Yes thus is the thing with Chinese novels/manhua. They're always so black and white, bearing grudge, face slapping (ironically via the heroine having a rich guy). For a nation that stresses collectivism they have as much empathy between each other as cats and dogs. To me elegance is handling conflicts without being dragged down in negativity of face slapping.
I actually pity that girl, Ruo'er. She was always considered as prostitute's child and was seeking attention from everyone. Hated the one who had everything from the start (I mean her sister). Then in the end she was created like that by the author and so "raised" like that by that shitty father. I really pity her. I would myself prefer some better story for her especially - happy ending (something like they reconciled and decided to forgive eachother). All this story is somehow way to dark in my opinion.
