Spoilers !! (Haven't completed the novel) (Meant for shits and giggles !!- not to be taken seriously) Initially had no idea what the synopsis really meant but tried this anyways. There's only 120 chapters? That's pretty short- nvm it dragged on after like chapter 40. Anyways the chapters are pretty long BUT the translation was sooooo questionable after chapter 20. Definitely gives mtling then claiming it's translation. (Pronoun mixed up, Chinese phrases being directly translated so extremely awkward without initial knowledge (I am Chinese), names and things like MC being called daughter-in-law then son-in-law) NEXT UP, I am Chinese and the An family's relationship with each other is extremely realistic for a Chinese family- or at least mine. Things would happen and I'd go: "Something my parent's would do!" Doesn't mean they're a bad family, Chinese parents want the best life for their children and they believe the best way they'd achieve it is through education. So in turn they want to give the best opportunities for their talented children so they don't 'waste' that talent and regret it later on. This is the case for MC's eldest sister and younger brother who both are naturally talented and clever whereas the MC lacks in the academic department. He's not a bad student, just average, and that sticks out next to his high achieving siblings. As a result, the parent's don't have any expectations for him and only wish he can earn a proper living. Either intentionally or accidentally they neglect the MC causing him to grow up with an inferiority complex that he grows accustomed to as he grows up. I believe that the ML can see this and doesn't want the MC to be around his parents. The Parent's are hardworking people who want to give the best to their children- including MC- and are super disappointed when they found out he dropped out of school and was cheated into marrying some guy (Defo thought ML was a predator lol- which is reasonable) After maybe 50 chapters (?) when it's revealed to MC's parents he's pregnant, I developed a genuinely dislike towards his parents- especially his mother. It's always 'wealthy family' this, 'wealthy family' this. I'm sick of it. They're a wealthy family, yes, but they're also your son's in-law. They're much more than just your boss or an aristocratic family you'd admire online. I can imagine what the Parent's feel- their son who they worry about over getting a job, being financially stable, had received an 'easy way out' handed to him on a silver plate. There's genuine happiness for him, but it's not truly from the heart- MC's mother even wonder how it'd be if their eldest daughter (Whom they're extremely proud of even to the point they send her to an American uni for her masters (?) or holiday while their second son has to do odd part-time jobs to earn money and not put a strain on their tight finances.) married the ML. Spoilers they'd be extremely proud and over the money.I'll finish this when I remember too :P
