Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

Despite having found Mingxi, the Zhao family continued to favor the fake daughter, saying that Mingxi was not as kind nor as graceful as Zhao Yuan.

Mingxi didn’t mind. She continued to work hard to please her family although they would always say that she was trying to rob their attention away from Zhao Yuan.

Until she died because of a terminal illness.

It was then that she realized that Zhao Yuan was the actual lady blessed by luck while she was merely this novel’s evil supporting character with a tragic ending.

Zhao Mingxi who was given a second chance at life was bitterly disappointed. She no longer cared about her family. Screw her family and her fiancé. She immediately packed her bags and left home, off to complete the task given by the system named ‘Becoming Friends With Popular and Valuable Characters’.

After she left, the house suddenly became cold and quiet.

By right they should feel at ease, but–

Her parents, her indifferent elder brother, her brash younger brother, Shen Liyao who was used to her pursuits were all successively feeling… unused to it?

Top marks all around. It's the best take on the switched at birth returning to the biological family and dealing with the cuckoo that's trying to keep her place in the nest that I've seen.

The dynamics really ring true, unlike say "The Legitimate Daughter Doesn't Care", The MC does care quite a bit but bites down and makes hard choices with a very believable motivation.

There's a few rough edges. The MC is a little bit OP (nowhere near the usual assassin, cultivator, doctor trope). The system is unneeded and detracts.... more>> But these are small potatoes in what's a great read <<less

Not my cup of tea.

It's a pretty childish, and cliché premise tbh, also MC is a Mary Sue.

She's the prettiest, smartest girl in town with a sad backstory and a plethora of admirers. You get the gist.

... more>> The only thing about this story that I find compelling was the family drama. It's complex, with some depth to it, but it ends there, and it's not the focus so...

Also rated this low because the author's prejudice and ignorance about issues is seeping through the novel, the suble insult on migrant workers appearance, or insinuating that autism is an illness, blatant lookism and colorism. Whereas I get that it's the beauty standard in Asia, as Asian myself, it still doesn't justify the need to mention her color every other sentence. The readers will never forget that she's so pale she's see-through. WE GET IT!

Anyway, if you are looking for a story with same premise, where the reborn MC is the prettiest girl in school and sticks shamelessly to the ML, and ML is a cold tsundere that fell hard for the FL (and actually respects her), *Transmigrating To Become The Boss's Little Fairy* is a better read. This is the correct way to write high school, friendship, puppy love, rebirth and trauma that comes with it. With depth. <<less

Another Rebirth Do-Over with the plot of Swapped at Birth, adding on with a system.

Overall, I have to admit despite reading endless stories with similar storylines, this story was unique in it's own way. It was not rebirth for revenge and face slapping of all the enemies. In fact, the whole story was quite emotional. Up until the end, the FL didn't go out and use her first life advantage to triumph and stomp on the previous heroine. In fact, she just persists to study and work hard in her... more>> own way. The goal is to not die early due to the negative villain karma, and to live her life happily.

In the last life, the FL devoted 8 years of her life into trying to integrate into her real genetic family, only to die of brain cancer without sympathy and support from her family. Everything that should have been born as her ended up with another child. Despite all her personal efforts, the heroine aura overtook everything and she couldn't fight against that. The worst part is that, it wasn't really anything that the heroine did to fight against her, nor did her family abuse her or torture her purposely. However, the psychological abuse was endless, and yet her family didn't even realize they were doing it.

In her rebirth, this time she will cut off her ties from those that hurt her and focus on her own life. Since they never truly accepted her and supported until her dying days in the first life, she can pursue her own dreams, happiness, and survival on her own.

I did have a lot of mixed feelings with her complete cut off of her family, afterall, they did truly come to realize the errors eventually and tried to make up for it. But if you think about it, in the first life, she spent 8 miserable years until her death. In this second life, she has already given 2 years of life at the risk of her health, education, and future already. So I can understand, that honestly, she's already tried giving her all and doesn't want to commit to single another moment of a new life to such unhappiness. Afterall, she knows that death is coming for her soon, unless she can break the cycle. So enough is enough. She lived happily without them for the first 15 years in her life. Now it's time to move on and focus on herself now.

The concept of freeloading off other's karma is amusing and a bit unique among the system tropes. It created for quite a lot of comedy and misunderstanding in trying to feed off of this good karma. I also quite like that she never pursues any revenge for either the past life or the current life. She's quite goal oriented with the first being to remove her physical scars, prevent her death, make money, and get a scholarship.

