Writing about two main characters in one book is no easy task. The common dual-protagonist setting is usually the relationship between brothers in martial arts novels or lovers in romance novels, and it is very rare to see a mother-son relationship. "A Poor Mother and Son" is set as an ancient romance novel, but it is about family affection, not love.
I haven't read much, but some parts are too presumptuous! Before mechanization, cloth wasn't cheap; some impoverished families might have several brothers sharing a single set of clothes! Most farmers, including small landowners, wore patched-up clothes! Even if clothes were too small, they would be altered; it was impossible to give away good clothes to unfamiliar strangers!
This is the only story so far where I've seen a female lead who is so strong yet doesn't annoy me. She's not arrogant, pushy, haughty, or blindly conceited; she doesn't have any "white lotus" traits, and the language is relaxed and natural.
Can't it be uploaded if the data isn't good? This is purely out of love! 🥺
I've found some readers particularly amusing; they're brainless themselves but insist on calling others idiots. I've summarized four points; please see if you fit any of them: 1. After reading the synopsis, some questioned why the mother and son didn't recognize each other. The entire synopsis was used to question the first half of the book. If you know the answer to a problem is 5, can you tell if the problem is 1+4 or 2+3?
Why is it always free? I'm a little embarrassed to watch this.
One question is, the female lead has already become an official and has a certain amount of power, so why doesn't she investigate her biological child? He didn't even investigate. Doesn't she find it strange that the people around her are familiar with her?
After reading over 60 chapters, I feel the female lead discriminates against women. For example, she sees young men as straightforward and women as troublesome, and she previously refused to hire women, etc.
It's so rare to find such a wonderful story completely free. This is truly a priceless treasure!
I always feel like the female lead has some kind of intelligence-lowering aura about others. People in ancient times weren't that stupid, were they?
