In the novel, Bai Liu-su, who is a divorced woman, is discriminated by the family and community. She just wants to get rid of destiny of "mistresses" by trying all ingenious ways. She wants to marry Fan Liuyuan, and becomes his legal wife. It is a fact that she wants to be safer in finance.

No matter the view of marriage in two novels is a comedy or a tragedy, the heroes are respected for the rule, and they can’t break limitation of the community. They try their best to fight for their fight of survive. Elizabeth and Bai Liusu embody the women have consciousness that they are in the border.
