Seriously liking the story so far. Personally, I'd hope that her attitude towards him changes. I feel like it could turn out to be an awesome love story.
I think Stella should play some mind games of her own. Let Keegan watch some episodes of The Palace, and he’ll get subconsciously hot and bothered seeing Stella in her Queen costume lol. And then let him see the actual costume when he comes to pick up his stuff from their place lol
Great book.
There's something deeply symbolic about Yang Zhigang bringing chickens, ducks, geese, cats, and dogs to help his daughter-in-law and grandchildren. On the surface, it's practical - the animals can provide food, companionship, maybe even income if they're raised and sold. But underneath, I think the author is exploring what it means to build a life that sustains itself. These aren't pets for decoration; they're living things that require care, that give back in different ways. That's a metaphor for family itself. The children's progress with speech is another powerful symbol. Pingping and An'an struggle to form words, to connect with the world around them. When they finally say thank you, when they respond to their mother's questions, that's not just medical improvement - it's evidence that love and patience can open doors that seem locked. The author isn't suggesting that autism can be cured, but she's showing us that communication is possible, that connection is possible, that these children can find their voice in their own time. I also keep thinking about the house and the boat. Xiaorui mentions that she didn't leave the marriage with nothing - she has the house, the boat, the hillside. These aren't just assets; they're foundations. She has somewhere to stand, something to build on. And when she and her sister decide to make houses for the animals from cardboard, that's another layer of the symbolism - creating shelter, building protection, making a space where life can flourish. The cooking scene carries its own symbolic weight. Food is nourishment, yes, but it's also love made visible. When Han Xiaorui prepares this meal with such care - cleaning the prawns, building the sauce, timing everything perfectly - she's showing us what maternal love looks like in practice. It's not grand gestures; it's showing up, it's doing the work, it's making sure the people you love are fed and cared for. And the sisterhood itself is a kind of symbolism. Two women who choose each other, who refuse to let the other face hardship alone. In a world that often tells women to compete, to be self-reliant, to not burden others - these sisters are doing the opposite. They're building a network of care, a system of mutual support that makes survival possible.
