Agreed. I was hoping she might be a good girl or someone trying to be morally upright and honest even if they dislike someone at first... I wasn't expecting Jinyu and Jiaojiao to be friends, but I was hoping they could at least get along to some degree without trying to stomp all over each other and was hoping that they might struggle some, but perhaps would be able to form an adoptive family relationship with at least some basic respect and consideration for each other like the way it is sometimes when looking at mixed families like the original situation of yao-shi and the original 3 gu boys, but with less attempted harming of each other or no harming of each other. Like how you might see in modern families with adoption or remarriage. Sadly it appears like instead we're getting something of a villainness who has been not-so-slowly sliding down a slippery slope and becoming worse and worse. Read more

It's her upbringing. If only Yao shi had cared even vaguely she'd never be this scheming. It's just that since she was a child she understood that her value lay in what glory she could earn for herself. She was never liked for herself

Yeep. It's sad. At least if she continues down this path I can gradually stop feeling bad for her.

@kahluadragon I’ve read some of your comments and thought you and some semblance of sense but I guess I was wrong. How could you possibly blame Yao Shi for Jinyu’s ignorance, vanity, and lack of morals? From the few times we’ve seen them interact (especially prior to Gu Jia’s identity being known) she was a loving, understanding mother. She admitted that she initially felt a disconnect but had done her best to fill in the gap. what more could you POSSIBLY want from her? If your argument is that Yao Shi neglected her I would like to ask you what you would do differently. Married to a man she didn’t want, constantly ostracized and demeaned by her in-law and stepsons, and with a son who has a debilitating heart disease. Meanwhile, the grandmother was said to dote on Jinyu and the father is clearly an idiot who spoils her rotten (rotten she is). So she poured into Gu Yan who was clearly being left out. If anything, Yao Shi was the ONLY good influence Jinyu had as she was realistic with her daughter. Not too doting but not neglectful. It’s absolutely laughable that you could even fix your fingers to type such nonsense.

Thanks for the EXTRA chapter*** 😘😘😘😘😘
