through his grandfather's face that he still had the same filth. Dong Mo's kindness and integrity come from his passionate and unlucky father. He has justice and kindness, but because he grew up in a family that valued people by power and invested by value and learned how to be worldly at an early age, I have to say that for such a person, he is not a good person, but he has a good heart, so he can discover the beauty of Meng Yuan, her true beauty. In the end, Liu Chaoru is really rubbish and cannot be mentioned. He is just an ordinary person of all kinds. He thinks he is upright and upholds his integrity, and he thinks he is fair and selfless, but he is just self-righteous. He is just a bad person. He has the wildness and inability of a commoner, and the loyalty of a scholar who cannot hold on. Everything is just terrible, selfish, cold, and disgusting!
I felt very happy to see Liu Chaoru die, and felt sad to see the old lady die. I don't know how to evaluate the character of the old lady. She is pitiful, but she refuses Liu Chaoru's pursuit. The worst character in the book is Mei Qing. She was raped when she was a beggar when she was a child. She was finally raised by the old lady and began to learn to use her beauty and body to deceive her. She wanted to be noble and noble. Clean, but the world is so big but she has nowhere to go. She fell in love with Liu Chaoru and regarded Liu Chaoru as her home, thinking that she could wash her hands in a golden basin. However, Liu Chaoru got together with the old lady. Liu did not love her and ignored her. She had no choice but to return to Fengyuechang. She hated those men, but she could only force herself to cater to them. Her heart had long been as cold as ice. Knowing about Liu Chaoru and the old lady that night was the final blow that made her fall completely. She gave up on herself. How could anyone in this world make her miss him? Kill three birds with one stone and everyone would be clean. Fortunately, Qiu Sheng still loved her in the end. I wonder if her body can be cured, and whether her heart will be melted by Qiu Sheng's love. Don't be so miserable in the next life, Mei Qing.
After reading "Marrying a Weak Waist", this is the first time I write such a long review. Opinions on whether Meng Yu loves Anemone: Meng Yu's love for Anemone is not love, but exquisite self-projection and redemption. Meng Yu has never had true "love" for Anemone. His feelings for Anemone are a carefully constructed self-deception. He regarded anemone as two crucial "symbols": 1. The stand-in for the "pure version of Meng Yu": Anemone's appearance happened to be when Meng Yu turned away from him and showed his shrewd and worldly side. Anemone's humility, obedience, and unconditional admiration for him are exactly in line with the shadow in Meng Yu's heart that she was "untainted by the world and in need of his salvation" in her early dreams. In Anemone, he recreated and tried to control the role of "savior" that he had long lost in his relationship with Meng Yuan. 2. A symbol of self-moral redemption: Meng Yu's frustrations in officialdom and love filled his heart with a sense of filth and powerlessness. Saving the Anemone sisters who were trapped in the fire pit was a kind of psychological compensation for his inability to save his dream (and his own fall). Anemone's dependence allowed him to temporarily believe that "he is still a good person." Thoughts on some key plot points 1. Concealing Meng Tuo to save Anemone: This is not out of love for Anemone, but betrayal and revenge against Meng Tuo. He is using actions to prove to Mengtuo (and also to himself): "Look, I don't have to be you, I can also save another 'you'." At the same time, this also satisfies his secret desire for moral performance. 2. Having sex in an inn: This is a mixture of desire, conquest and self-comfort. Rather than being emotional, it is better to say it is an act of reaffirming male authority and control in a "safe substitute" after being frustrated by Mengyao. Anemone's initiative just catered to his need to be worshiped and have his emptiness filled at the moment. 3. Don't let Anemone do the fairy dance and accept the pregnancy: This reflects the "pseudo-responsibility" side of Meng Yu's character. His "responsibility" was not out of love, but because: Anemone's pregnancy pushed his "rescuing Feng Chen" drama to a realistic climax - he had to finish playing this "love-heavy" role. 4. This completely binds him to Anemone, forming a traditional and controlling family relationship that is completely opposite to Mengtuo-Dong Mo. In this relationship, he is the absolute center and benefactor. Monologue in Chapter 66: This is the most critical evidence. The psychological confession here clearly reveals the foundation of his feelings for Anemone - she became the driftwood and mirror image of his emotional collapse at the most appropriate