Although it can be satisfying when the antagonists get in trouble and pay for their crimes... honestly, it was a little too much IMO. The consequences were too heavy for the actual crime committed. Her mother was weak and easily manipulated, which was too bad as it seemed like she actually might go against the original plot. Actually, I think she might have if the MC gave her any encouragement, but she had already written off her Jiang relatives from the beginning, knowing what happened in the book. The sister... she did some low level bad deeds, but it made it sound as if she manipulated the guys into their serious crimes, and I didn’t see that at all. Her fate was particularly harsh, and the author at times made her a very sympathetic character. She was quite strong to persevere in the face of her illness and constantly getting attacked, but it was all futile. The brother was absolute crap, and deserved what he got. No brain at all, it should have been relatively easy to advertise for a kidney and make the reward enough to get a few takers. I understand it’s illegal, but you could do it in another country or handle things privately - mu*der is a lot more risky and illegal. Anyway, I think that if they just revealed the truth of the girls’ parentage, that was enough. Actively persecuting the Jiangs was somewhat of the impetus for pushing them into the crazy crap they did. For the mom, Jiang Li doesn’t have to forgive her, but being mocking and rude came off as cruel.
[collapse]I did like the family aspects and the ML’s careful chasing. The MC moves steadily forward and excels at most everything, but she works hard and isn’t one of those geniuses that somehow has skills that would be impossible to acquire without multiple lifetimes of training. If you like a merciless way of dealing with antagonists, you’ll probably like this story. It’s not bad, but don’t expect a great novel either.SpoilerI did wish the third uncle found a partner.
