Wtf?

The concept as such is that the mc is like a farygoodmother that beats Up the cheating Boy of an Female lead in some univers. In what time that Person lives in depends in the univers the Female lead comes from.

i think this arc is right in the middle of the change in eras around what meiji/taisho eras would be for japan?

getting foreigner influence, such as clothes etc, like a clash of 2 eras?

I meant in this specific universe, where she took the place of the wife victim of domestic abuse. I'm aware of how this kind of story is supposed to work.

Maybe...? But she just said that the new guy's love died in a plane accident. And judging by the few wearing occidental outfits... Isn't that too modern? I don't know much about the history of China, so I don't know. You most likely are right.

im also not sure, it was just my guess.

then again it could be all jumbled up since the world is inside a novel so it could be a era of it's own XD

If I'm understanding my history correctly, this arc is probably set in a city like Shanghai in the 1920s-1930s. Shanghai then was glamorous and cosmopolitan, with a lot of music, art, commerce, cinema, and more going on. It would also explain why we're seeing a mix of the past and the modern, plus the East and the West, including the cars and microphones and cheongsams and Western suits.

Since it is fiction, some artistic licence is probably being taken. (Like the plane crash you mentioned. That would more likely have been a ship or train accident since plane travel wasn't common before the '50s, I think.) But I'm guessing that Old Shanghai from the 1920s is what the author is drawing inspiration from.

Thank you!

I think the setting is wonky cause it was based off a tv show, and most tv shows that are based off the past are incorrect in one way or another

i tought it was a novel made into a tv show?

Going by how they had hair and clothes, maybe thr 1920s/1930s, especially given all that talk of women and independence.

This is based on the Chinese Republic era which took place around 1910s to 1950.

This is when China started to industrialize itself and things like divorce and "freedom of love" become more "common" and all.

This is when the qipao starting popping up and people abandoned the old Manchu styled clothing from the Qing Dynasty.

People started to ride cars, airplanes, and mingle with the foreigners coming from England, Japan, and America among others.

You'll see both traces of the Qing dynasty and the Republic as usually settings like this focus on the change from old to new as well its impacts.

oof idk then man

Thank you!
