It's perhaps too premature to give this 5-star rating given that I've only reached half way (2,460 chapters, seriously though). But I must say, I'm enjoying the story thus far. Normally, I steer clear of stories with chapters numbering in the four digits, but I'm giving this one a shot due to my genuine interest. The focus seems to be on the protagonist's journey back to her biological family, who fell on hard times searching for their lost daughter. She's working hard to provide for herself and her newfound family.
Without giving away too much, the main character appears somewhat aloof but not无情. Her background is somewhat mysterious, but she served as a skilled assistant to a powerful figure, possibly a mafia boss, driven by the desire for revenge for her parents' deaths. Her attachment to family was initially weak due to her upbringing, but she eventually connects with her biological family through a series of events, primarily moved by their love for her.
What I appreciate about her family is that they are far from the typical, selfish characters found in other novels. Her father is caring and selflessly searched for her, even sacrificing their financial stability. Her mother may be timid, but she genuinely loves her kids despite her flaws. The grandmother, while initially skeptical, supports her son's quest and forms a heartwarming bond with her granddaughter, especially when discussing the older sister's fertility issues.
The younger siblings, twin brother and sister, are adorable and face their own challenges, but they're dear to the reader's heart. The elder sister hasn't made a significant appearance yet, but she doesn't seem jealous. The family dynamics involve a mix of loyalty and scheming, with external influences like the maternal family and some uncles.
While the story might delve deeper into political intrigue later due to the main love interest's situation, for now, I'm relishing the lighter moments. The translation is readable, even if it leans towards machine translation, and I appreciate the effort put into it. Just a heads-up, the character names can be confusing, but with a bit of Chinese knowledge, they become manageable. Overall, I'm looking forward to the progression of the story.