The FL and the ML are quite an amusing pairing. The ML is super tsundere, and despite his sharp words, he's really a big softie with his own sob story background. In the end, if feels like the FL is actually more of the aggressor, which adds to the comedy. <<less

Do you want to read a dog blood romance that seems somewhat less annoying than the 3000 chapter ones? Then look no further.

This story is amazing, despite my rating. My rating comes from my personal opinion and not the story's ability to captivate.

Let's get into it!

The Plot (so far)

... more>>
Spoiler

It has opened so many avenues for good plot lines that feel so spread out and untouched. It's only the middle of the story, so I have no problem with multiple plot lines going at once. It makes the story interesting, but I feel that the romance needs more help. Desperate help.

[collapse]

The romance (so far)

Spoiler

Ever had a friend trapped in an abusive relationship, but they're too desperate for love to leave? That's Mingxi (FL) and Yangxi (ML). Mingxi met Yangxi for the explicit purpose of living. She gets close, gets touchy, and takes all signs of affection that Yangxi gives, but, this mentally 23 yr old woman, doesn't know that he likes her? EVERYONE knows at this point BUT her for too long. Yangxi deals with heartbreak after heartbreak, and still treats her well because she's the only one who cares about him. It's frustrating because I want someone better than the FL for him.

[collapse]

The FL (so far)

Spoiler

She's so manipulative and unintentionally cruel/standoff-ish. Her family may have used her to keep everything stable, but does Mingxi believe that she's any different? Apparently she doesn't even connect her using Yangxi because she does everything a couple would (except the explicit stuff), and can't see that Yangxi is amazing or likes her until he pulls away. Am I supposed to like this mentally 23 yr old s*upid FL?She can clarify everything immediately but the important stuff. She's so exhausting and hypocritical.

Nevermind that she knows her family are under the influence of the adoptive daughter's halo, she doesn't spare them her ire at all. I can't help but feel bad for them as they're only free when it's too late.

[collapse]

The ML (so far)

Spoiler

A victim of never having any comfort, so he latches onto the first person to show him any. Doesn't help that his friend coaxes him into the delusion of having a secretive romance with Mingxi. Then he created boundaries, only for her to step over them. I want him to get help because his whole family is tr*sh, and he doesn't deserve to endure love triangle after love triangle. Can't wait for the truth of his family to come out, so he can finally get closure. Don't want him depending on this s*upid FL for help.

[collapse]

Shen Liyao (so far)

Spoiler

One word to describe him: delusional. I bet if Mingxi punched him in the throat, he'd choke out a thank you. His friends will even say that all women are violent towards their crush. Honestly, his friends are villains, and he's dangerously s*upid. How many rejections can a s*upid man take before he learns his lesson? Who knows.

[collapse]

Zhao Yuan (so far)

Spoiler

Super forgettable for a villain. She doesn't take action or stir too much trouble because her factory settings won't let her act out loud. She's a dumb insecure child, and this world was created for her success. Why would the girl be anything but one dimensional?

[collapse]

Despite my critiques, I love this story and will continue my review as it goes on further. <<less

Long review. Tldr: cute ML, average MC, meh second half and ending.

Cute and entertaining enough, not a complicated story but the characters aren't completely shallow. Solid 3 star story, but the ML is great so he gets his own star, which makes it a 4.

The MC was a very standard MC for this type of novel, didn't love her but liked her ok. The ML is probably my favorite character. He was cute, a little tsundere but not abnoxiously so. The original ML was interesting, showed some growth at the... more>> end, I didn't hate him but he was too proud to be likable. The part that bothered me a bit is the ML's family.

I think they deserved a bit better and I kind of diskliked the ending for the adopted daughter.

There are 3 reasons the family part bugged me.
    • She knows this is a book with the family confined to their roles in the original timeline and is affected by the adopted daughters halo.
    • She gets a second chance to fix things for herself so why doesn't the family get a second chance?
    • Lastly I'm probably so upset because I'm a mom, and mom's make mistakes too.
The family showed signs of breaking out of the adopted daughters control early, especially the 2 brothers. I don't think she should have forgiven them easy, but I thought her indifference to them went on way too long, especially to the younger brother. She has a mentality of 20+ why is she being so hard on a 16 year immature boy who repeatedly tries to fix his relationship with her. I mean the ML has a way worse relationship with his mom, but he is looking forward to her getting better. So why is she so inflexible

Also was hoping for a better end for the adopted daughter and not such a cliche end.

