[Rebirth + period setting + unhinged male lead + highly intelligent, obsessive female lead + intense push and pull]
In her previous life, Zhao Xuan swallowed pills and killed herself the day after her mother was buried.
When Cheng Xiangyang heard the news, he spat blood on the spot. Then he went mad.
He hated his mother for pressuring Zhao Xuan into accepting a marriage proposal. He hated himself for not firmly choosing Zhao Xuan. And he hated the other Zhao sisters for never reaching her heart and giving her no reason to stay in this world.
So Cheng Xiangyang took revenge on everyone, himself included.
Reborn on the day of the proposal, Cheng Xiangyang gazed at the woman before him, who looked like an immortal yet wore a distant expression, and smiled through red-rimmed eyes.
This time, he couldn't afford to make a single mistake. Dignity? He didn't need it. Self-respect? He'd crush it underfoot.
As long as she stayed alive, he'd be willing to be her dog.
But...
With this highly intelligent, extraordinarily beautiful woman in front of him, Cheng Xiangyang had to fend off love rivals, win over his future mother-in-law, and help her overcome her self-destructive tendencies.
“Cheng Xiangyang, if you upset my mom again, I'm not talking to you.”
“Okay, okay! I won't upset her. I'll get down on my knees for you. I'll keep going crazy. Just don't stop talking to me...”
Are you not considering letting the male protagonist enter politics? I think it's interesting that you wrote about being in politics~
