This story is SO much deeper than a lot of the low raters understand. Those who dropped this before reaching the end have no idea just how deep the connection between all these characters are, nor do they understand just how awesome of a main character Leyao is. Honestly, for the first 90 or so chapters this is just a sweet, light hearted story about a loving family of melon eaters. They love gossip just a little less than they love each other.As the story progresses there are little hints here and there that things with Leyao are not quite what they seem, but I was not at all prepared for how deep the plot twist was. When I tell you, the last few main chapters of this story had me ugly crying. I rarely cry at novels or movies or anything, but I was fully sobbing. Considering how lighthearted the whole novel had been up to that point, the sudden emotions were like a gut punch. The story has a happy ending, don't worry, but those last ten chapters really highlight why that journey to happiness was so incredibly hard for everyone to achieve. I really have to praise this author for the plot twist and the emotions packed into the last chapters.Really, I want to beg people to ignore all the misguided review bombs and give this novel a chance. It is so worth it and it is so much deeper than it appears to be.