Did she do some crappy things to the MC, absolutely, but she was having issues too. She had no real family, thought she was getting replaced, her birth mom did something extremely wicked, and she was extremely insecure. This lead her to doing s*upid things. Would have been better if she got help and grew instead of such a s*upid ending for her.

Also wasn't a fan on how the family just abandoned her, she didn't know her birth mom did what she did.

All in all, not mad that read it but will probably forget about it quickly. <<less

Had to read the MTL because I really wanna know the whole story.

The both of them are so fluffy.

I really loved the fact that all of the family members felt guilty towards their actions towards her. Althoigh in the end, they were never able to reconcile but as what Yuning said, a lifetine is still long, maybe Mingxi will finally look at their way every now and then. But it was satisfying seeing her not really caring anymore and them feeling like they lost something precious and only realizing it... more>> too late.

I feel sorry for Shen Liyao. I actually do not hate him. In the first timeline, he never dabbled with Zhao Yuan. What he really did is just that he was too proud, too restrained and too arrogant. He liked her but because of his pride and prestige, he didn't show it and just let her chase after him. Thinking that she will always chase after him and when she caught up, they'll be walking on the same road. Only to realize that she was not chasing him anymore. That she didn't look for him anymore. And he was lost. When you lose something, that's the time you realize that they were important to you all along. Shen Liyao was this. It did hint that he liked her all along. Like for the first time he saw her, he was shocked because of her beauty but still made himself indifferent because he was looked up upon as a God that was cold and all about studying. Later on when Mingxi kept chasing him, he didn't discouraged her AS RUTHLESS as other girls and you can see that he actually was okay with her. When results of the tests come out, he goes out of his way and walks to the normal class to see her ranking and when he sees her rank slowly go up. He'll think she's slowly catching up to him, slowly moving closer to him. But his emotionless and pridefulness hurt her. His indifferent ways only struck her when she was already so sad due to her family problems. That's why they were never meant to be. But I still don't hate Shen Liyao, he's just a poor boy who's too late to notice his feelings and was taught to grow up that he was the best and that looking down on others and being cold was what he was supposed to do.

Anyway, I still love Fu Yanxi, he's so adorable. That reference where if he's so proud of himself like a bird shaking his feahters is so dayun cute. He's so tsundere, it's such a gap moe! I wanna tease him as much as Mingxi does with him. His red ears and narcissistic speaking is so funny and adorable. Although his experiences are not but he's so strong and I want him tooooooo!

Thank you for this book and thank you for translating! <<less

Although I feel like she was too excessive in some parts like cutting off her younger brother (I feel that it’s too much because as an elder sibling myself, they’re really are like that. They are arrogant, s*upid, ignorant, and quite ungrateful. But in the end of the day, her younger brother did bond with her. My brother when we were younger, I would fight with him almost everyday, but when we are now older, we’re very close. IDK, I can’t really speak for her because we all grew up... more>> differently.

Aside from that, I think this is really great read. Not a waste of time. The ML is cute. And their love story makes me want to fall in love too. Hahaha. But really, where can you find a guy like this? XD <<less

I like how she severe her relationship with zhao family, and how the ending implied that they never reconciled.

Unlike the other novel with same plot (forget its name) that book FL still have some heart to only give her scum father a gift in the end of the story even tho the story plot more heartbreaking since they treated the other girl sincerely and trully disgusted with the FL (fyi there's no aura or whatever)

I dont really get it why some of people still wanted her to reconcile. Yea,... more>> I know the family did that under influenced of ZY aura but their action is real in the past, and FL has suffer enough. If I were in her shoes, just looking at those family who abuse me (uncoditionally or under influenced or whatever) I would probably vomit. They even did not let her touch ZY things, as if she's some disgusting worms or shit. Why should FL, the victim forgive her abuser lol. She have the right to live peacfully away from her trauma. <<less

This is probably by far my most favorite Chinese novel.

The story flows so smoothly. There aren't any awkward lines or logic fails. It's all well written and the story is great.

You will cry, laugh, get angry, feel shocked and fall in love along with the MC. Her decisiveness is so refreshing too. Once she left her family, she never went back. I love how resolute she is!!

Also, the romance! I cannot believe how mature there love is at that age. The ML is such a warm person. He is the... more>> most incredible ML I have seen! He is expressive, warm, thoughtful, sincere and genuinely in love with the MC.

