    I like this story. The MC is not someone who just lets anyone bully her and at the same time, someone who has a brain! I like her straightforward personality. Same with the ML.

    I feel sorry for Hou Wencheng though. He fell in love with the wrong girl. He was brought up by a mom who has unreasonable expectations, and had to forego a lot of normal things just to meet her expectations.

    I just finished the story and I don't know if I just missed it as MTL weren't clear or the Hou family really have a loose end?

    By old madam chen Bday, they just said that O!FL had a miscarriage after the 1yr timeskip and the Hou family was so mad with O!ML. They just mentioned something about dinner but it wasn't clear if it is to meet with MC and ML family. It didn't say if O!ML and O!FL got divorced. Just that along with the miscarriage, O!ML found that O!FL was hooking up with a oil tycoon and O!FL was demanding 50mil for divorce. IDK if the Hou mother and grandmother eventually meet up with MC and ML or if they found out ML's true assets. I would like to found a clarification as they are calculating towards the grandson! They are so hateful. While I know MC wouldn't let them touch the son, I hope to see they try and be slapped in the face!

    He just eventually disappeared. After the counterattack to their family, he try to change his temperament by furthering his study on arts so he return to MC's studio. After that, MC weren't focus on her stream nor her teaching studio so there were many loose end side characters. I think he was invited in MC's wedding and he went.

    Think you got a couple things mixed up.

    So we really don’t get an explanation for the whole switched at birth thing. We’re just told that MC and OGMC were somehow accidentally switched as babies and the fact had recently come to light. MC went to live with the bio family, but they only really cared about the kid they’d raised.
    MC was “sold off” to the ML. While everyone thinks he’s cursed, they also acknowledge that he’s a powerful business tycoon and creating a marriage tie to him would be beneficial (even if they’re too scared to be physically close to him). So MC’s sent to his place as his fiancé.

    And that’s when the MC transmigrated in. We don’t really get much detail about how/why they got him to agree with this, other than the implication that he expected her to give up and run off fairly quickly.

    On the adoptive family, they don’t care about the MC either. They try to leverage the fact that they raised her to get money, but they consider the other one their true long lost daughter. So the OGMC effectively has 2 sets of parents (even if she looks down on the poor pair) with MC having none.

    Well TBF the bio father didn't look well on either of the dughters he was only interested in elevating the status oh his illegitimate son. The bio mother was a moron who wanted to connect with the MC but was continuously manipulated by the fake daughter. I don't recall much interaction if any between the fake daughter and her biological family.

    You can really see this when the fake daughter convinces the mom to get the real daughter to divorce so her operation will be blessed? lucky? The mom realizes a little she has no standing to ask this and tries to be kind to the MC buy is bamboozled by the fake she winds up taking both her and the fake out of that family

    So the MC effectively had about 1/8 of a parent while the fake had maybe 1 1/4 parents

    Overall I don't know if I should feel sad or happy for the original break daughter. With all that emotional baggage, it's doubtful she could ever live a happy life. The same way reincarnation is considered the treatment for an Orca bite, it might well have been for her as well.

    Thinking about it this is one in the same category of The Lady Wants to Rest. The stories where the transmigrator needs to tell them, no I'm not your child , they died and you're responsible. The mother really didn't get hit nearly hard enough

    I don't get these stories.The child is always switched somehow...ok but biological parents not supporting there own kid coz fake kid(I feel bad saying fake )is somehow ill(may or may not true) and they are like who is biological kid we never know or need that.like we saw recently how a mother found her long lost daughter and she was crying and was so thankful to meet her again.maybe it's a effect in novels since the babies are switched but well..

    China has a big problem with left behind children. Children left behind in poor areas while their parents head to more prosperous areas to make money. To those left behind their parents and other family can become complete strangers or no better than acquaintances. My impression is these stories are meant to appeal to people that can relate

    Okay, this might be the real spoiler here for me, who's only read till chapter 318, but so far, I have not really seen that Shishi's biological mother was being manipulated. In fact, she seems to clearly prefer the adopted daughter over her own flesh and blood. Either that, or she doesn't care for a child she didn't raise herself and thinks it's too hard to get to know a new one. Either way, you say the father an illegitimate son? And what do you mean that the mother <is bamboozled by the fake she winds up taking both her and the fake out of that family?> Please clarify! :blobfearful:

    The fake daughter prevented the mother, from knowing what was going on with the MC, she stopped the mother from interacting with her daughter. Did you get to the part where the mother goes to the MC to get her to divorce the ML yet? You get to see just how easily manipulated the character is in that mini arc

    The fake daughter is about to get her operation, but she is pissed about how well MC's life is going so she gets a fortune teller to give a fake fortune that it won't go well unless the MC isn't married. The mother goes to the MC, and the MC points out just how badly she was treated by her family and just how little right she has to even ask to see the MC. The mother then offers property and money, the <mC comes back with if a temporary divorce is such a minor thing show me. The mother goes to the father and he is more than happy to divorce the mother and disown the fake daughter in one shot and marries his mistress. Leaving the mother and fake daughter out in the cold.

