Truth to be told, I thought Shen Liyao would just be one of those scums that are 'why are u no longer chasing me and chasing someone else when u were mine'. He did come off as that kind of person in the beginning and the story narrated how prideful he is that he didn't admit that he disliked seeing ML and FL together. Later on in the story, it turns out that he really did like her from the start of her chasing him. He just thought that his feelings for her was more of irritation and annoyance. Coupled to the fact that his bestfriend is a son of a bit*h who kept on telling Liyao that FL is annoying and dumb for chasing after him like some sort of brainwashing spell. Sadly, it was too late. By the time Liyao realized it and confessed, FL realized her feelings for ML. I do like how he did his best to interact with people more so that the next time he falls in love with someone, he wouldn't miss it again.

As for the Zhao family... sighs. In both timelines, the Zhao family just kept on living with regrets. I don't know if it's really due to their affection for Zhao Yuan whom they raised for 15 years or because of Zhao Yuan's female lead halo that they ended up neglecting FL. Once FL left (in the original, she died without telling her family about her cancer, and in the 2nd life, she severed ties on her own), Mother Zhao realized that she should've spoiled FL during the time they spent together and at the very least did not give preference over Zhao Yuan. Father Zhao realized that he should've gone abroad less and spoiled his real daughter a lot more. Eldest brother/OrigNovelML realized at how bias he was towards Zhao Yuan and he really never paid attention to his real sister. In both lives, he didn't end up with Zhao Yuan due to FL leaving the family. The second brother also regretted bullying FL with harsh words though he honestly shows affection like that. The third and youngest brother regretted not being able to protect FL and sometimes standing on Zhao Yuan's side despite being the closest to FL in the family. In the later chapters, FL does try to reconnect with the third brother since he really was close to her in the family though it wasn't mentioned after that chapter. Honestly, I liked how when their family realized that all the wrongdoings they've done to FL was so much, they stopped forcing FL to go back to their family especially when they saw her being surrounded by people who love her. They would only watch from a distance and make sure she's alright. At least they didn't try to take advantage of her marrying the super rich ML like all other novel scum families lol.

the orifm is a f*cking two face b*tch. I just cant, she pretend to be this nice, considerate little girl but behind everyone shes doing everything she can to get what she want. And even more so she turn her back on her friend when her friend got in trouble after bullying the MC when the orifm is partially responsible for that too. Thankfully the lil bro realize this and even the eldest bro realize this too. Shes such a b*tch. Honestly if she just apologize and stay low im pretty sure the family can forgive her whatsoever but she just too greedy and selfish

At first, I really really hated the way FL never forgave her family. They're kinda tr*sh but they weren't thaat bad you know? Especially her younger brother who looked out for her since the start. They were under the influence or the Halo. Then I felt the family deserved it for how they treated the OGFL. What the heck was that?

The second and the main reason. The OgFL is done so ugly by the author. I know I should get used to the Chinese priority or bloodline over nurture. But I hated how the author constantly made it as though Adopted Kids are inferior than your biological just because they aren't related to you by blood. Blood doesn't make families, Love and Bonding does. The OG plot of ogFL and OGML her brother was soo creepy too. OgFL isn't a saint but by C-novel standards she really didn't do anything too bad. At most she would cry or not say anything if her friends decided of their own accord to punish FL. I get her, she was scared FL would replace her as the real child, and now I can see why she feared that. The Zhao family was ready to do that.

ML's family is much much more Toxic than FL's family. Why did his tr*sh family get a second chance but hers didn't??

I didn't like it at start a but cuz she was just using him as a Good Luck Wifi. But it's ok nbd

The way her family finally realized their mistakes was good and it felt like a fitting end, but I absolutely hate how the author completely vilified Zhao Yuan with an underlying meaning of "she's adopted so she's unworthy".

I would've loved the story more if the author kept her as the innocent but spoiled princess from the original book, who eventually finds her own happiness away from the Zhao family.

I hated how ML's mother practically got a I-am-sick free ride, plus the grandfather went really overboard at the beginning and it was glossed over and forgotten later? Author totally dropped the ball there
