Jiang Yu had a dream in which she happily married a city man. However, her husband, Fu Xiangyang, was weak-willed, and her mother-in-law was domineering and controlling, leaving her feeling suffocated. After a year of marriage with no pregnancy, she was forced to take bitter herbal medicine daily and was often scolded and beaten by her mother-in-law. Jiang Yu woke up from this nightmare, only to find that the matchmaker had come, and the man she was being introduced to was none other than Fu Xiangyang!

As her parents discussed whom she should marry, her introverted twin sister, Jiang Ting, suddenly stood up and declared, “I want to get married!”

In her previous life, Jiang Ting had married a country man and had child after child. She endured until old age, surrounded by grandchildren yet receiving no support, ultimately facing a desolate ending. In contrast, her twin sister enjoyed a comfortable life in the city, with the two of them living as a stark comparison to one another!

It’s a 3.5

It’s a slice of life novel. I like how decisive FL is contrasting with the feudal traditions. ML is bland. The love story is a miss as the romance wasn’t very interesting. 80 % of the story is not focused on her but on people living in the same courtyard or colleagues.

Hop for a very long read. Translated already 40 chapters, and it still can be considered beginning of the story, but read is not boring and thanks to detailed description you can fully understand Jiang Yu, her motivation and situation and people around her.

At first there's description that Jiang Yu lazy. Can't say it exactly truth as she someone who knows what she wants, knows people around her very well and she someone who is unwilling to work for others when she knows perfectly well that it didn't bring her... more>> not family love, not even care about her opinion. Then why waste afforts? Jiang Yu for sure someone who can take care about herself and plan for herself. Her own dream is to be writer, she is well-read and smart person. She also caring for those close to her, but if they are not willing to take her goodwill, she will never enforce it. Her twin sister is example.

From what I understood, her twin sister is returning, having second chance in life, while Jiang Yu herself is had prophetic dream about future, the night her sister returns.

Spoiler

Jiang Ting for sure wasting her second chance, not exactly fighting for her own happiness, as much going crazy with jealousy towards her twin sister. I don't know how much she lasts, but for now she is main antagonist. Her first life was hard, and she thought that her sister life was nice and she had gem of man. I seriously think she gone crazy because of it. Well life wasn't exactly easy for both of them, and it hard to say who had it worse. But if Jiang Yu using second chance to live better life and pursue dreams, than Jiang Ting is not happy with just getting man she thinks is gem, she wants her sister to be miserable.

[collapse]

As for He Tingyue, man Jiang Yu falls from first sight... At first she is too practical to think that he will want to marry her, and after some time, when she has courage to pursue him... Let's say that man accumulated some misunderstandings about her, so... He is unwilling. There's two major misunderstandings between them, and one was resolved, so... Well what can I say, you can't blame him too, he always ends up in not right place in not right time. I quite like him actually, and can see why Jiang Yu fell for him, besides being her type of man with handsome face and sturdy build, although he is not willing to talk with her much, he doesn't treat her bad, and when necessary is always ready to help as good comrade. He is worthy man to put some afforts to get him. And just to confirm - she doesn't cling to him, respecting his choice and herself. She just using her right to freely express her like in most modest way.

Spoiler

P.S.: Chinese novels has that one problem - man should pursue woman or he would not treasure her. So if you see woman first to express her likes, expect her to be rejected, so after some time said man start to pursue her. That's novel exactly the case.

[collapse]

Jiang Yu also made friends and it nice to see girls getting along with each other.

Translation at some parts a bit rough, I guess it edited mtled text, but it still done very nicely, and aside from few words, I didn't have any problem, so recommended to try if you interested in long story about girl fighting for happiness in matter of dream job and dream man.

Eagerly waiting for translation ^~^ <<less

It's an idiotic story what's ironic is the bland chemistry between FL and ml, everything between them is likely to be forced by the plot. I find it exasperating on how decisively she deals with her family but on the on the other hand it's annoying to see her acting like a love struck fool around ML and it's even more hilarious that she fell for ML for no reason at all. But what stumped me the most is how her divorced aunt is giving her unfounded advice on love... more>> as if she she feels it's okay for a woman to cling to a man who has no interest in them. Girls make sure to never follow this novel always remember if a man isn't interested in you have some self respect and don't cling to them life is not a novel whatever pain you are feeling now will get better with time and you will find a man who truly cherishes you and loves you because a toxic relationship is like a cancer which will keep spreading until it kills you. <<less
