I was about to comment the same 😅

.. and suddenly.. the mother became Spring Lady 😅🤔 I thought a fairy suddenly talked with Baobao's dad 😅

The story is very interesting.. though there are hints on how the story will progress, the way the story is made will still make you guess 'what's next?'.. The character design and world background is cliche but still interesting to read.. I am so looking forward to the next chapters but I guess it will take quite sometime before it happens since we're still on halt at chapter 40. I would love to give it a higher rating but the updates are not yet stable and 40 chapters is too early to tell if it's worth of 5stars. On the more positive note, the progress is really interesting and I am sure many are looking forward to the next chapters.. 😊

Qiao Nan is so funny 🙄 "Qiao Nan, who is now a mother, understands Shi Peng's feelings." 😂🤣 She understands other father's feeling of concern but she doesn't care about her own father's feelings. 🤣😂 Should her father abandon the bad child (Zijin) just to favor her (Qiao Nan) the 'good child'? Really funny 🙄😏

At this point, I found Qiao Nan a hypocrite. She got so angry for Shi Qing's sake yet she didn't give up and 'understands' how Shi Qing is stubborn and will not listen but she gave up her father and have her hands-off to his situation 😅 I am not saying that she try to put up with her father's situation with Zijin but at least 'listen' to his explanation (re: Chap 1207). He just had his best intention not to burden Qiao Nan but she just brushed it off and doesn't care. So so ironic 🙄

Me too! I agree. Father Qiao is trying to do his best for both daughters - the good and the bad - but Nan Nan and the Zhai family think it's useless for him and he's muddle-headed. I am disappointed at Qiao Nan's behavior at this point. It's like she felt it's 'sacrifice' on her part. I feel sad for Qiao Dongliang 😢

Quiao Nan's father might not be the best - no father is perfect anyway. In my perspective, he is trying to at least make sure that despite his wife's attitude, he would like to keep the family harmonious. Yes, it's frustrating for us readers as we can see the 360 attitude of Old Ding and Ziyin but Father Dongliang hopes that both her daughters would have good relationship. Besides, who in their right mind as a father would sow discord between his children? 😅 Much as other people think that the parents should divorce and that Father Quiao just dotes on Quiao Nan, it's not that simple. He cannot just disregard his other daughter. Frustrating as it may seem but this happens in reality. To Father's Quiao's credit, he at least knew his wife's shortcomings and try to mend things for Quiao Nan.

Ah! The mystery is getting intense! Can't wait for the next chapter..

I can't even imagine a real living person as Lu Man's so-called father 🤦🏻‍♀️ Seriously, beyond redeemable. 🙄 His stupidity is beyond the galaxy 😂 Author, how much hate do you have in this world to make a character such as this? So incomprehensible! 🤣🤣

*Ke Qing

This Ye Qing... tsk tsk.. I am not sure if her brain is fried that is why it does not function properly.. 🤦🏻‍♀️ She likes attracting troubles because of her green-tea/white-lotus antics but still does not see the reality of gains and loses.. just because of greed and envy, she likes troubling herself.. Girl, you won't have peace.. 😅

I think most people are too focused that Qihai 'abandoned' his children. As readers, it's true that we can see what happening 'behind the scenes'. However, the characters are of course unaware of what 'really is happening around'. For example, Qi Hai completely trusted his mother to take care of his kids (which is very usual/common in Asian families). Faking his death is also for the sake and safety of his family (which he believed since his job is dangerous and realistically, if you value and care for your family, you might also do the same if you are in his position). It's frustrating to see how poor, neglected, and abandoned his children were, yes, however, I think it's too biased to let him carry all the blame. He has his shortcomings but the way his children are also 'mistreating' him by ignoring and 'taking a revenge on him with their antics' at their VERY young age (lit: age ten and below) is also unfair.

Legally speaking, Jingzhe, if you truly divorce Qihai, the children cannot be with you since you are not their biological mother.. I know you're a dunce and slow when it comes to relationships but please, you came from modern times and I am sure you perfectly know that you cannot be related with those adorable children once you divorce Qihai.. so DON'T

I feel so sad for Shao Qihai.. 😥 I am not so sure about where the author would like to bring this but I think it's too rude and blunt to make Qihai be treated like this. Sure he faked his death, sure he has not told them everything.. but I think he at least deserve to be heard. 😥 His job is top-secret, that happens in reality as well. I think it is unfair that the author just let everyone misunderstood him even his own children. I am not sure if I am just being biased but even at the very beginning, I shipped Jingzhe and him even though the author is too busy building up Buwang..

Grandma, you're the best! 👏👍🏼🥰

ah! what a lovely child you are, Jiu~ 🥰

Su Jiu.. you're an angel! 🥰

Ah! So sad that I cannot move to the next chapter yet.. need to save my passes. I hope that this story will keep on progressing.. had read the mtl but it's still best to read a finely translated one~ 😊 Big thanks to our dear translator~

Xie Hue Lin needed a brain transplant.. seriously 😒 Does her brain only have 'stupid' ideas in ruining Li Lian. She is that insecure? Oh well.. what 'brilliant' ideas can we expect from a rotten brain 🤦‍♀️

we are already in this chapter and the FL is still suffering. doesn't she deserve to have a happy life? sigh~ 😔😔😔
