Well… if the story continues, once the male lead takes over his father's job, the love between the male and female leads, forged through numerous hardships, gradually calms down. Perhaps the male lead, at work or elsewhere, encounters a woman similar to or with a different personality than the female lead in her youth, and he might have an affair…
"Love should be equal; otherwise, if only one side is giving, it's destined not to last long." 👍😆
I really like the author's writing style.
This book is actually closer to reality. In reality, how many rich kids are truly chaste? And isn't the female lead's behavior just the kind of emotion most women would have? She's afraid of loving too much and not being able to walk away unscathed, yet she also hopes to be the most special one. It's very well written, just a bit angsty, but still within an acceptable range.
Their love story lasted 13 years; it was so painful. If either of them hadn't persevered, none of this would have happened. Thankfully, they finally got back together. Seeing the part where they both fell into a coma was really hard to bear.
It's alright, but the female lead makes me feel like she's a bit of a simp. I think this story would be much better if it were a tragic ending, or even better if the female lead just died outright. Although that's a bit cruel, I think the best way to get revenge on a scumbag is to make him remember someone forever, to suffer the pain of unrequited love. You know what?
It's beautiful, and it brings tears to my eyes. I'm over 40, haha.
It's a great story; "The Prodigal Son Returns" is one of my favorite tales.
It's angsty, extremely angsty (especially for the male lead), but also very good. It's not the kind of novel that makes you cry your eyes out. The male lead is a womanizer, but never gets involved with anyone, except for the female lead. The female lead is the stubborn type, unwilling to be a backup option or a mistress, so she leaves four or five times. But each time, the male lead finds her and they end up happily together. [Upvote][Upvote]
The male lead was really a jerk before, but the female lead seems to love him way too much. It's melodramatic and exciting. May they be happy forever!
