Description
In the seventh year of my marriage to the affectionate second male lead, the female lead returned. She had quarreled with the male lead and stood in the rain in front of my house: “Brother Meng, I have nowhere else to go.” My usually calm and composed husband, Meng He Shu, lost his temper: “I’m going to find him and settle this!” Even my seven-year-old son, Meng Bai, waved his little fist: “Fairy Sister, don’t cry, I’ll marry you when I grow up.” While they all scrambled to cheer her up, I was trapped on a fishing boat by the sudden downpour, having gone out to buy fresh river fish. The boatman was shouting at the shore, trying to attract more passengers: “Anyone else going to Qingzhou?” I looked down at the basket, where I had just bought three hairtail fish, with only one or two taels of silver left. I handed the boatman a tael of silver and asked: “How far can I get with one tael of silver?”

My Thoughts on Ah Qiao
"Ah Qiao" is a josei drama that explores themes of familial love, self-discovery, and found family in ancient China. While the story is complete, the translation is still ongoing, but I couldn't resist diving in to see what all the buzz was about. Overall, it's a quick read with a lot of heart, but it also left me with some conflicted feelings.
First Impressions
The premise immediately grabbed me. Ah Qiao, a woman neglected by her husband and son, finally decides to leave and forge her own path. I was intrigued to see how she would navigate this new chapter and find happiness on her own terms.
What Works Well
Many readers praised Ah Qiao's strength and resolve. I appreciated how she refused to settle for a life where she was constantly taken for granted. Her decision to leave her husband, who clearly prioritized another woman, felt empowering. I also found the found family aspect of the story very heartwarming. Her relationship with Ah Hu, the abandoned boy she adopts, is genuinely touching and provides her with the unconditional love she was missing. The author did a great job of portraying the complex emotions involved in forming a new family and letting go of the past.
Areas of Concern
While I admired Ah Qiao's decision to leave her husband, I struggled with her choice to abandon her biological son. I can understand her disappointment in his behavior, but it felt extreme to cut him out of her life completely. It's a controversial point, and I can see both sides, but it made it harder for me to fully connect with Ah Qiao as a character.
