   On the twenty-seventh floor, neon lights shone all night. Lu Jingshen juggled documents and drinking parties, yet he couldn't untangle the knot between two women. Lin Wan'er was his wife, calm and composed, her wedding ring gleaming faintly on her ring finger; Su Qing was his childhood sweetheart, obsessive and passionate, his name etched beneath her collarbone. A merger unveiled a web of lies. He thought he controlled everything, unaware that he was merely a pawn on the chessboard. When his wife dragged her suitcase towards the security checkpoint, when his childhood sweetheart stood beside the exploding cargo ship holding a remote control, Lu Jingshen finally understood—in this war waged in the name of love, no one could emerge unscathed. And what he owed was far more than just a debt of affection.

    Book Title: *Reborn, I Decisively Break Off My Engagement and Marry a Cold-Faced Military Officer* Recommendation: This is a romance novel with a rebirth theme, focusing on the female protagonist's rebirth and escape from her fiancé who still has a "white moonlight" (idealized love interest). A highlight is the female protagonist's decisive break from her engagement and new relationship after her rebirth. For example, while the male protagonist belatedly tries to win her back, the female protagonist is already happily with a cold-faced military officer. The author's writing is delicate, vividly portraying the characters' emotional transformation. Warning: The early scenes of the female protagonist being abused may cause discomfort. Real Reader's Review: Seeing the female protagonist's triumphant turnaround and decisively leaving the scumbag was very satisfying, and I was pleasantly surprised by her new relationship. Book Title: *The Chief Broke Off His Engagement for His "White Moonlight," I Won't Marry Him After Rebirth* Recommendation: This is a romance novel with a rebirth theme, focusing on the female protagonist's rebirth and refusal to repeat her past mistakes. The biggest highlight is the female protagonist's clear-headedness and decisiveness after her rebirth, resolutely rejecting the chief who broke off his engagement for his "white moonlight." For example, when the chief later pursued her, the female protagonist completely ignored him. The author's writing style is fluent, and the "wife-chasing-after-the-cry" plot is brilliantly depicted. Warning: There are many scenes involving the "white moonlight" (idealized love interest) in the early chapters. My honest review: Witnessing the heroine's transformation from being hurt to making the scumbag regret his actions was incredibly satisfying; I applauded the heroine's change.

    Not knowing when to return is the true meaning of parting. Once a dream enters, there's no turning back. "In my life, there are only three words: Lin Sze. These three words blinded me and clouded my judgment, leading me to do many foolish things. Even after nearly dying in Huzhou, I never regretted it.

The ending is a tragedy.
