   Curator note

   This isn't directed at the specific story, but rather at the male-centric concept of pregnancy... Childbirth is inherently a female-only ability (at least for now). Isn't it ridiculous to use this to torment men? I've never seen a man write a novel about tormenting women by giving them a penis and then castrating them. If you can't even accept your own characteristics, and you use them to torment others, who do you expect to understand you? This kind of use of pregnancy to torment men only reinforces the stereotype that the pregnant woman equals the weaker party, binding the one who gives birth to you to a subservient position. What else does it achieve? In my opinion, this is quite a "spiritual" man who doesn't acknowledge the greatness of childbirth, only thinking that he'd be happy if he could get someone pregnant...

She's tormented for 700,000 of them, and in the final 100,000, the heroine reconciles with her past, stays true to love, and gets a happy ending with the male lead.

5. 5 引 Letting the Wolf In 引狼入室 Bi Hui璧辉Romance791k WordsCompleted Cheng Yanjin didn't like the woman he was engaged to. He fancifully coaxed his fiancée, Lin Langyi, into accepting an open marriage, afraid she'd keep him on a tight leash after they married. He even thoughtfully introduced her to his friend Yuan Chuyu, the most celebrated young elite in their social circle, to prove he was sincere. Yuan Chuyu glanced at her, then calmly looked away. He didn't look at Lin Langyi again for the rest of the dinner. He said, “I'm not interested in someone else's f 118kFavorites114kClicks/ch82.7kGifts

   Curator note

   The male lead always has to be coaxed (the tsundere attitude is outdated). The second male lead is strong, and the female lead is repeatedly shown unable to resist, which is ridiculous. The female lead's family is patriarchal and she feels stifled. She has no female friends and needs to actively integrate into the male supporting characters' social circles, only to be rejected by them. Her revenge doesn't even reach the male supporting characters, and she inexplicably feels sorry for them for not having a biological mother. The male supporting character sleeps with the female lead while she's drunk, and the female lead keeps defending him. I just laughed; it's ridiculous.

   He turned her around, pressing her upper body against the platform, and then lifted her skirt. He didn't leave until a full hour later. Jiang Yuechi glanced down, somewhat indignant: "You weren't wearing it just now!" The narrow space was filled with a strong scent of photinia flowers. He washed his hands several times, saying nonchalantly, "If I get pregnant, I'll give birth. Even if it's not my only child, it will be my first. I will raise it responsibly." Jiang Yuechi was unusually angry: "Why didn't you ask me if I wanted to?" He looked up, gave a cold laugh, and calmly asked her, "Why don't you want to?" Yes, there are countless people who want to sleep with him, and even more who want to have his children. Jiang Yuechi gritted her teeth, but her clenched fist eventually loosened. Forget it, there's no point in reasoning with this person. In his world, he is the only logic. After three years, she had long since come to understand what kind of person he was. Jiang Yuechi resigned herself to her fate and went into the room. After washing herself with water, she took emergency contraception. I'm absolutely baffled as to why anyone would recommend this kind of book to my reading list. I'm completely baffled, I find it utterly incomprehensible, I'm going crazy! Do I look like someone who likes this kind of book? I'm going insane. I already find this kind of stuff annoying.

    Female-centric, subservient fiction. The female lead provides weapons and provisions to support the male lead's ascension to the throne, and she even believes she's supporting him. This is a classic tale, perhaps only those who don't care about money or power would enjoy it. The female lead, especially the black female character, has a significant role.

The female lead says yes, and the male supporting character pinches her waist and says, "Sister's waist is even more flexible." The female supporting character, standing nearby, thinks, "Oh my god, he's so good at this!" Oh my god, don't disgust me! Am I some kind of despicable person?

    It's a story that torments the male lead, but it also torments the female lead. Actually, the male lead's suffering is well-written, with car accidents and suicide attempts. But the female lead's fate is just too tragic. A story so intensely torments the male lead that it drives her to insanity and causes her a host of mental illnesses? After finishing "Old Marriage," the female lead only felt a little better towards the end, and even then, she had another breakdown. She's basically a half-dead, mentally ill person. I can't ignore her suffering and derive satisfaction from the male lead's pain. I opened the comments section, puzzled, and saw someone asking the same question as me: Why torture the female lead like this? The author replied: "The 'completely scumbag' character design doesn't feel as compelling anymore. There needs to be some kind of backstory or motivation for the female lead to be attractive." I:? Me: I rubbed my forehead and gave a wry smile. I can accept a female lead who is beautiful, strong, and tragic, but I prefer one with a stable core who can rise from the ashes even after a breakdown, rather than someone like in the story who says "the male lead is her cure." That kind of talk is fine as a joke, but if the female lead is genuinely mentally ill, I'd literally be devastated.

    There was this disgusting guy named "Dirty Cucumber" who tricked the female lead into touching his penis. He even talked to her about "burning" and said things like "not including the head (referring to a 19-year-old's penis)." He's such a realistically repulsive guy. Earlier in the story, there's a description of the female lead's humble, crush on the school heartthrob. Hmm, maybe some people will enjoy this kind of relatable, ordinary-girl perspective.

    The female lead is utterly pathetic except when she's sleeping with men, making it exhausting to read. Those who like Not My Type's honest male characters might enjoy this one. And it's not that I'm a gender-swap fan; I have absolutely no problem with the female lead being a scumbag, deceiving men and exploiting them. I'd even applaud her if she drained men dry and then scattered their ashes. It's just that childbirth is indeed a female-only ability, and using that to torment men... Well, I find it hard to judge.

    While the male lead's licking was undeniably laughable, the female lead clearly didn't want him. His relentless pursuit and the second male lead's constant questioning, coupled with the significant gap in social status between the female lead and the male supporting characters, made the situation unbearable. This caused the female lead to become completely helpless, and the cutthroat competition between the male leads negatively impacted her career. She was so frustrated for most of the book that she cried, and yet some people still say she wasn't aggrieved. How are you any different from parents who say "We're doing this for your own good" but ignore their children's wishes? Thankfully, the female lead eventually managed to unleash her true nature.
