It's so short, but I still want to see a side story of the forty-year-old Ying Zhen's post-divorce life. I feel like this would be complete.
Looking at the full text, this "time travel/amnesia" setting seems meaningless. What is more worth watching is the struggle and mental journey of the forty-year-old heroine. She is the one who needs relief 💜. BTW, the male protagonist is so unattractive (not having an affair is because he is gay and cannot be considered an advantage). He still seems to think that the heroine is divorced because the 25-year-old heroine does not love him as much as the 40-year-old heroine. To him, problems in marriage are like "socks" he throws away. He knows about them but doesn't pick them up, even if it's a misunderstanding. Like the chat history, I can't imagine how much pain the forty-year-old Ying Zhen must have...
I thought I had found a good article about a middle-aged woman awakening from the torment of marriage and children, but after reading 300,000 words, it felt more like a broken middle-aged love story. . . I was hooked by the copywriting and read it all the way through. . . The story is sixty chapters long, and the divorce was successful in the last few chapters. The heroine suffered from the middle-aged man with a controlling father and a daughter who had no manners at all during her youthful rebellious period. I was really pissed off to death. . . . The extra story is actually the story of how the heroine's husband fell in love with the heroine when he was young. . . . This kind of theme can give the heroine and her husband every possible way to create a variety of affectionate scenes. He is a young genius and a technology boss, he is a tolerant and sullen man who falls in love at first sight, and he is jealous and pursues his wife thousands of miles away. He is looking for love at every turn. . . . After watching this, a mouthful of blood actually stuck in my throat. . . What's more important is that when I read the text, I thought there would be at least a branch line of mother-daughter reconciliation and daughter-in-law's reflection. However, this line was not developed as well as the lead actor's family of origin. . . . . I really don't want to say the word "copywriting fraud", but I can basically go with the awakening of the middle-aged heroine in the copywriting. The author's treatment of this is very shallow, and it is difficult to even criticize the heroine's husband for his more bad qualities, and always retains the affectionate character (unbelievable...)

I came from Xiaohongshu and finished reading it quickly. The first chapter gave me a picture of the Sunshine Sisters searching for the heroine at home. Without the amnesia, the heroine might have been more frustrated. The forty-year-old heroine can't integrate into the English conversation between the father and daughter. Don't you know the hero? He enjoys talking to his daughter to embarrass the heroine. He also knows that socks shouldn't be thrown away like that, and he can also pick them up. The forty-year-old heroine gives in too much, so that they can't see the heroine's efforts. Nothing is taken for granted. You can come up with an if line. After the 40-year-old heroine got into a car accident, she found that her daughter didn't care about her at all, and her husband only asked why she wanted a divorce.
Rather than being unable to control the writing later, it is better to end it in time. The author made this decision very wisely, and it is a sign of responsibility for the work. [Glasses] Looking forward to the extra episode
I feel like the ending is too rushed
Celebrities I once fanned just became like that after they got married and lost their halo. It's really disappointing. As expected, that's all.
Such a beautiful girl cannot escape marriage 😭
I think there is no bad ending. This is the best ending. Otherwise, it would be easy to fall into a cliche. How should I put it, it points out the constraints and smoothness of marriage for women. I am already very aware of the unmarried age.
There is no description of the 40-year-old heroine. I think the 40-year-old heroine is also very pitiful.
