A review by shintaf
Second Marriage of a Wealthy Old Man by Tangerine Boat 橘子舟

emotional hopeful medium-paced

4.0

I would say that this is a very light read for such a heavy theme. I enjoy how we were not only following the mc throughout his revenge plot but also his love story and how he was living his best lives.

Meng Yang felt, although no one could not choose their own birth, everyone should have the right to choose their own life. Parents bringing their children into this world was the parents' unilateral choice, not the children's choice. Parents had the responsibility to teach their children independent thinking and independent ability. They had the obligation to nurture and teach their children before they reach adulthood. Even if it was a life that was countless times better than ordinary people, it was still something the parents themselves were willing to give, rather than it was something the child asked them to give before or after birth. So it shouldn't be a reason for parents to control their children’s freedom of marriage just because they were born to them. 

Next, love Meng Yang for always being an amazing support for Luo Xiu. His thoughts about filial culture are very much needed, especially in this context where milking tf out of your kid’s considered as a repayment for giving birth to you. 

Overall, I never expected something extraordinary to happen in the story so I pretty much liking everything.
