Don't be too self-conscious

Poor Marla, too self-conscious. Maybe it would have ended better if she had told Roy the truth instead of committing suicide. Her suicide was just a relief for herself, but it made Roy sad for a lifetime, and also caused Roy's lifelong psychological trauma. Netizen Leng Yue Qian Shan said: "The highest state of love is to make your lover happy and peaceful." Mara failed to do this.

Mara is too brave. To tell the truth, there are two possibilities: one is to be abandoned; the other is that Roy accepts her. Although the latter is unlikely to materialize, from Roy's point of view, neither of these two possibilities will cause his lifelong psychological trauma. Either he can find another lover, or he can insist on spending his life with Mara, in short, Mara telling the truth may make Roy happy and peaceful. But Mara was afraid of being abandoned, too scared, too scared, too scared, causing this tragedy.

Of course, it takes courage for Mara to tell the truth and a huge sacrifice for Roy's happiness.

In a way, Marla is too selfish.

Mara is not afraid of death, what is there to be afraid of? She is not afraid of death, but she is afraid that Roy will dislike her. Roy disliked her more terrifying than death. She loves Roy so much.

Love ruined her.

Just two days ago, I heard a line in the series "Dog Fighting Stick": "Why are women's lives in the hands of men?!" Sometimes this is indeed the case.
