and also. I hate the fact that it seems like the novel or ML.. Whoever! Is blaming the MC for the majority of the break up. I know they showed the background story of ML the actually the one backing away first but the novel is just making it hard for the MC. That's why the MC should have been more aggressive!! Don't let people talk smack about you like that! Defend yourself!

However there were plenty of issues, especially with what felt like a very rushed ending. But also introductions of characters like the female lead's mother and ex-husband which were just pushed into the story and then promptly left without issue.

And while there is certainly a lot more xenophobic and even racist novels, especially in the Chinese market, it did feel very awkward whenever the female lead's past life in the US was mentioned. While there is a lot of racism still, it would not have come off as badly if there was at least one example of a friend or companion from the US that helped her out somehow rather than just being shown the bad side. Again, not quite racist, but definitely xenophobic and biased towards the Chinese as being righteous and just but oppressed within the American borders.