Truthfully, there were times that I wanted her to reconcile with her family because they truly fell apart when she left, but that would have been against the whole point of the story. I'm glad she found people that, although were not blood-related to her, LOVED her so much that they completely filled up the hole in her heart. She was not left wanting and she enjoyed her life.

This is truly a great read! Give yourself a treat and read this! <<less

I really love the main CP on this novel!! The ML is too tsundere and I freaking love it!! The MC is dense af but I love the scene when her feelings to the ML continue to grows and then blooms. I smiled s*upidly when I read their scenes. About her biological family of the MC, I have mix feelings towards them, but I am really glad that the MC decides to cut her relationship to them. She was hurt and betrayed by them in her first life, but then... more>> in her second life, she knows that it's time to move on and cut all her ties to them. She's kinda tired from their dramas. Chen Liyao (in the RAWS, his name was Shen Liyao), for me, he is a very high maintenance kid. I don't know what to feel about him. He's kinda difficult to sympathize with due to his high maintenance actions. So I felt neutral towards him. But kudos to the author for like giving this a lesson to him.

I picked this up by accident after finding out there was a manhua for it. When I saw that there was only 70 chapters + side stories, I was intrigued. A Chinese story being less than 1000 chapters? Sign me up!

For the most part, this is a quick read that I finished in a day. I was smiling at some parts and tear up at others. The romance is very high school, but it was cute. I like the ML and really enjoyed him fall in love and act like... more>> a cute tsundere. I also liked how it showed the FL work hard to do well at school. It was a fun novel to read.

Things I enjoyed:

  • I liked how the FL worked hard at school and her relationship with the ML. It did feel like she focused on doing well for herself via education instead of focusing only on romance.
  • The ML is a cutie. A tsundere, but in a cute way. He says he isn’t doing anything for you, but his facial expression and red tipped ears tell you a different story. He's also super loyal and kind. For his friends and the FL, he'll bring them the sun if you asked for it. He was the best thing in the novel!
  • It’s short! Chinese novels can go on for ages, but this one was short and sweet.
And that’s it. Which is odd, because as I stated before, I thought it was a fun read. When I was done, I was satisfied, I slept, woke up, then I came to novelupdates to write a review. I opened my Word document and as I was thinking about what to write, I realized that there are some major problems with this novel. In fact, the more I think about it, the more issues pop up.

Like other Chinese novels, we have our FL becoming the most beautiful person in the world. People start to like her once she becomes pretty. Before she becomes pretty, she has a scar, which isn’t that large, but because of it she’s considered ugly.

The FL’s only female friend doesn’t show up as often as the male side characters. Aside from her friend and one character who makes only one appearance, all of the other female side characters that are the FL’s age are horrible people who are jealous.

Speaking of the female lead’s friend, there was a plot point about how her father’s company goes bankrupt due to a someone. The idea is that because the female lead’s friend hates the main female antagonist, the heroine halo causes the friend’s company to go bankrupt.

When that is brought up, the FL says that she’ll try to stop this from happening and then doesn’t do anything. In fact, the friend hardly shows up at all.

The OGcrush of FL is a cold CEO type of character. When she’s reborn, she decides to ditch him for the human good luck charger that is the ML. The thing is, the crush does help her a bit and treats her differently compared to everyone else. He just wants to focus on his studies and not on romance. The man just wants to be alone with his robot. But then the FL ditches him without any sort of talk and he starts becoming more interested in her in dumb ways.

Fair enough, everyone is paying attention to her now, but I feel like his character gets shafted a bit when he could have been a good male lead. Not to mention that he’s technically engaged to her, but that whole story line gets dropped too.

There is also a double standard regarding the family life of the FL and the family life of the ML lead. Both are mistreated by their family. I mean, heavily mistreated, especially the ML who goes through multiple scenes of physical, emotional and psychological abuse. He’s basically the punching bag of his family and yet it’s never brought up that he should cut ties with them. The way they laid out his story, it seemed like we'd see him and the FL find a home in each other since their families suck, but instead

Spoiler

He talks to his family, the FL talks to them too, and the relationship, while not perfect, becomes better than before. So why couldn’t the FL do the same with her family?

[collapse]

Also, the FL hates her family for not treating her as a human, but she treats the ML as a good luck charger. It brings some laughs as the ML misunderstands her actions, but when you think about it, she was initially treating him in a way that made him not human to her. The fact that she’s oblivious to him for most of the book is kind of weird too. As an adult, she dies at 23, she should know that certain actions will make people think certain things. But she does it anyways without caring about how the ML feels about it.

