He just doesnt care… it’s like he doesnt have the ambition other than support family… other novel would make ml go revenge or something, Liulang just go with th flow and apathetic in certain things.. actually it is the same with jiao2 certain times ignore whatever that not insterest her

I thought I was the only one who has this kind of thoughts. Man has no balls. And the fact that he has no plan about his real identity is also infuriating. Like, will he reveal himself or stay as Xiao Liulang until the very end? But based on the previous chapters, he doesn't have a frickin' clue on how to continue his life in the capital. He could've just stay in the countryside if he wasn't ready by not passing the exams, it's not like jiaojiao forced him to do so. And all of his misfortunes, my god have some balls please? Jiaojiao literally kept helping and helping you but you are not helping yourself. You keep on burdening her. You literally said it yourself that having no status means you have no voice, no one will take side on a "lame country bumpkin" such as yourself! Please, improve yourself, Liulang. You are irritating all of the readers.

Ah, so tolerating silently is being spineless, but Jiao Jiao is the same, she'll tolerate pettiness towards herself but not towards her family. He's the same. If JJ were to be experiencing this he'd stand up for her. He just can't be bothered with them. Also, Have you forgotten that the poor guy was traumatised by a fire and betrayal? Maybe he's just biding his time waiting for the right opportunity. He's a stoic like JJ.
