== impression as of ch 30 == Su Wan and Jing Chen are in a contract marriage for 3 years. Jing Chen disclosed that he has somebody he already likes but will still treat her well and may possibly stay in the marriage if things changes in that 3 years. Jing Chen's actions makes Su Wan feel like he truly likes her but he suddenly asks for divorce on their 2nd year anniversary. Su Wan decides to keep her pregnancy a secret. What this story has is the typical contract marriage, two faced first love, female lead in love with male lead for xx number of years, and eventual regret of male lead. What I dislike the most is the male lead's disrespect of her. Yes, he disclosed that he liked someone else but he could still wait after his divorce to flaunt his side love all he wants. He doesn't need to call her names like "leftovers" or get jealous because that's not his right anymore. If he wants that respect, he shouldn't have put her in that position. We already know that he probably fell in love with female lead somewhere in their 2 years cause how can one treat another so well without some sort of good feelings? So all he does now is act all jealous. Wish that female lead can grow a bit more of a backbone for herself without the focus of the novel being too much about their love and who gets in their way (can get a bit boring in the long run if it has a lot of chapters). But this isn't such a horrible read, just not enough spunk of its own to make the characters more likable.
I hate stories where the ML is abusive to the woman (verbally or physically) or super cold to her when they're married or in a contract relationship, and then when they break up, he realizes his feelings and tries to get her back. That's being an a**whole. Saying that he would make her get rid of the baby if she was pregnant makes him scum on earth. I rly hope this story doesn't get picked.
Chapter 177 ...Up to this far the villain aka mistress still has a good life while the wife is as good as dead. always getting hurt plus a man who is indecisive. I loved this book thinking she was strong only to realise women like her are bad influence to the youth...inspiring one to withstand abuse simply because they used to love.
there's no story development till 51th chapter, i mean they are stuck at the decision of divorce, she should have gotten divorce and there should be more to develop and show in the story but no they are just going back and forth. and idk how you can make them a couple later as in ml's words he was *faking* it all this time. so how can someone or anyone trust this type of person. once a trust is broken it is not possible to mend it, specially this kind of.
This story is repeated over and over again. Why does writers keep copying this story? Only the title is different but the story is still the same. The FL is stupid and weak woman and the ML has something wrong with his brain, is it right for a married man to be concerned about another woman infront of his wife, family and people of the public? A decent,matured,responsible and righteous man wouldn't do that.
I am so disappointed with the story must the FL be treated with such disdain and hatred. It's emotional abuse and makes me rate the novel low. The story so far is totally different from the synopsis .I can't get myself to finish it. I am sorry authour but I can't just bring myself to like this book.
I tried to give this book a chance but I absolutely hate when the FL goes back to the disgusting ML who treated them like trash. Why should they go back into a situation that caused them nothing but pain just because the ML suddenly had feelings for her? The mother-in-law and grandpa are my fav characters.