The story is also unfair to the idea of adoptive children. It seems like unless they’re blood, they’re not worth it. The main plot point of the story is how the FL and the OGFL were swapped at birth. OGFL ends up in the hospital when she’s 15 and that’s when she, along with her family, finds out that she’s not related to them. They still love her, obviously, but the search for their biological child and end up finding her. This means our FL goes to her family when she’s 15.

The FL wants to connect with her family, but it seems she gets shut out because they don’t want the OGFL to feel bad for not being biologically related to them. So, they treat her as a second-class citizen in the family.

Meanwhile, the OGFL feels like because she’s not biologically related to them, she’ll get tossed aside once the real daughter shows up.

In the first pages of the novel, our FL criticizes how the “author” made her the villainous tragic side character who only finds acceptance through death. The FL says that she was the biological daughter, so how could she steal the position of the “daughter” when it was hers in the first place.

But the adoptive daughter, our OGFL, doesn’t get the same sort of nuances to her character. She grew up spoiled and has a heroine halo that makes everyone to love her. She’s written that way. She isn’t perfect and I’m not defending her actions, but the nuances of her finding out her family isn’t biologically hers is one that makes me sympathize with her. Once the FL comes into the picture, OGFL probably felt like an outsider in her family and acted more spoiled as a result. It doesn’t help that everyone continued to spoil her as a result.

Unfortunately, she’s written in a very one note so we don’t really see her as a proper character.

Spoiler

Not to mention that by the end of the novel, the family has distanced themselves from her until they ultimately kick her out of the family. Her worst fears come to fruition as a result and it makes her go crazy at the end.

We know that she's smart, so why couldn't she have gotten a tuition at some university where she could start over? Why did we see her become a washed up idol trainee who wears "revealing" clothing? Why did she all of a sudden get a loser boyfriend when she had a fan club at school? Even if her background was shady, she still had rich guys who wanted her.

[collapse]

What does that say about adoptive children though? I kind of wish the FL and the OGFL had a few scenes where they can humanize with each other. Out of everyone in the family, they probably understand each other the best, but because this is a novel where the FL has to win. And therefore, the OGFL, who is adopted, must be a villain.

It’s kind of disappointing in the end.

Speaking of the heroine halo, this brings about my main issue with the novel.

Spoiler

Let me preface by saying that I don’t condone the actions of the FL’s family. They were jerks to her and didn’t appreciate her until she died or left.... but because we know that there’s a heroine halo on the OGFL, it makes their actions excusable since they were conditioned or brainwashed into feeling this way.

Excusable might not be the right word here, but whenever an author introduces a system like this, it makes me harder for me to view the characters affected by it in a negative light. If it wasn’t for the heroine halo, would the family be this vicious to our FL? Probably not.

They might have just raised both of the girls together and called it a day.

[collapse]

I also feel bad for the FL’s younger brother, because he’s a kid and he goes through an entire breakdown because of all of this. We get his POV at some points and he’s more or less ignored by his family. He had sweet moments with the FL too, way before she cuts them off. He actively spent time with her, because no one would spend time on him.

Spoiler

And while the ending does make it seem like there might be some sort of reunion between the two, it didn’t sit right with me that she was so cold to him. If the heroine halo wasn’t there, then I’d understand her apprehension towards him and her wariness to get close. But there’s a heroine halo, so it’s not like he could have controlled himself. And because he can’t control himself, is he truly at fault?

The FL has a system that lets her take the luck of the ML, which then lowers the OGFL’s heroine halo. Before this really kicks into gear, we see the little brother defending the FL. At most, he’s a spoiled, ignored brat. Which makes sense, since he’s given everything but is practically ignored by his family. The only way he knows how to get attention is to be a brat.

His personality and his desire to change, along with the backstory of the heroine’s halo, made me feel awful for him. I wanted a scene where at least he could get a proper reconciliation but we never got it.

[collapse]

So yea, I was satisfied when I read the story but the more I thought about it, the more I had questions about everything. It’s an okay story and the ML is adorable. It’s also short, so it won’t take that long to finish. But there are issues once you think about things. <<less

this is one of the novels that you shouldn't miss to read about.

it's a second chance in life story where you'll have your dose of laughter and tears. I've read this a handful of times but it never gets old I still laugh at the antics of the characters and cry about the heartbreaking family issues of the MC and ML.

full of fluff, banter and romance. You'll want to save a box of tissue beside you when reading the good parts

Started out well and has potential, but the story seems just okay and draggy to me.

