It really disappoints me with the amount of people that call this story racist. It really is a culture difference that many people can’t understand. In many asian countries such as China pale skin represents beauty. It’s not that they’re trying to be racist but because of their history. In ancient China dark skin girls were the commoners who worked in the fields while light skin represents the elites who had the privilege to just stay at home and learn many different skills that are expected of a wife. So naturally these pale skin girls are more graceful because of the environment they grew up in. As time went on white pale skin is just seen as beauty. From my personal experience, I used to live in California, there I just wanted to be tan. Cuz everyone just sees tan skin as beautiful. I would often get questions like why or how are u so pale. I didn’t really care much but at the same time I always wanted to be more tan. However, when I moved to New York there were more asian immigrants around me where in their country pale white skin is seen as beauty. At that time I really started seeing the big culture difference. In some parts of the world people would go out to tan and in other parts no matter how hot it is they will cover themselves because they want to be pale. This story really is not racist from my perspective. If anyone hasn’t noticed almost all the female leads in Webnovel are described to have white, pale skin. This is not them trying to be racist or diss dark skin people but because in their culture pale, white skin is beautiful. I recommend that people have an open mind while reading these stories and not to take every word written in the story to heart. Sometimes there are just many phrases from China that are almost impossible to describe in English so the actual meaning is changed too. This really is a great novel so I hope many of u can see past the culture difference and enjoy the novel as it is.

I decided to try this story from reading the synopsis. However, I am dropping this story due to the rude, ignorant and racist statements made on people of colour. It's like a huge sin to be anything but white or light skin that in itself is blatant discrimination and has very negative connotations to it. So in order to get SS points, I am giving this review. Whenever it comes to race etc. I think about one main thing among several which is the human body. When someone is ill and requires a blood transfusion or body part transplant it cannot discriminate against a person's colour, wealth, educational status, personality, at times age or sex especially when it comes to saving a life. Because its a HUMAN LIFE, a person is who wants to live approaching the thread of death is unlikely to refuse it because the donor so happens to be a person of colour as it is "ugly and may pollute them". The greatest contributions made in this world to progress where it is was not made by one race, country or gender alone it was made by all. A lot of racists seem to have selective memory about that. As a matter of fact the African continent is considered the home of the oldest civilisation and contributed extensively to the world's present. So it is very insulting to say the least to write stories of this nature when the readers at these websites are not limited to one race, country or gender. You also have to look on it another way in terms of SS - $$ knows only one purpose - it pays the bill regardless of the sender. My 15 minutes with this novel came and ended, one of the fastest drops I have done without hesitating. Personally, I would prefer that this story and similar ones is removed from the site but its highly unlikely.
