FemMC pretty much disconnected from her biological mother, father and that twisted white lotus of a sister but she got pretty well with her maternal family and they were super nice and enthusiastic~

ML is also pretty much disconnected from his family too, his grandma, mother and 2nd brother arent aren in his eyes. When he finally realized it wasn't his fault and finally healed himself emotionally and mentally, he pretty much forgave? Them for abandoning him for how many years. BUT he pretty much doesnt see them as family anymore. Except for his younger sister huo chuchu that believes in him and didn't gave up on him through out the years.

Now your gonna say, dang they only have each other now?

Yup! Theyre a perfect match and theyre backed by other families that treat them as a real family member. Like the chen family. Gotto love grandma chen and the art association full of granpas and grandmas!

Those old people bless their eccentric hearts xD theyre better with using social media than me hahaha

Note they also have a super handsome baby that can appraise high quality things since 1 yr old?!?!? He is so smooth and cool at the side chapters when he helped his 'aunt' at a charity auction (hes 7 in this side story)

ML's lil sister, huo chuchu, also married to ML's doctor. Theyre common interests are eating melon together (exchanging gossips) and they hit off pretty well! They even had a baby girl in the end of the side story~~~

The mother and grandmother eventually realize they did something wrong but there was no turning back. It takes special paintings by the MC that make them face their grief and the utter failing of the Original-ML to realize that they had done the ML wrong. Of course, there is nothing they can do about it at that point because it had been so long since they abandoned the ML.

They especially realize it when the ML has a son and they aren't allowed near the child (they also make no effort to show up even though they want to). Instead, they pester the ML's sister for information but she doesn't really have any to give them.

Her end is pretty entertaining even if it wasn't really enough.

From the beginning, she arranged things to make it seem like the MC is a terrible person. For example, the Antagonist set it up so that the MC would be sent to the ML without any clothes to fit her and then blamed it on the servant. Then she told everyone that the MC was the one who got the servant fired.

The icing on the cake is when she convinced her adoptive mother to give her all the shares from her adoptive father after they divorced and then demanded he give her the pharmaceutical company by threatening to turn in evidence of her father giving gifts (bribes) to officials.

In the end, she ends up getting conned and having to sell her company for cheap to the ML's company only to realize that it was the MC who was going to now own it.

Ok now onto my own personal opinion. I did find myself growing bored when the MC stopped receiving system assignments as that was were most of the comedy came from for me and kept the plot going forward.

This was also true for character development, I didn’t find that the MC or ML really grew as characters. Yes the ML over came his psychological issues but it came as more of a side note once the system stopped being active. As for the MC a lot of the art focus seemed to be missing and I had enjoyed the scenes of her streaming and the ‘gifting’ of her art became moot early on and was made completely redundant with the ML always buying it, which the MC found adorably but I found frustrating.

The whole reveal of the Ink Painting Guru was - anti climatic.

Her friendship and fondness for those around her seemed superficial and more like a chore to her than genuine care.

I did find the novel enjoyable but I wished that it went deeper into relationships outside her one with the ML. As the system was supposed to be based off the ML’s fondness and the fondness of others within his social circle.

there was a moment when the ML (male protagonist) compared his secretary to Gu Shishi, thinking Gu Shishi was way above her, but that was in terms mainly in appearance. The main problem with this comparison is that pretty much all of the favorable traits he cited of Gu Shishi, she only has because she has a system that manufactured and gave those traits to her, and they are all beauty goals that are literally unattainable for a normal person (as NEVER having oily skin, pimples, blemishes and pores - which I recognize would be wonderful, but is literally impossible for anyone to have in the conditions the system has put you in). This made it seem like he would never have paid attention to her without the system making these modifications and that therefore he would never have really fallen in love with her unless she was artificially conditioned to meet all his standards, practically a doll. Aesthetically perfect.

There was a moment in the story when Gu Shishi was choosing her wedding dress, but he barred EVERYONE she liked because he thought she looked too pretty in them and didn't want anyone else to see her like that. He ended up buying the ones she wanted, in the next chapter, because he saw that she had even lost heart in choosing dresses and was upset, but it was still a scene that genuinely pissed me off.

One of the halos the system gave the protagonist caused her to blush beautifully when she drank, but the side effect of this was that there was a high chance she would end up extremely drunk, to the point where she even had trouble walking. Behold, she takes a sip at her own wedding and this halo is activated against her will so that she can't enjoy the wedding party because she needs to go to her room and have her wedding night. It wasn't treated as a problem in the story and the protagonist herself wasn't too upset, but it was something that bothered me.

