Looking at the whole novel, we can see that Lang Dan was originally happy in his previous marriage, and his life "seems to be very rich", and he is satisfied both materially and spiritually. When the truth comes out, the original happiness will only make him more miserable. He thought that a happy marriage brought him only deception and shame. Fortunately, he later became "rich" and should enjoy the happiness brought by money.

However, the second marriage still brought him "a lot of pain", although his wife was "very disciplined". Compared with the previous two marriages, what the author wants to tell readers is his view on marriage life: the essence of marriage is pain. No matter whether the woman you marry is well-behaved or impolite, she has her own sufferings. Therefore, married life ultimately brings people pain.

Artistic features:

This novel has distinct artistic features. First of all, the psychological description is very delicate. In addition to the psychological presentation of real contact, the works indirectly describe and analyze the psychology of the characters through their behaviors and languages.

The combination of these two methods makes the work comprehensively and profoundly depict the spiritual track of the characters and touch the depths of the characters' souls, thus shaping distinctive characters and effectively expressing the theme. Secondly, the structure is concise and neat. The work takes "jewelry" as the clue to arrange the story, with clear clues and simple structure.

But the jewelry changed from "fake" to real, which made the plot vivid and full of waves. When arranging the structure, the work briefly describes the depravity of Long Dan's wife, and describes in detail the process of Long Dan's inheritance of his deceased wife's jewelry, which not only avoids similarities, but also reserves enough suspense for the development of the plot, making the structure itself look very neat and avoiding the loose main structure that may be caused by numerous branches and leaves. In addition, the language of the novel is refined and delicate.

All the explanations related to the plot process are simple and concise, while delicate language is used to describe the characters' psychology in order to be vivid and vivid. The author's use of language is subject to the needs of depicting characters and arranging structures, and is unified with them.
