Name: The Shattered Gardenia Blooms Again
Author: Is It Too Late?

Synopsis

She is a designer who hides scars beneath her watch, struggling with moderate depression and even feeling suffocated in enclosed spaces. Three years ago, Lu Nanjing vanished without a word, crushing the bright and cheerful Su Xin and leaving behind a sensitive, timid shadow.

He returned with the Lu empire in his hands, only to find her clutching the hem of her clothes and shrinking away when they met again. It wasn't until a rival's provocation made her faint and the sketchbook filled with drawings of him fell before his eyes that he learned the truth: she had waited for him for three years with her Strawberry Bear, and had even knelt to beg a doctor to hide her illness so she wouldn't hold him back.

“Sixty-one percent of Hengtai's shares are yours, and so is the rest of my life.” At a press conference, he pulled her forcefully into his arms, using his possessive tenderness to break down her defenses. He remembered that she was afraid of the dark and allergic to peaches, stayed by her as she fought her inner demons, and even his possessiveness at night was marked by the preciousness of having her back after losing her.

On the day they registered their marriage, he kissed the ring mark on her left ring finger. “Darling, from now on, I'll teach you how to be loved.”

Two years later, with twins at their knees, she came across the diary he had locked away. Every page said, “Missed her today.” It turned out that this redemption spanning the years had always been a perfect love, with both of them reaching for each other.

This book is really beautiful 😢 😢 😢 The characters are very delicately drawn, and the heroine is very heart-wrenching, but the male protagonist keeps leading the heroine out 😢 It's really good-looking, and I won't lose money if I invest in it.

The psychological description portrayed in this book is quite good, showing the emotions of the male and female protagonists. Maybe because I'm not the heroine, I can't empathize with her. I don't understand this kind of twisting, because a man can't continue to lose his goals in life. It may also be because I am not the male protagonist. I also cannot understand why he did not tell the female protagonist directly about his separation at the critical moment and turned around and left. Instead, he used a tough attitude to save the relationship three years later. Of course, if the hero and heroine didn't have such emotions, this novel wouldn't have started. All in all it's pretty good. (The above is just my personal opinion)

The emotions are very delicate and smooth, and it can be read with your mind. I especially like the first half of the book. The first half is very real, the heroine's psychological activities are real, the description of the illness is real, and the career line is also real. If it were a fun story, I would think that abusing the male protagonist would not be enough, but the beginning of this story is a bit more realistic and fairy tale-oriented. How to put it, everything in the past is important, but it is not important either. People always have to look forward. The heroine is really love-minded, but the setting is that she has been lacking love since childhood, which is reasonable.

Back then, Lu Nanjing had no choice but to leave without saying goodbye, which made Su Xin depressed and even wanted to commit suicide; after the reunion, Lu Nanjing's careful care and straight play allowed Su Xin to open her heart again, accept herself, and accept love!

It's a very sweet article. I hope that those who are destined can meet a male protagonist who loves and pampers them.

I'll comment before it's finished. It's a pretty good redemption. The heroine is very pitiful and I'm so in love with him. I hope the hero can reconcile and be happy and stop being abusive.

This book is very good. I read half of it, but I don't know why the rating is low.
