    The first book 🌸 is a "wife-chasing-after-the-cremation" story. The female lead is incredibly clear-headed, and the extreme tug-of-war is so captivating! The plot is fast-paced, and the female lead can just leave whenever she wants. The second book 🌸 has a female lead who never falls in love with the male lead in the end, which is a real shame. There are many sweet moments, but the female lead is too cold-hearted. It's the first time I've felt sorry for the male lead in a novel. The rating is low because the author disappeared for a while, but it's now finished. The third book 🌸 is another angst-filled story featuring a female player! The female lead is a master of time management, and there are tons of love triangles. The plot is quite normal, without any melodramatic imprisonment.

    This book is absolutely torture for both the male and female leads! However, the female lead is abused by various supporting characters, while the male lead is only abused by the female lead because he is too powerful as a domineering CEO. But the degree of abuse is definitely not shallow. I cried my eyes out in several chapters! Sisters who love angst, long-awaited reunions, and domineering CEO romances, go for it!!!
