After Becoming the Short-Lived Female Lead

The Xu family is shameless. They even pocketed the money their father gave to their parents as filial piety, and now, with their second son dead, they're leeching off their granddaughter? The eldest son's family has received so much benefit, yet they show no gratitude whatsoever. From the oldest to the youngest, they're all equally shameless.

The plot is so melodramatic, it makes me feel so upset. In the original novel that Lan Yin had read, the Zhou family was a great yet tragic entity. It is undeniable that sending spies to enemy countries to gather intelligence is a patriotic act, but this is on the premise that the King of Wu was the former crown prince. The Zhou family itself was caught in the game of power.

Xu's father is a complete failure, a scumbag. I suspect he appeared to give the female lead the identity of an official's daughter to secure a marriage and enhance her reputation, but his actions are truly appalling. The living can never compare to the dead; he only thinks of the good aspects of the deceased to prove his own goodness, especially with the national cause and the need to preserve…

I'd like to invest in the author's books; I hope they'll be completed on schedule. The author's books are of very high quality.

I've been waiting for this for so many days, why isn't this whole thing with Xu's father over yet? I've been thinking for days about how to handle this situation with Qin Shi, but after imagining so many options, it's always Qin Shi who ends up feeling wronged, while Xu's father doesn't have to pay any punishment or price, and this affair is even justified. So I'm really upset!

I cannot agree with the female protagonist's idea. What's so great about the daughter surnamed Zhou (did she save people without expecting anything in return, or did she save the country)? According to the female protagonist's logic: if the emperor worries about the people every day, then his sons, parents, wife, concubines, etc., Are all great.

I didn't find Xu's father particularly noble. Ultimately, he was a secret guard for the Zhou family, not the nation. His role as a spy was to investigate the Crown Prince's enemies. His touching story with the mistress disgusted me. What's with the claim that Zhou Xin couldn't let anyone know she was a virgin, so she forced Xu's father to lose her virginity?

Xu's father's story teaches us a lesson: Don't take a man's words of love too seriously, because his love for you doesn't prevent him from sleeping with other women and having children.

Xu Qingyan even wanted his parents to live with Qin Shi—unbelievable! Xu Lanyin had finally managed to get rid of this old oddball. Poor Qin Shi.

It's better if we just go our separate ways and keep some beautiful memories. Sigh...
