"Then why don't you put in more effort and turn the fake sister-in-law into a real one? That way, all the problems will be solved!"
I couldn't help but sigh, but I didn't know what to say in response...
Deep down, I don't like to fantasize about life being too wonderful, but what Dai Qiang told me was unbelievably wonderful.
