    This story is about a pure-hearted boy who has secretly loved the female lead since childhood—you absolutely must read it!! The plot is very original, featuring a lively and spirited girl like an elf, a pure-hearted boy who secretly loves a determined and action-oriented guy, and a quirky second male lead who is her equal. In her previous life, the female lead was madly in love with the second male lead, but later discovered he was a selfish and obsessive madman. She divorced him and remarried the male lead, but died in childbirth. After being reborn, she wanted to redeem the male lead and stay away from the second male lead, but she discovered that the male lead himself was a very good person and didn't need anyone's help to succeed. Although it's somewhat like a redemption story, it's more of a nurturing story. The second male lead is also very clever; he subtly senses the female lead's coldness towards him and takes revenge on the male lead. The story depicts the female lead's helplessness at being unable to change either of them, and her clear-headed determination to change herself. Therefore, the second male lead and the male lead appear about the same amount of time. The author's writing is very natural and unpretentious. After reading it, I believe you will fall in love with the female lead's personality. Highly recommended!
