    Highly recommended! Don't be fooled by the low ratings. This book is seriously addictive! 😭 In the beginning, Xia Ye takes advantage of the female lead's deep love for him, acting recklessly and abusing his affections. He vehemently misunderstands her as the murderer, tormenting her with a mix of love and hate. The female lead is incredibly clear-headed! Heartbroken, she runs away, disappears gracefully, and gives birth to their baby alone. You absolutely must start reading from chapter 100; it's a complete epic tale of a wife-chasing saga. After the truth is revealed, Xia Ye is filled with remorse. There's also an adorable child who constantly teases his father and provides constant support. It's both heart-wrenching and sweet, with a deeply healing reconciliation story, and a solid happy ending.