time. What he loves is not Anemone himself, but what he sees through Anemone, the self and dream that "could have had another happy life". The tragic nature of character relationships: the symbiosis of two "shadows" Meng Yu is hypocritical and cowardly, while Anemone is both responsible and upright. Their relationship is a tragic conspiracy: Meng Yu: A narcissist who dares not face his true desires and failures. He needs a "weak" and "pure" symbol like anemone to maintain his shaky sense of self-worth. The "goodness" he brings to Anemone is essentially a condescending charity and self-satisfaction. Anemone: A sober climber and conspirator. She saw Meng Yu's weakness clearly, and used "weakness" and "worship" as weapons to actively intervene to strive for the stability of reality. What she loves may be the "decent life" and gentle illusion that Meng Yu represents, rather than his complicated self. She is also taking advantage of this "shadow game". Finale extra After Meng Yu was released from prison, he returned to Suzhou with Anemone and his children. It seemed like a happy ending, but in fact it was a complete compromise after being disillusioned. 1. The complete loss of Meng Tuo and the destruction of his own career made him completely lose the qualifications and stage to pursue "White Moonlight". 2. At this time, the existence of Anemone and the child is no longer the proof of his "love", but the only visible "assets" and responsibilities left in his real life. This is more like a tired resignation. It is the only concrete thing he can do after all his illusory dreams are shattered - "acting as a good husband and a good father." 3. This ending just proves that he has never loved the real Anemone. If there had been a passionate and true love between them, they would have been relieved to know each other after going through adversity, rather than the lukewarm, inertial, lack of vitality revealed in the article. In summary, Meng Yu's feelings for Anemone are an emotional projection in the name of "redemption" and in reality "narcissism". By "loving" Anemone, he loves the unfallen self in his imagination, takes revenge on the dream that he cannot grasp, and builds an emotional kingdom that he can fully control. This is not love, this is the last decent prison built by a cowardly and selfish man for himself after his life completely collapsed. And Anemone is not only the guard of this prison, but also the longest prisoner in it. I feel that Meng Yu's sentence "Meng Yu loves Anemone with all her heart" is precisely one of the greatest ironies and compassions. 1. Comfort and fulfillment for Anemone: Mengyu knew that Anemone's world was completely built on Meng Yu. Denying this "love" is tantamount to destroying Anemone's spiritual support for survival. She gave Anemone a certain "status" so that she could deceive herself and others to gain peace for the rest of her life. 2. The ultimate denial and letting go of Meng Yu: This sentence is also equivalent to "definition" of Meng Yu's feelings - your love drama ends here, your partner is Anemone, don't involve the past anymore. This is an elegant cut, and it also implies that your so-called "love" is worthy of such a pattern. 3. The ironic truth: If this requires others to affirm "wholeheartedly", it just proves that their love is thin and suspicious. True, unquestionable love (such as Dong Mo's love for Meng Tuo) never needs to be so solemnly declared to the outside world. Combining Meng Yu's character, Anemone's situation, and Dong Mo's prophecy of "comeback", their future is not a smooth road, but a downhill road that is calm on the surface but slowly corrodes on the inside. Meng Yu: It is impossible to change, it will only "recycle" 1. The curse of "comeback": Dong Mo's prediction hit the nail on the head. What is Meng Yu's "way to be an official"? It's about drilling, it's about performing, it's about finding a backer and controlling the weak. Once he finds an opportunity in Suzhou, he will definitely regain this philosophy of survival. At that time, the family will no longer be his "salvation", but will return to his "decent decoration" and "logistics support". 2. The falseness of change: All of Meng Yu's "good things" are based on the premise of "not damaging one's core interests." He can provide Anemone with a stable life because it fits his persona of a "responsible benefactor". But it is absolutely impossible for him to change his core character of selfishness, hypocrisy, and desire to be admired. When external temptations or challenges arise, the first thing he protects must be himself. 