    You’re right in that the mom doesn’t really put much actual effort into getting to know her bio daughter. Still, anytime she might spend some time with her the adopted one pulls an ‘oh, my heart’ and quickly draws all attention back to herself.

    The dad clearly doesn’t really care about either woman. He’s got a side piece and a son somewhere out there. To add to kuwaii12345 post, the mom goes to the dad to get a temp divorce just to prove to MC that it’s just a legal definition and doesn’t mean anything. Except the dad basically goes, ‘oh, you want a quickie divorce, with no alimony or devision of assets or scandal from protracted legal battle? Oh, temporarily. Yeah, let’s do this, promise I’ll totes remarry you afterwards.’ And with this golden opportunity to offload her falling into his lap he takes it and almost immediately marries his side piece so that he can have his proper male heir under his roof.

    O.M.G!!!! So the brainless mother lost her marriage, which was in shambles to begin with, over an envious, spoiled brat that couldn't tolerate anyone's life going better than hers... That's tough. :sweating_profusely:

    I'd like to say it was a dumb plot trend which reduces hardwork of actual plot building by author. Luckily for such authors, a lot of people liked to be amused by such brainless drama.

    i recall on the last part when gu shishi had a painting exhibit, the mayor intentionally invited the father(starting from scratch 'cause he lost control of his companies to gu wushuang, w/c the real estate co was bought by mother zhang brother in beijing) when he saw gu shishi & found out that she is ink painting guru & then he hide, he remembered the time when he fetch her from the countryside wearing tattered sportswear & shoes, trembling, having timid personality that he then decided that she can't be used. From the get-go he didn't really care at all.

    The father was one of a kind man. I mean JERK!!

    He really didn't put anyone in his eyes. Everything was a profit and loss statement. He felt oversmart and list everything.

    Mother oh I don't even know what to say about her. How can you feel so dumb and trustworthy of your husband.

    I loved the green and blue face of original FL when she finds out about the divorce. something you have been working all your life was gone just because of your jealous to FL. Literally hitting the stone on your own foot.

    This story there wasn't much revenge, only dumb character who wouldnt ooc. They met retribution. The MC doesn't even take much initiative to ruin them. And boom all done!!

    MC was pretty cool and chill about everything. She is like so calm and cares only of Ml

    Ml is a total wife slave. Like I can understand him after being betrayed and scared of being a jinx all of your life someone pulls you out of the abyss.

    He cherishes his family with MC

    And I love that :))

    Pardon me for posting this
    I just read the story and this is totally Chinese dogblood drama
    Two things i like about the novel, are MC is keep shapening her talent instead of depend on ML's wealth, i mean, that is the right thing, juat because you find some wealthy man, doesn't mean that you don't have to work on your talent and fully depend on your husband fortune
    Each individual must be smart, whether you are man or woman, this is a good point of the novel
    The next is ML, he is not some domineering plus overbearing type of CEO that will give me cringe because he madly fall in love, he did that because FL is the only genuine companion for him
    I especially enjoy their moment getting closed to each other the most
    But that's it!
    The other part is just full of hole plot, nonsense, and overused scheme that made me conclude this novel kind of ridiculous
    For example author really make the OGFL overly vicious and OGML super idiot
    To be honest most of the people (other than MC, ML, and some people who sided with them) look either stupid or cruel
    MC mother for example, how is the Madam of influential family is so braindead that she naively believe that stupid scheme Fake daughter make??
    Forgive me, but what i know, even doted daughter of rich family was taught about how to handle family business, skill like reading other people intention is a must if she wanted to preserve her family wealth
    But this stupid mother raised in well educated environment didn't notice that? She go even further to send her real daughter to a "cursed" man, the daughter that she gave birth but must endure harsh life, like really? Even science has said that mother has the natural instincts to protect her own child
    And the worst is ML family, i mean except they were possessed by evil they will not throw ML out for a very weak reasoning, i mean the reason was just too weak to be true.
    To be fair about my opinion, the author of the novel maybe didn't really done enough research about upperclass life and just follow the pattern of "actually evil white lotus" plot. That left so much plot hole in chapters that include those stupid character
    But about the style author choose to compose the story, i must admit it is quite neat, that is why i enjoy the part of the story where MC put an effort to survive
    Also the part where ML slowly heal from her insecurities
    In conclusion, if you are the type that likes dogblood drama, this one is for you, but if you are the type who prefer simple and rational story type, this is a BIG NO!

    well i think she had this notion that the world revolves around her and that everyone would listen to whatever she says, i read in some latter parts that her family was not in favor of her marrying scummy dad but because she's everyone's sweet little darling before she got her way by just throwing tantrums at home-- so this kind of event solidifies her belief that everyone would listen--would please her, i think
