WHAT THEY REALLY MEAN (PRAGMATIC SUBTEXT)
“You are just using him for his family connections, and he is completely blind to your manipulation.”
💡 Cultural Insight: Utilitarian Marriage vs. True Love

Chinese society historically balanced pragmatic family status matching (men dang hu dui) with modern ideals of romantic love, making accusations of marrying purely for family connections particularly stinging and shameful.