The extra chapter of her previous life feels much better because of how the writer makes it feel more like a summary.

Romance is a bit boring to me.

This story is very good. I like the author's viewpoint on the best revenge is indifference and continue to pursue our own success.

The love story between the MC and ML is a beautiful surprise to me. I like how both the leads are strong people. This story made me cry and laugh without so much drama. Love it!

Thank u translator and author for this story and hardwork. Cant wait for the next chapters 😍😍😍

I MTL'd through chapter 70. Not sure if that's the complete novel coz NU listed 75 chapters... Anyways, it was a good read. I was afraid there for a bit that the writer will totally go the makjang way and annihilate the family or everyone who had issues with the MC.

I love the ML... He's not the typical tsundere/cold CEO type. He's suffered from the prince-syndrome; he had a fragile ego, and yet he's too adorable. ^^

I'll definitely go back and re-read this once it's fully translated. The translation is... more>> also very well done. <<less

A hearty light fluffy read. Our MC is under the villianess halo of the heroine and died due to brain cancer (i guess). After being reborn when she was 17 she decided she doesn't want to repeat her mistake.

This is very funny and I love our ML to pieces. He's funny, jealous, possessive and shows like he isn't affected by our MC. Just his ears turn red 😂.

In the beginning he had this delusion that MC liked him and was chasing him thats why she's so clingy to him but... more>> she was just freeloading on his luck. He pretended that it was too annoying to be chased by her, eating her desserts daily and letting her do his work but he just can't hide that from us.

From being a rebellious teenager he turned to someone all of us wanted to meet once in our lives and you just can't help but love him🥺.

A good and fluffy read overall. MC family who started as neglecting MC and favoring the adopted daughter more changed soo much that I kinda started feeling bad for them. Specially zhao Yuning coz he was the closest to MC but at the end no matter what MC didn't even look back at them. But from her view its ok too coz after being found at 15, a bubbly girl full of expectation turned into someone who has no one to rely on emotionally and financially. But she's one of the strongest and likable MC apart from sometimes obvious.

A definite read. MTL was easy to read too. I definitely recommend. <<less

I didn't believe it at first and thought they were only exaggerating but

*takes deep breath* FU YANGXI IS INDEED BEST BOI

Ofc he'd still be lacking in some areas since he 's still young but allow me to continue and revise this review later on since the sun has already risen and my brain refuses to operate after not seeing another 'next chapter' button lmao

It's interesting and I like the characters and FL a lot. I just feel that it's kind of unfair that the brothers treat the adopted sister that way after the FL decided to leave. They realize how mean they've been to the FL yet they slowly begin to be mean and distance themselves from the adopted sister too. If the family treated both of the sisters the same their complicated family matters wouldn't have happened in the first place, or they wouldn't have gone to this extent. They could've tried... more>> bonding together as a family instead of favoring the adopted sister over the biological sister. But did they do that? No. They treated biological FL poorly and regret it after she leaves. Then they begin doing the same to the adopted sister.
Later, the family abruptly begins to distance themselves from the adopted sister after the biological one left. This causes adopted sister to feel more insecure and competitive towards the FL. She feels like everyone's attention and love is disappearing so of course she feels uncomfortable and would resort to desperate measures to try to keep their love.. (Spoiler*) she does scheme a little bit. Then the brother gets angry at her without really trying to understand her motives. Idk if I were the adopted sister I'd feel bad too, I mean put yourself in the adopted sister's shoes. You think your family is yours but it turns out you're not the biological child. You've been spoiled all your life and you're still spoiled when the real daughter comes. Now that the real one leaves everyone begins to pay less attention to you and pay more attention to her. The real daughter is prettier, smarter, AND also the biological daughter, what do you really have left? You're not the real daughter and you're suddenly worse than her in every aspect. — The adopted sister's loved ones are no longer there to comfort her and she suddenly feels insecure, jealous, and alone.

the whole family needs to set their priorities straight and be more understanding and communicative of BOTH the FL and adopted sister so BOTH sisters feel LOVED and secure within the family. Just like how the brothers are all treated the same, why is it that both the sisters are treated so poorly?

I saw another review saying that the ML is carrying the story and I agree bc I'm mainly continuing to read this for him. He is so funny and cute I'm in love hahahaha. It is rare for me to find such a funny and cute ML!! <<less
