   The female lead's experience is incredibly tragic. Everyone says "The Love That Cuts to the Bone" is very heart-wrenching. Perhaps Shen Xiujin at least didn't kill Jian Tong, but this male lead genuinely had a "white moonlight" (a term for someone who is unattainable love) and only felt some guilt towards the female lead. He truly took her kidney and forced her to donate blood to his "white moonlight," ultimately causing the deaths of both the female lead and her daughter.

She repeatedly asks him if he truly loves her. Perhaps she would be willing to abandon worldly views and let go of hatred. They become fuel for the feud between their families. The more sensible she is, the less people care about her. He forces her into a business marriage, and she agrees to divorce him immediately. A sea of ​​hatred and love, a bloodbath and deep-seated hatred, they are forced into a business marriage due to family feuds and love, a marriage of convenience that blossoms into love. They have a child, but no feelings remain. She is imprisoned by him and can't go anywhere. He thinks her words in the middle of the night are just dreams. She pretends to measure his neck with a rope, but when he discovers it, she says she's measuring a necklace and asks if he believes her. He then goes berserk and ties her hands with a rope to make her realize that they are enemies. She and the child cry with tears in their eyes, and his heart aches for them, but he shows no pity. She packs her bags to escape, but he discovers her. He doesn't understand how painful it is for her to leave. He clearly doesn't like her, so why is he acting this way?

He began to understand his own heart and felt a sense of kinship with her. He treated her like a beloved person, making her happy. He never fed her before, but started feeding her even his son. He knew she was already in his heart. He realized what loving someone was like. He never knew that loving someone could make him give everything. But when she asked him if he loved her, he still stubbornly refused to admit it. He remembered his grandfather's words: "A man without love is carefree." She asked him again if he loved her, and he unconsciously and gently admitted it in his sleep. Until she regained her memory, their marriage was blocked by his father. He didn't understand why it was his parents who wanted him to marry her, and it was also his parents who wanted them to divorce. What exactly did he and she do wrong? Why ignore their love when they became victims of generations of feuds? He once thought their marriage was secure. His father offered him 50 million to leave her, but he resolutely refused. However, when he heard her demand 500 million for a breakup, his heart sank. It turned out she didn't love him; their love was nothing but a pipe dream.

He chased after her for love, not even considering the danger to his life. He begged her to come home, but she refused. Her family thanked him, leaving her confused. Why were they thanking him when they were clearly enemies? Then his father arrived. Were the two feuding families about to fight again? Or were they setting aside their prejudices to prevent the next generation from facing all the family feuds? Could they still be lovers?

    Heartbreakingly, she witnessed the cruelty of family ties. Everyone is given life by their mother, so why do good people often die young? She possessed the superpower to resurrect others, and she devoted herself wholeheartedly to reviving her deceased relatives. She endured hardship and exhaustion, receiving no gratitude in return, yet she never blamed them. Instead, they mistook her for a fraud, beating and verbally abusing her. She still selflessly helped them revive. However, some of her deceased relatives, repaying kindness with enmity, sought to kill her. She felt disheartened. It was her mother who appeared and protected her. A mother's love is worthy of praise because even in death, she wants to protect her living relatives. She wanted to revive her mother, but because she was busy working out of town, she couldn't see her mother one last time. The plight of young people is that first- and second-tier cities can't accommodate those without ambition, and third- and fourth-tier cities can't accommodate their souls. When she returned to the moment her mother was alive, how could she not know that her mother would leave her? Happiness is actually very simple. Eating her mother's cooking makes her feel like she has a home, while outside she feels like a homeless person. But she failed; she became truly homeless. Everyone says that home is where her mother is, but without her mother, she has no home at all. She doesn't know how to go on living. She mixes her tears with rice, filled with self-blame. The pain traps her in her own world, preventing her from escaping. Why are others so happy? She so envies others with complete families. Her heart is missing a piece, and she can only eat salty rice with tears in her eyes to survive. But who is she living for? She doesn't know. She only knows to live like a walking corpse for now. Only by living can she not betray the feelings her mother had when she saved her. But she really doesn't know how to live anymore. How should she live a good life? Perhaps she needs enough time to become numb before she can regain the feelings she should have.
