   Reader note

   In the first book, the female lead is extremely cruel to the male lead, constantly beating and verbally abusing him, but the male lead always finds ways to make her happy. The male lead was adopted by the female lead's father at the age of seven, and to provide blood for her (unbeknownst to her, she abused him daily), his health deteriorated significantly. He is mature and precocious, five years younger than the female lead, who is his entire world. The "chasing after him" plot is the female lead's imagination after his death, and she never actually pursued him; the male lead never blamed her. The male lead was truly abused terribly, never receiving the female lead's love in his entire life [crying]. In the second book, the female lead intentionally seduced the male lead from the beginning. The male lead was a very perfect man, but because the female lead repeatedly lowered her standards, he was crippled and infected by her, and driven to suicide twice by her, yet he still loved her [crying]. Moreover, the male lead was a chosen one, and no matter how the female lead harmed him, he ultimately survived. Then, feeling worthy of loving the female lead, he fawned over her again, only to be severely abused by her once more. The male lead was practically covered in wounds from the female lead's abuse [crying]. The third book, which I read a long time ago, begins with the female lead suffering from amnesia, appearing rather naive and unaware of her infidelity (to more than one man). The male lead is a devoted CEO who tolerates seeing the female lead and the second male lead in bed, as long as the female lead turns back. The male lead deeply loves the female lead and indulges her. Later in the story, there's a "chasing-back" plot where the male lead is easily won back by the female lead. The male lead is really worthless. In the fourth book, the female lead is supposedly reborn but mistakenly believes she's transmigrated into a book. The male lead initially begs her not to divorce him, but she still runs off to live a carefree life abroad. At first, the female lead works as a nanny at the male lead's house, taking care of him and their child. The male lead is also subtly trying to seduce her, hoping she'll change her mind and remarry him. The female lead tries to reunite the male lead with the original female lead, believing the original storyline shouldn't be broken, but the male lead only loves the female lead. The male lead believes the female lead should be a pampered, wealthy wife, wearing the most expensive jewelry and wearing a different outfit every day, instead of starting a clothing business (of course, he respects her decision to start a business). The final twist is quite unexpected; those interested can check it out. In terms of the intensity of the male lead's suffering, ②>①>③>④ (personal subjective opinion), ② is not only emotionally but also physically abusive; the male lead is crippled by the female lead. ① Also physically abuses the male lead, but not as severely as ②. However, ① is truly emotionally devastating.

   Reader note

   The first book was absolutely heartbreaking; I can't even describe how I felt while reading it. The author must be the male lead's "stepmother" (like the stepmother in Snow White). The second and third books both feature the male and female leads being reborn. In their previous lives, they had misunderstandings, and in their rebirths, the female lead only wants to be beautiful on her own, which is incredibly cruel to the male lead.
