In most of the novel world of arranged marriage, where male leads are divorced and betrayed, it appears female characters are the heinous villains.
It wouldn't be wrong to call Ling Qingyu a villain now, ungrateful and disrespectful to the elders. And most notably against the male protagonist.
Ling Qingyu somehow had sympathy for the females in this era. The society norms were really against them and restricted their freedom.
Back in the days when Ling Qingyu read those types of webnovels, she also felt the female characters were too much.
The most famous one began with 'Battle through the Heaven' and the style later became a trend for the days to come.
Now it wouldn't be wrong to say she supported Nalan Yanran's movement. When the rules and society wrapped up how women should behave, she dared to break the norm.
A sign of courage rarely seen in women around the world.
