I have read the raws, and I am currently in a situation where I want to drop the novel. The FL is actually from the Ye family, and is their true granddaughter. ML's mother, Ye Shuyun, is an adopted daughter of the Ye family [so FL and ML are not related by blood]. The FL's mother was kidnapped at 19? years old and stolen away from the Ye family. In future chapters, ML and FL get married [secretly] due to some circumstances. Ye Shuyun knows this, but ML hasn't told her who her daughter-in-law is. To become stronger, the FL decides to become a female soldier and takes a break from her acting career for 1 year, after winning the best actress award. During this time period, ML faithfully looks after his wife and visits her every week at the army. Around 4 months before FL has finished her training, Grandfather Lu decides he wants the ML to marry a woman from a military background family, Miao Xinyuan. ML finally tells Grandfather Lu he can't because he's already married. Old c*nt Lu whips the ML without mercy, sending him to the hospital [only stopping due to Grandfather Ye's reminder that ML has a rare blood type and may die due to blood loss]. Obviously, the new b*tch [Miao Xinyuan] has taken an unhealthy amount of interest in the ML and wants him at all costs. However, ML pays no heed to her pandering. And this is exactly what I hate about him: he never refuses a woman, no matter how badly he is treated or however much he needs to for the sake of preventing future disasters. Honestly, this non-confrontational aspect of his personality makes me loathe him, and it is definitely all his fault for not preventing the issues that occur in the future, where the FL suffers because of his inaction. The new b*tch goes crazy because the ML doesn't want her. ML is driving her somewhere, and she decides she wants to drive instead. Crazy b*tch accelerates to high speeds, trying to threaten the ML into being with her. However [and f*cking obviously] she almost crashes into people, and ML saves both of them, sending him to the hospital in critical condition. ML is in need of blood, FL drops everything and comes, giving him 1300cc of her blood. However, when he's safe, his family pays no heed to FL's condition, and ignore her. Feeling abandoned and broken [because she knows ML is in this condition from saving a woman] FL returns to the army to complete her training. ML awakens, and follows her to the army to explain himself. ML could have convicted the crazy b*tch because he had enough proof and actual footage of what had occurred. But he doesn't. Because the Lu family "owes" the Miao family, and this makes them "even". ML and FL kind of make up in the army. Then, the crazy b*tch comes and inserts herself because she wants to follow the ML. Crazy b*tch becomes jealous of the FL and ML's relationship, and decides to "discipline" the FL without the ML's knowledge. Beaten to a pulp every week, the FL finally fights back when her mother is mentioned. Finally defeating crazy b*tch, she turns around and leaves. Crazy b*tch is unreconciled and decides to deliver a lethal blow to FL's head in an attempt to actually kill her. ML stops her in time. However, during those beatings by crazy b*tch, the FL was kicked in the stomach. A doctor reports to the ML that the FL may never have children and now has fertility issues due to the kick. ML decides to not tell FL, and finally decides to convict the crazy b*tch. I know that the crazy b*tch is the one who did the actions, and ML is not directly to blame. But he indirectly allows all of this behaviour because he never speaks up, and firmly stands his ground. He lets all and any women step all over him, and eventually, that causes the FL to take the brunt of the consequences. I can't stand an ML like this. I hate his mother too. She persistently disregards the ML's feelings and tries to matchmake him with any and every woman she can get her hands on. Because she selfishly wishes for a grandchild. However, what will she do when FL can't give her one? Imagine. On top of that, the ML's mother owes so much to the FL's mother for actually giving her the opportunity to live well. annoying, disappointing story. I have read up to chapter 400.

LIKEI agree with you about the ML's attitude. I really felt sad when the doctor announced that the FL may not be able to get pregnant, though I'm still hoping that she will have a daughter (just like in her previous life). I stopped at CH. 409 and ML told FL that he sued the crazy b*tch. Sigh, I was actually happy for FL when she finally had a family she could lean on and things started to get better for her. Sadly, that incident happened and she'd suffered again. 😢 I'd still give it a chance, though. Maybe a hundred more chapters before I decide whether to drop it or not.
