We're Divorced Already, Can't You Let Me Enjoy My Youth?

Having read over 50 chapters so far, to be frank, the male protagonist is the one with more problems in his family relationships. "Home isn't a place for arguing"—I don't know where I saw this quote, but at first I found it hilarious and cringeworthy. Damn, my mom really isn't reasonable at all! However, my personal understanding is that this quote means: home isn't a place for arguments, but a place to cultivate relationships and provide companionship. The male protagonist repeatedly mentions and reminisces about how hard he works to support his family, while his daughter squanders his money and even tries to sabotage him (by being unambitious and interfering in his personal relationships). But thinking about it from another perspective, why are the two women...

I've read about half of it. The male lead's family education might be lacking; he's too realistic and rational, to put it bluntly, too ruthless. The other characters are well-developed. I won't comment on the book itself—there are already many long reviews—I just want to advise everyone not to read the reader comments. They're all about the daughter being selfish, which is too abstract. My parents are also divorced, and the situation is very similar. My dad is rich and owns houses; he used to run a business and bought many properties. My mom is also quite good; she works for a state-owned enterprise and earns about 10,000 yuan a month. At the time of the divorce, they each got a house, and that was about it. My dad also doesn't ask questions or interfere in anything. Most of the comments section show that they still spend their parents' money...

This book is very well written, and to some extent, it realistically portrays the conflicts between parents and children, especially fathers and daughters, in contemporary society. During the reading process, I disagreed with some readers on certain issues, and I'd like to share some thoughts through this review. The main disagreement lies in the evaluation of the two daughters. Some readers strongly dislike them. Admittedly, their eccentric and mischievous traits make them unlikable to many. However, if we look at the whole book, we'll find that the two daughters' personalities are not one-dimensional or stereotypical, but rather multifaceted and complex. For example...

I'm only following this one book on Pineapple Bun, and even though the coupons I got have expired, there haven't been any updates.

I read this on a recommendation from a friend in a group chat. I'd seen the title on the list before but hadn't clicked on it. Later, someone else recommended it, so I watched it carefully and finished it in an hour. Here are my impressions: First, the male lead. I personally really like this kind of rational yet detached male character. His gentleness isn't expressed in words, but is always conveyed through his actions—a deep expression of emotion. Second, for me, this genre is quite novel. It doesn't involve time travel; the protagonist faces old relationships with a new identity. The confrontation and clashes between these relationships are very compelling. Third, what I think is the author's greatest strength is their handling of relationships...

I've read up to chapter 66 so far, and I feel suffocated by the current situation. I must say the author's portrayal of the ex-wife is truly excellent; she's left a deep impression on me. The ex-wife is a very timid person who chooses to escape from problems. Frankly, this isn't a good approach; there are many better options, but escape is the easiest. She feels powerless in the face of her current situation, all her frustration and resentment manifesting as tightly clenched fists. It's painful; she desperately wants to change things, but after racking her brains, all that's left is helplessness. Her large apartment of over 100 square meters has become staff quarters, her fashionable clothes have become faded work uniforms…

Seeing his shrunken ex-wife is giving me a headache, not just him. Rather than stomach aches, I'd much rather see the sweet, everyday moments between the male lead and his boss.

Rest today, get some sleep early, and welcome the beautiful May Day holiday.

Can you write tens of thousands more words about the ex-wife, torture Mint a few more words, let the colleague's daughter belittle you a few more words, and then give it a bad ending?

So far, the most logically coherent character is actually the eldest daughter. Her initial attempts to facilitate remarriage and prevent the male lead from finding a stepmother stemmed primarily from the fact that her biological mother wasn't a bad person, and the divorce wasn't due to her mother's betrayal; she even regretted it afterward. Later, her relationship with her father, Lily, which lasted a month and involved one major conflict, shows that she ultimately cares for the male lead. The second daughter, needless to say, is an abstract, parasitic character. Without opportunities for her to develop a tragic backstory, she'll likely just be a mascot used to trigger events. Then there's Mint and Xu. The former is a fairly stereotypical character, with a background similar to the male lead's; until her turn...