These are not in chronological order

1. Painting

How one of her main traits and one of the main things she was excited about (besides getting gifts to live) was the "upgrades" she got in her painting ability. I thought painting as her main thing was cool because in most of these stories it's usually acting or cooking. But the thing is after she got the ability to make people feel things when they look at her paintings (which I think is level 2 on this skill but I can't remember for sure and don't want to go find it), she didn't use her health points to upgrade the ability after that. And one of her main things is or should I say was was painting because they haven't talked about that in forever. Now all she's uses her points for is to upgrade her looks, which would be fine except for it's only that all the time now.

2. Going off of that some of the stuff she gets from the system like the bride halo: which I think basically made it so every time she turned it on she would act like it's their wedding night all over again (aka no experience in bed), basically her acting very inexperienced which isn't really bad but just made me feel a little weird. Especially since in like every chapter they don't forget to throw in how small she is "like ML took her small hand" or "ML patted her on her small head", like I get it you don't have to mention it every chapter. And the fact that they talk about childishly she dresses in regards to her night clothes which again isn't so much a problem but still it's weird.
3. Also going off her pajamas he doesn't want her dressing like that in the house in case other people see her. Fine I get it if you have people who work for you in the house you shouldn't be dressing inappropriately but like it's night time. And besides the butler you dismiss all the servants at night. This is supposed to be her house to and she should be able to dress how to she wants.
4. She's also supposed to have the ability to help with his insomnia with one of the abilities she got from the system. And she even said when she got this ability at first she was going to use it to help him sleep and she's only done it like 3 times and he still suffers from insomnia or did they just forget that plot point? Because even at one point he ask her to sleep with him on the couch because he thought it could help him sleep, so why after they got married he didn't want to sleep in the same room as her?
5. Marrying her because he thought she was depressed, sir get her some therapy if you think she's depressed. He just keeps throwing out mixed signals of he wants to be with her but also stay away from me.

5. His little sister which I like one of her main task was to get ML to get along better with his little sister. But mostly what she did was sit there while ML was rude to his little sister and tell her to leave. And the little sister is sitting there in awe because her brother is doing stuff he wouldn't normally do. And I get that it's his trauma and he's kinda nice to her even though he refuses to interact with her. I just don't think MC should've gotten points for that because besides the introduction she didn't do much

6. Her being drunk is the most annoying thing

7. The system getting more involved in her life. She is doing the most ridiculous (sometimes hard to understand pointless things) because the system is giving her more specific task instead of general ones like before. For example her having to do those 3 weird kisses, what was the point in making them that specific when ML didn't even realize 2 of them?

During their wedding night she has to say no to him three times and then sleep with him like why? Also she was very drunk sounding the whole scene. I couldn't even enjoy their first night together because it felt so incredibly forced instead of natural. Also because of that SHE DIDN'T EVEN GET TO ENJOY HER WEDDING, I was looking forward to the wedding scene so much. And all I got was a disappointing 1-2 chapters about it. Like describe the venue, her dress, what they looked like at the altar, SOMETHING instead they just said they got married and then she gets drunk (which she didn't want) 2nd we move on the very awkward in my opinion first night (which they also didn't detail enough)

I also really liked when Huo Shishen revealed himself as the CEO of HQ or something and then Gu Wushuang tries to seduce him but fails. MUAHAHHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAH

Fun to see her basically proving everyone wrong and being super low-key (Ink Painting Guru and the CEO of a beauty company?, sometimes I just wanted everyone to know how powerful she is.

I didn't really like how after she chose marriage, Huo Shishen proposed. It seems slightly unreasonable even if we are looking at it through his perspective and feels forced. The misunderstandings were so great, I think it would have been sweeter if Huo Shishen somehow realizes his feelings and proposed, not because of her 'sucidical' behavior

MUAHAHHAHAHAHAHA, Huo Shisen is always so jealous when Qin Rui and our MC are doing anything together.

A complain I have is that the System made the MC wayyyy to overpower, it literally made her perfect in the story, she never does wrong and its beautiful in every sense, also I felt that the romance between the MC and the ML was quite... dubious. The MC literally just has to act quite to obtain the money of the ML and continuos to do so all through their relationship, and the ML falls for her in grat part for misunderstanding.
