So much so that AhPing didn't know how to consummate his marriage. Husband and wife put it in the wrong hole!!!

While the leads' relationship was the one that span the longest time bc the two leads knew each since they were young children, everyone else's was told. My favorite secondary couple was third fraternal aunt and Wang family's third son. Following them has to be Wen Fei Bai and her fifth uncle's daughter, little cousin Qiao Dong Wan. Although this couple only had 1 chapter or so, it was short and sweet.

At first I thought it was sad what happened to ML's father. I didn't think it was fair that he was given such an ultimatum between his wife and the woman he married abroad due to losing his memory. Father Huo married Wang Anna as compensation to the family saving his life and he had two young children with her. He never loved Wang Anna, but he said he did love his wife in his inner monolog. Obviously, him getting Wang Anna preggo again after his memory came was what made me unsympathetic with him? Did I misread that part where Wang Anna fell? If she was knocked up after his memory came back then that's cheating, if not then Father Huo was dealt a bad card... *sigh*. He still wasn't a terrible character because he gave away so much of his wealth to his ex and son, knowing that he can never make up their suffering. That was his redeeming quality...

The fifth son is introduced to have only one daughter with his wife. Wife is negligent with the child and too preoccupied in wanting to fulfill her wife duties, while husband is too preoccupied with his father duties with his daughter after an event that led to injuring his little thing.

One day, the daughter was kidnap because wife unconsciously left her alone when she tried to take her bag back. Although they got their daughter back after many twist and turns, it scar the husband as how could she left her child for her bag + how uncaring she is for her child. While wife because of husband become colder and uncaring for her became more worried of her status quo.

Honestly, this is such an unfortunate story. As much as I hate the wife for not taking care of her child well, I pitied her as I feel like a lot of this has to do with how the society is patriarchal.

Like I wouldn't be surprised if girl just don't like children or being a mother at that age but had to do it to survive. Had she been in this today's time she could be doing her own thing and making her own status quo, instead she's in the past where the only way to survive is to cling on a man.

Tho, this in no way remove the fact that she was a negligent mother. She is, but I just find it annoying that they pin all the blame of that broken marriage on her. Her cheating did set it to stone, but honestly what can she even do? Her parents aren't as kind as our Qiao family that they would willing and heartedly support a divorcee daughter. In short she was trap in a marriage, with s*xual frustation and a husband that is uncaring for her needs.

If this was in today, there's obviously 0 excuses why you couldn't divorce before doing it with others, but in this case tho?? I honestly don't know. Cheating is bad and obviously no excuses for it. I guess I just find it difficult to implement this notion thinking of that time. Like honestly, there wasn't even much focus on the fact that the husband suck at being a husband to his wife and reassuring her, it's as if so long as he's a good father then it doesn't matter if he avoid his wife because she deserve it for being negligent instead of having a heart to heart convo talking of their needs and wants, not just about him demanding her to do what he wants (to be a good mother to their daughter) and then later ignoring her needs lmao.
