I hate misunderstanding trope so much. If they just even talk and clear themselves then I won't have to go through all that pain (they were adults for Christ's sake). The novel was hella hella confusing and annoying but I can't understand why I can't put down this book, I really stayed till the end.
I started reading this one cause I thought the drama was based on the novel. I kept thinking how on earth will Zhang Linghe and Wang Churan act and portray this one out? Good thing the drama won't be following this sht (thanks to that good soul who told me on Tiktok—the drama will jusr retain the names but will not follow the story)
