[Gentle, independent young lady of a distinguished family x sensitive, melancholy scholar and young master. Together, they strive to build an ideal society!]
Lang Wenxun has just returned from studying in England when her family arranges an engagement for her. Her match is the third young master of the Mo family in Jinling.
After the wedding, Lang Wenxun discovers that her husband knows how to stand up for himself, flirt, express his feelings, and defend her. He also cries a lot.
He's witty and respectful toward her. He has a bit of a young master's temper, but he's also considerate.
Lang Wenxun: Interesting.
Well, not entirely interesting.
The Mo family home is huge, and between her sisters-in-law and various relatives, everyone has their own agenda. In this great household, Wenxun learns how to get along with people and how to become a new-style bride in an old society.
If she's going to follow her own path, she can't give up her career.
Wenxun dusts off one of her old secret identities, creates another, and publishes acclaimed translations under her real name...
Lang Wenxun: The literary world? Piece of cake.
Everyone in Jinling's literary scene knows Mo Xiazhang has a short fuse. When word gets out that his family is forcing him to marry, people can't help but mock him.
"I bet they set him up with some old-fashioned wife with bound feet."
So what if she has bound feet? It's not like the girl chose it! What's truly hateful is having a bound mind!
Mo Xiazhang calls out his detractor by name and gives him a thorough dressing-down in the newspaper. Then he goes home, beaming at his wife.
How could outsiders understand how wonderful his wife is?
His wife, Lang Wenxun, is not only well versed in Western classics, but also cares deeply about her country. She's a gifted writer who can translate several languages.
They were already in love before they married. It's a perfect match, a marriage made in heaven!
To express his love, Mo Xiazhang even creates a secret identity and publishes love poems in the newspaper.
It's something he used to disdain.
Mo Xiazhang: Blushing.
There's just one thing. Why has someone in the newspaper been targeting him lately, calling him radical?
Wenxun is annoyed too. Why does that radical keep calling her conservative in the papers?
Lang Wenxun and Mo Xiazhang: What an idiot!
A few years later, the literary world discovers that the two secret identities constantly sniping at each other in the papers, and taking shots at everyone else too, belong to a married couple...
Literary world: We're doomed!
A few things to know:
1. They are each other's first love. Love at first sight for looks, and love that grows with time for who they really are.
2. Set in a fictional Republic of China in the early 1930s, a time of transition between old and new.
3. Both leads are university professors.
4. They care deeply about their country and oppose feudalism and oppression.
5. This couple's words can cut deep, and their writing hits just as hard.

I didn't expect that the first extra chapter would be Mrs. Mo Xie Xiaoyun. In fact, before I saw the Mo family, I had never paid attention to who the protagonist of the extra chapter was, because Xie Xiaoyun only appeared in a few words in the previous article. In the abyss of the Mo family, she had long lost her name, and she was only referred to as "Mrs. Mo" countless times. Her self and personality have been lost, and her appearance seems to be all for Xia Zhang. As a somewhat neurotic, silent and dignified old-style wife, I really can't make me feel good about her. However, this extra chapter allows me to see the once free and happy Xie Xiaoyun, a victim who was oppressed by the feudal society and couldn't breathe. The writing in big letters is really good 😭 This kind of autobiographical psychological analysis really pokes me 😭 You must keep writing, I really like the delicate and emotional stories written in big letters [Bi Xin] [Rose]
It's too little, I should have written two million words 😭 😭 😭 not enough
What Xie Xiaoyun's mother said reminded me of what Zhu Yingtai's mother said to her in the movie Butterfly Lovers
I originally thought there were more, but when I was writing about the Anti-Japanese War, I felt scared and uncomfortable, so I wanted to wait and read again. This morning, I found out that the main text was finished, and I looked at 550,000 words. I thought it was a lot when I read about 550,000 words. In fact, 55 words is not even a hundred chapters. Time flies really fast, and the text describes it faster. Wen Xunxia Zhang's Anti-Japanese War is still going on, and the future of New China is ahead [Spreading Flowers]
Is it because Mrs. Mo has been oppressed for so long that she starts to hate her without even realizing it?
I was so happy during the May Day holiday a few days ago. I missed Wenxun's birthday. I would like to add a happy birthday to Wenxun 💪 [Cake] 🎆
It's beautiful, because that period of history is sad but not sad. The optimism of our predecessors has always inspired us to move forward [Rose]
Hey, she is also a poor person
This book is really good to read, but I don't dare to read more because the story is really sad. I have to save a little and read it in one breath so that I don't feel particularly sad. Come on.
I once read an article about Ms. Eileen Chang's mother. I don't know if it's a fabrication, but I think Xiaoyun really looks like Eileen Chang's mother in that article.
