Synopsis

An artist heroine VS a gentle, refined young gentleman [Rekindled romance + reborn and pursuing her husband + devoted to each other + bittersweet, sweet romance]

On the thirty-eighth day after Shen Xingmo’s death, Lu Zhili returned to two years earlier. Thinking she’d slipped into a dissociative state again, she made a choice completely different from the one she’d made before: she barged into the wedding she remembered, the one between Shen Xingmo and another woman.

She snatched the microphone and called out his name.

Then someone came hurrying over, hoisted her over his shoulder, and carried her away by force.

“Lu Zhili, what are you acting crazy for now?”

Convinced that everything around her was an illusion, Lu Zhili was willful and spoiled.

“I won’t let you marry someone else.”

Shen Xingmo’s gaze darkened. “So you came to make a scene at my uncle’s wedding?”

Shen Xingmo was a wealthy young gentleman born with a silver spoon in his mouth in Hong Kong. From childhood, he had followed the smooth, well-laid path his family had chosen for him.

That is, until he met Lu Zhili.

For the first time, he went against his family’s wishes and agreed to date her. The second time, he fell out with his family, followed her to her city, and agreed to marry her.

But even if you try your hardest to hold on to beautiful fireworks, they’ll eventually fade away.

After their divorce, he thought his life would return to normal.

But the woman who had disappeared for three months barged back into his life once again.

Lu Zhili was like an irresistible enchantress, now more capricious and clingy than she’d ever been before.

“Ah Mo, I love you so much. Will you give me a kiss?”

Afraid of repeating the past, Shen Xingmo didn’t want to get tangled up in this baffling situation again, but his body moved toward her all the same.

He cupped her chin, his earlobes red as blood.

“Where did you learn to say things like that, hmm?”

“I didn’t learn it anywhere. I mean it. Ah Mo, I love you most of all.”

Are There Really No High-Quality Women’s Fiction Books Anymore?

Looking for books similar to "Quick Transmigration: The Charming Beauty of a Villainous Cannon Fodder". I’m so frustrated. Some quick-transmigration authors really don’t understand what quick transmigration means, and drag a single arc out for a hundred chapters. I hope someone can recommend some fast-paced, high-quality stories with no romance. No number one...

The author is truly skilled at character development. The male lead is finally not the typical carefree brat; he's a refined and virtuous young nobleman, incredibly gentle, and a model son in his mother's eyes. He deeply loves the female lead, considerate and gentle yet retaining his own unique charm.

This is the first time I've read a male lead of this type. He's incredibly tolerant and gentle towards his family, lover, and friends. He's sensitive to the emotions of those around him, knows how to love, provide companionship, and even act affectionately with his parents and relatives.

The plot and characters are fantastic. Watching Zhizhi and Shen Xingmo dance on the terrace, Zhizhi painting the moon's reflection in the water, and running in the rain, she's like a romantic madwoman. To some, it's just rain, but to Zhizhi, it's falling stars. The connection isn't obvious, yet you can still feel a hopeful breakout.

I stayed up all night reading it, and got up early this morning to continue reading—it's so addictive! Zhizhi's transformation from being initially withdrawn to gradually becoming more willing to talk to Amo is truly wonderful, especially with the male lead's guidance! The uncle and aunt are also very interesting, and there are some subtle foreshadowing elements.

This is a very good novel. The female protagonist is reborn carrying the regrets and traumas of her past life. In the early stages, due to severe psychological problems, her behavior is somewhat paranoid, but she gradually confronts her psychological issues and learns to talk to the male protagonist about them.

A fairly complete novel. The female protagonist is quite ill, but she manages her expressions very well, always displaying a calm and collected demeanor despite her inner turmoil. The root cause of her mental illness is her dysfunctional family background. Before meeting the male protagonist, the female protagonist was quite pitiful.

I've been in a reading slump lately, so I've been reading everything. This is my favorite book recently. The characters are very vivid, and I especially love their personalities. The plot is also great; it made my emotions rise and fall just like the characters in the book. They complement each other, grow, and change.

It's a good watch, but the female lead might be sick, and her thoughts are sometimes very erratic that I don't understand. For example, she climbs onto the windowsill wanting to sleep with the male lead in the study. At first, I didn't understand this part and thought the female lead was acting strangely, always playing on the windowsill in the middle of the night, hahaha!

Super tear-jerking! Every chapter, every word, every sentence has a tear-jerking moment. I literally cried buckets. The author's writing is incredibly delicate and beautiful, so touching. The female lead is a bit abnormal in the early stages, but Shen Xingmo is incredibly kind, relying on Zhizhi.

The author's writing is exquisite, beautifully depicting both the artist's romantic perspective on life and the sensitive, contradictory, and conflicted inner world. It feels like the deep sea, with vibrant imagery interwoven with delicate emotions. Depression no longer feels like the stereotypical image of repression, dullness, and pain.
