    In this book, the second male lead wins. The male lead is someone who lacked love from childhood, which leads to his various acts of tormenting the female lead. Actually, he loves the female lead, very much so, but his upbringing prevented him from knowing how to love, so his way of showing his love is flawed. After reading many tragic novels, I always hope that the male and female leads in all these stories don't end up together, because the hurt is real, and no amount of amends can cover up the past sins. Therefore, I think this novel is quite good. The female lead is clear-headed enough and ends up with the second male lead, even if she may not love him, it's still the best ending.

    Highly recommended!!! Hatred was sown in her heart, and every act of indifference and every beating and insult from Song Yanni nurtured its growth. Constantly bullied, humiliated, and abused, Gu Xihuan had considered killing them. However, she was too weak; she couldn't lift her hand to strangle them, unable to end a living life. The only thing she could decide was her own. Reporters with recording equipment watched the girl fall from the high-rise, like a withered flower falling from the sky. It was heartbreaking and regrettable. They would never know that Gu Xihuan paid the price with her own life to sever the connection between her and the Gu family, cutting off her ties to the world and gaining the freedom and rebirth she had always dreamed of. This flower no longer needed to be forced to bloom by the gardener in various ways. Her fading away was the most beautiful moment of her life. It was the moment she gained her freedom and completed her revenge.
