To elope with Jiang Wangshu, the wealthy young master, Duan Xiuze, stole his household registration book and ran away from home. After marriage, he plucked the stars from the sky, held them in his palms and gave them all to Jiang Wangshu.
But alas, the good times didn’t last long. Duan Xiuze had a car accident and lost his memory. All that’s left was the time from when he was 17, back when he and Jiang Wangshu were still bitter enemies.
Jiang Wangshu thought it’d be fine if he lost his memory. He was confident in making the other party fall in love with him again.
However, Duan Xiuze found him immediately after he was discharged and wanted to divorce him. He threatened by saying, “The 23-year-old Duan Xiuze must’ve been bewildered by Gu to marry you. Aren’t I just a pure and innocent high schooler?”
Jiang Wang scoffed and agreed to the divorce on the spot. “Friendly reminder, we signed a prenup. You have to leave everything if you want to file for a divorce.”
Duan Xiuze was dumbstruck — What the hell? Is he out of his mind?
But for the sake of his innocence, he gritted his teeth and left.
After the divorce, Jiang Wangshu received a huge sum of money, he was even followed by a small fresh meat. That day, he gave the little wolfdog a private birthday party. He was so comfortable, he completely forgot he had an ex-husband.
Duan Xiuze returned to freedom and was so happy, he set off fireworks at his door for three days straight.
When asked if he would regret it, he said with a serious face, “I have a deep-rooted hatred for Jiang Wangshu. At the age of seven, I vowed that I would never shake hands nor make peace with him. Ever.”
When this remark reached Jiang Wangshu’s ears, he sneered and sent a message asking, “Deep-rooted hatred? For exposing that you wet your bed?”
Duan Xiuze was so angry, he broke his phone. He really hated Jiang Wangshu. He swore he’d never regret his divorce in his life.
Later, Duan Xiuze’s search history gradually increased ——
“How can I cut off my ex-husband’s peach blossoms without appearing like I want him back?”
“Is a man’s self-esteem important?”
…
“How to win the heart of a prodigal ex-husband?”
“What kind of washboard is comfortable to kneel on?”
A point I disliked was the MC's conditional love. He fell in love with the ML because of his calmness and maturity, which also influenced his acceptance of the divorce. Like others in their world, he didn't believe their love would last. The fact that the MC only loved the ML after he changed due to his parents' actions and his own guilt made me question the depth of their bond. It seemed like their love was predicated on external circumstances.
The revelation about the ML's father's illegitimate child, whose drowning incident later affected the ML's personality, further complicated matters. The MC's love for the ML after these events made me wonder if their connection was truly genuine or just a reaction to a specific situation.
The MC isn't particularly endearing, with his calm demeanor being the main trait. However, one standout scene was the MC's flashback when he first noticed the ML after his transformation. It was a rare moment where I felt hopeful for their relationship. In a camping trip, the ML proposed running away, and despite initial doubts, the MC agreed, marking a small step towards their love. Generally, the ML took the lead in pursuing their connection.
Overall, the novel is average. It doesn't provide the same level of entertainment as some others, but it's not terrible either. Just don't expect too much from it.
配角们各有特色，我喜欢他们，希望每个人都能有个美满结局。而且这部作品出自《他的国》作者之手，这是一大亮点。
目前我会给它打四分，但为了平衡评分，我决定给它满分五分。
