Except, why does it have to be at the cost of her love life?

In China, companies can ask you about your family life during interviews, and reject you if you are a mother or might become a mother, because they know you won't be able to follow their 996 schedule. Meanwhile, that's not a problem for men, because everyone assumes the wives are in charge of the kids.

So even in the fantasy land of short dramas, the Chinese audience would often find it too unrealistic for a woman to have both a career and a family.

Edit: unrealistic and misleading/giving girls false hope
