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)

red flag… hated it. i understand the setting but was it supposed to be this annoying, well i did not expect anything when i wanted to read it bcs i heard it was going to be adapted into a drama.

One main reason why the story left a bitter experience for me (spoiler):
Lack of communication between the ML and FL. ML was always lashing towards the FL and the FL herself just gave in with everything the ML did to her. It was honestly so draining that i could feel it too! ML is just so so so annoying, he’s short tempered and very unfaithful to FL. I don’t feel the love was real like how he claimed it was. overall, ML was just a fuck boy….

This was just so sad.

I hope the drama isn't like the book.