3. The inevitable fading of feelings towards Anemone: As time goes by, the aura of "Dream Shadow" on Anemone will completely fade away, and the moral passion of "saving Feng Chen" will also be exhausted. What is left is just a familiar, supple, and perhaps gradually boring "child mother". His emotions will tend towards inertia and responsibility rather than love. Anemone: the tragic fate of enduring illness 1. The double-edged sword of "motherly love": This is Anemone's only weapon and also her deepest shackles. She earns her existence through meticulous care and dedication. However, this kind of contribution is consumption-oriented and cannot obtain equivalent spiritual nourishment. 2. The desperate situation of losing herself: Her world only contains Meng Yu and her children. When Meng Yu is busy "making a comeback" and the spiritual world has nothing to do with her, she will fall into a huge emptiness and uneasiness. Her "weakness and crybaby" will change from pitiable in the early stage to tiring and neglected in the later stage. 3. Self-abuse or concealment leads to illness: Anemone's character in the novel has foreshadowed her ending. She couldn't have the clarity and strength to break the boat like Meng Yu did. The greater possibility is that she internalized all the pain: An exquisite emotional tomb The best situation for Meng Yu and Anemone's future is to maintain a complete form of "happiness": Meng Yu may regain some status outside and enjoy his wife's obedience and admiration at home. Anemone guarded the title, children and material life of "Mrs. Meng", constantly convincing herself that "this is love". But this is a lifeless happiness. It lacks the collision of souls, equal dialogue and the passion for mutual growth. Like a well-built tomb, Meng Yu's unfulfilled ambitions and love dreams are buried inside, as well as Anemone's true self and fresh emotions. Their relationship began with projection and ended with resignation. Meng Yu will not change, and Anemone will gradually wither in forbearance. This is not happiness, this is a long, silent burial between two people who cannot face their true selves alone. The "comeback" predicted by Dong Mo may be the last straw that crushes the apparent calmness of this relationship - it will ruthlessly prove that Meng Yu's favorite thing is always his own philosophy of survival, rather than the specific people around him.
From the various female characters in this book, we can see the epitome of the women who were eaten in the old times. Whether it is the three men of the Meng family or the second sister, Grandma Dong, they were all persecuted or disciplined. Fortunately, the heroine had a good ending.
It's so frustrating to watch. Mengli, Liu Chaoru, these two are really hard to comment on
I think the ending of the hero and heroine regaining their new life is very good and I don't regret it at all. What's the importance of a contract? After reading the entire article, I realized that in fact, Meng'er always inadvertently showed her true side in front of Brother Ping, which had not yet flowed through the muddy water. Although he said it was a lie in Xiaochanhua Lane at first, the relationship between the two was no different from that time. Meng'er was always free and lively when he was around him. In the first half of his life, Brother Ping received only indifference from his family, and he only gained a little life from Meng'er. These two people support each other in this world and are soul mates who cannot be separated. As for the second male lead, how can he not get his shoes wet when he often walks by the river? He cannot change his greed. The male protagonist's talk about "his way of becoming an official" may also hint at his future. That concubine was not an equal in front of him at all. In the end, the second male lead was quick to attack her and then go away. He felt sorry for her and then softened his heart, thinking that she didn't understand and was impatient. It's hard to criticize this concubine herself. She knew she had a family and she had to squeeze in. When I saw her saying, "She seems to owe my wife something," I rolled my eyes. Isn't that right? You two owe her something. Mei Qing... Maybe it's like what the heroine said, it would be nice if there was someone who loved her wholeheartedly. It feels like she has been longing for a little love. In fact, just a little bit can save her. While doing those things, she tried it on Liu, and she also had fantasies on Qiu Sheng. It's a pity that Liu Tai is disgusting. He married someone else's daughter just to mess with someone else's mother. How can Mei Qing not despair if she knows this? I felt particularly relieved when she killed those two. Mengli is really... I can hardly understand her pain no matter what... Anyway, Meng Yumengli is the two most annoying people in the whole drama. Although the supporting characters except the male protagonist basically cause harm to the female protagonist, the two people who hurt the female protagonist the most are the two people. It is a crime for the heroine to have such a person as her mother, and as she said herself: You have to be blind to love someone like Meng Yu.
