For example, she remembered ML's adopted parents died in a fire and just because ML's mother gave her a bowl of noodles, then she decide to spend a lot of money to hire people to save them. Like, this happens soon after her rebirth and up until this point, the author kept stressing on how much MC hates ML and is scared of ML and wants nothing to do with ML. Yet, when ML's parents are in danger, she first tried to ignore it but then later, reasons with herself that she didn't want ML's adopted mother (who faintly reminds her of her own mom) to die without trying to save her. Ok, fine, the man you hate so much who tied you up and restricted your freedom in your past life and who you wouldn't hesitate to kill if given the chance, you're ok with saving his parents whom you've never met in the first life and only briefly met once in your current life because you're a kind person in this life. Sure. But why didn't you try a bit more to save your ex-fiancé (Shen Jin) who died on the battlefield? In her past life, she married Shen Jin then he got called away to fight and died. Somehow she was made to believe that the reason he left was because of ML's scheme so she hated ML for that. She actually loved Shen Jin deeply, yet, when he is called again to the battlefield then all MC does is tells him to be careful and gives him her purse to hold, hoping he will have more will to live if something did happen to him. So the author spends several chapters on her stressing over if she should save ML's parents or not and then just a few sentences on Shen Jin even though she loved him in her past, cried desperately when he died, refused to remarry, etc. Even if it's been too long in her past life, then why does it seem like ML's parents still hold more weight than her dead husband? And even if it's harder for her to prevent his death, at least have her worry about it a bit more??? Idk, it just felt as if the author was force-feeding the reader this "saving ML's parents so he can love you even more in the future" plotline.

There's even a section that mentioned that ML mainly married her in the past life because he promised her when they were younger that he would save her from being married off to an old man. So it wasn't even like he loved her when he came back to the capital and was searching for her. He actually fell in love with her when they first met again in front of the doctor's shop and she pointed at her nose which was something she used to do when they were children. Then he fell in love with her. So in the current life, she avoided him and didn't point at her nose and made him dislike her so he still isn't in love with the "white moonlight". I don't understand the author's reasoning for this part. It feels like she's trying to not make him a shallow person by saying he wasn't in love with her when they were children but fell in love later.

MC realizes ML is not who he was in the past life, that he's not as cruel as she thought he was. ML still doesn't like MC but randomly when MC is in danger then his body automatically saves her even if he didn't mean to. ML also starts to have flashback dreams to the past life too and past events. He sees her in his dreams but even though he believes his dreams are more true than false, he still doesn't get to the bottom of who she really means to him. Like, he's already dreamt of her so many times, he already has the power to dig up her childhood history, it's not like that was a secret, and yet, the author makes him still pretend to be dumb about it. Even though he's so smart he figured out she was lying to him and why she did certain things, he still couldn't figure out that she was his white moonlight. I just wanted to facepalm myself at this point. I don't even want to know when they finally figure it out because it's so dumb. The author even wrote early on that it wasn't hard for him to find out who she is when he had power so that's why she had to make him hate her.
