In the Name of Family was an online romance novel with a rather complicated storyline. The following are the possible explanations for He Mei's and Chen Ting's difficulties: He Mei was a complicated character in the novel. She had been betrayed and hurt, but she had been trying hard to recover her self-esteem and confidence. Her experiences had made her a strong, independent person with a story. It had also given her a deeper understanding and insight. Therefore, He Mei's cleansing might require a certain amount of time and effort. She needed to rebuild her own values and beliefs in her heart, and she also needed to face the doubts and criticism from readers and the public. In contrast, it was more difficult for Ting Chen to clear her name because she had made mistakes before, but these mistakes did not bring her any substantial harm or change her nature. Ting Chen might need more public recognition and affirmation to prove that her mistakes were not unforgivable. She also needed to face the pain and guilt in her heart to gradually let go of her past mistakes. In addition, the storyline in the novel might also have some logical irrationality and bugs, which might affect the difficulty and speed of the character's whitewashing.
