In 3030, the gender ratio is severely imbalanced, and only a small number of men can marry women. After artificial wombs are invented, most men who can't find female partners begin seeking husbands among other men, both to carry on the family line and to protect themselves against financial risks. Generally speaking, in these marriages, if the couple isn't gay, the partner responsible for bearing a child is at a relative disadvantage economically and socially.
The top is a 33-year-old small business owner. At his family's urging, he looks for someone to marry. The other man is ten years younger, fair-skinned and delicate-looking, with somewhat feminine features. He's just graduated from university and is considered a highly desirable partner in the men's marriage market.
They meet through a matchmaking arrangement. At their first meeting in a cafe, the bottom's hands tremble as he holds his teacup. He keeps his eyes lowered, too nervous to look at him.
Theme: Growing little by little through life
Judging from the title, it is a sweet and brainless article. It actually writes about contemporary Chinese education, the hardship of marriage, especially for women, the difficulty of raising children, criticism of irresponsible parents, and a description of the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Although the article is short, it all reflects social problems. The society needs husbands like Chu Yunduan to love their wives. I can see the author's intention, it is a very good article, the author is very grateful (???_??)?
I originally hid in novels with a mentality of escaping reality, but this novel hit me hard to hide from reality. The content is too realistic, the trivial daily life, the entanglements between generations, the changes in Pei Ming's mentality and process, I just want to have a good fucking life!! When Pei Ming accepted his emotions head-on, the part where he hugged the clouds and cried "I'm afraid" particularly poked me for some reason. It seemed that he really felt that fear, as if he was giving in, as if it was difficult to accept himself like this. Anyway, is there a book that surprised me? The ending is full of flowers?
I don't think it ended suddenly, because everything that needs to be explained has been clearly explained, and they are living a good life where we can't see them, hehehe
I heard about the radio drama on a small video website. The plot was really attractive at the beginning. I have been reading it all lately. I liked it. But later on, I felt that the ending was too rushed. Moreover, I wrote a lot of things that I don't quite understand and it takes up a lot of space. But overall it's still ok.

Ah? It's so sudden, but it's still the end of the show!
It is particularly beautiful. The characters of Gong and Shou are very delicately portrayed. The conflicts between families and the ethical quarrels staged are all real contradictions in our real life. The author writes very well.
Please give me a side story. I'm looking forward to it.
Finished with flowers, a very interesting article
