Re: Chapter 8

This allows couples to share their emotions, senses, dreams, and seemingly even lets them control each other's bodies.
We're all thinking about creative uses for this technology, right? Incidentally, the author of Divination set this up and never actually used it, to my eternal disappointment.

She adds that, after carefully reading all the documentation for the couples module
I like the unexpected character trait of Bian Jin being the kind of conscientious nerd who reads end-user licence agreements.

She decides that she can't try to rush things, in case she damages what Shen Ni had worked so hard to repair.
I like the emerging theme of Bian Jin starting to look after herself because she treasures all the hard work Shen Ni put into fixing her.

She wonders if Shen Ni had a lover at the time they were commanded to marry, and whether the marriage has affected Shen Ni's relationship with this hypothetical lover.
Bian Jin, what are you doing, why have you invented a whole imaginary girlfriend for Shen Ni.

When she gets out of bed, she sees that Shen Ni is cuddling a fat, yellow soft toy.
I somehow INTENSELY need this to be a Pikachu soft toy.

The colleague emphasises that now they're married, all their money is held jointly, so their spouse really should have told them.
Wow, what is this marital property regime? Community property PLUS? Community property RETROACTIVE?

since she and Shen Ni and now married and hold their property in common, she should let Shen Ni know that she's planning to make such a big purchase
Again, the nerdy conscientious side of Bian Jin poking her head out.

I'm kind of ready now to see more characters emerge. We haven't had a single new named character for a few chapters now. Also, keen to see Zeng Qingluo return to help Shen Ni with her scheming.
