Bupleurum

[Devoted husband + satisfying revenge + broken engagement + strong female lead + everyone's favorite + second marriage, first time]

Chai Hu is an herb in traditional Chinese medicine used to soothe the liver, relieve depression, and raise yang energy. In this novel, it is also the name of a woman with a stunning figure.

Born into a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, she has little interest in the field.

In middle school, her appearance brings her plenty of grief.

It even indirectly leads to "her father's death and her mother's madness."

Every boy who gets close to her is covetous of her.

In the end, she chooses to marry a man who seems to "respect" her very much.

After the wedding, she endures a loveless marriage.

At last, Chai Hu grows stronger. She tears into the other woman, stands up for her best friend, breaks off her engagement, and bravely pursues love.

Zhou Jian studied traditional Chinese medicine from undergraduate through doctoral level under Chai Hu's father.

Chai Hu's childhood friend has always guarded her quietly, even personally seeing her off to her wedding.

When Chai Hu finally opens her heart and tells him how she feels, Zhou Jian can no longer bear to hand the woman he loves over to someone else.

After all their twists and turns, two hearts that have loved each other for so long finally embrace.

Zhou Jian discovers that Chai Hu is actually inexperienced...

At last, Chai Hu understands the feeling her friends described as "loving him so, so much."

Zhou Jian's arms finally give out, and he collapses. "Chai Hu, even if you took my life right now, I'd give it to you willingly..."
