    🍄This is the book I've been reading lately. Readers kept commenting how heart-wrenching it was, and I thought it was nothing compared to this. But by chapter 90, I couldn't hold back my tears: 🌿14-year-old He Qian was powerless to seek justice for Xia Tian, ​​and 24-year-old He Qian was equally powerless to save his parents who had been framed! When 24-year-old He Qian fell from the rooftop in despair, he didn't know that the light hidden in Zhou Xuying's heart had also been extinguished! 🌱19-Year-old He Qian didn't know that Zhou Xuying loved him to the point of madness for two lifetimes! In her first life, Zhou Xuying guarded his corpse for two years, married his corpse without permission, and spoke to his corpse every day, expressing her love that was destined to be unrequited! In her mental breakdown, she forced a tattoo artist to tattoo a red-clad demon on her back in hopes of changing He Qian's fate; she even cut herself 89 times during their suicide pact—all of this 19-year-old He Qian knew nothing about! 🌿He only knew that he had experienced a love affair that felt like a home invasion robbery! He equally hated every "perpetrator" of power and influence who persecuted people. Zhou Xuying was a dark abyss he wanted to escape. 🌱 Just one month after 19-year-old He Qian transmigrated to a parallel world, he was imprisoned by Zhou Xuying! Zhou Xuying had actually transmigrated eleven years earlier, creating a safe haven—a cage—for He Qian in this world. He Qian hated him, but that didn't matter; he just wanted He Qian to safely pass the age of 24! He Qian would quietly die once he passed 24! 🌱 He Qian thought Zhou Xuying could recover as long as he cooperated with treatment, but Zhou Xuying had been insane for a combined 28 years across two lifetimes and was beyond saving! 🌿 The sight of He Qian lying in front of him, covered in blood, in his previous life was so jarring that he needed to constantly feel that He Qian was truly alive beside him: But living alone was so difficult! He wanted him to live, so why did he drive He Qian to suicide? 🌱 Waaah~ It's so heartbreaking! Thankfully, later on, both of them learned how to love each other, to be tolerant and understanding. Zhou Xuying learned to trust He Qian, and He Qian gradually came to accept Zhou Xuying! 🎉
