The protagonist's mother died of anger. He says, "It's okay, she wasn't in good health, everyone dies eventually." His fiancée was stolen away. He says, "It's okay, respect her choice, just consider it not meant to be." His reputation is ruined. He says, "It's okay, we're not even close, reputation doesn't pay the bills." He's targeted in life.
A grudge spanning nine generations is still worth avenging. Having transmigrated into someone else's body means accepting the consequences; even my own mother died of anger—would I be human if I didn't seek revenge?
Can those writers of stories about courtyard houses use their brains? They're always saying the blind date is Qin Huairu, and then either Qin Huairu is a gold digger or Yi Tianzun intervenes, helping his disciple Jia Dongxu marry Qin Huairu. In today's world, this would be a recipe for disaster, let alone back then! He'd be killed, and everyone around would applaud.
My wife was snatched away, I was slandered, Yi Zhonghai targeted me at the factory, my mother was so angry she died, and my spoon was shaken when I was getting food... Protagonist: I choose to be a coward! The new wife is being pursued and harassed by another man. Main character: I won't cause trouble. Let them come to my door and we'll see. I'm really not afraid of my new wife being raped.
The protagonist is a loser... He's been bullied from the beginning until now. The only time she retaliated was when Jia Zhangshi stole the protagonist's money. As a result, the protagonist chose to forgive. There's no need to be confrontational, but this kind of person whose reputation is ruined—a divorced woman with a child introduced by a matchmaker—is a doormat. Is this interesting?
This protagonist is such a spineless coward, yet he makes excuses by saying he's seen through it all and doesn't care. They've been ripping and peeing on his head, and he still says he's seen through it and doesn't care?
There's no need to be angry; perhaps the author was writing based on their own experience! It's so pitiful. 😢
I really admire the author; how could they write such a disgusting novel?
Seriously, I'm speechless. He already has three wives, and he's still hooking up with widows. And after "The Wind Rises," he's hooking up with four more widows! Even Qin Huairu's mother would be furious if she could...
Such a pure cowardly protagonist is rare even on Qidian.
