   This is quite remarkable. At first glance, you might think the male lead is pretentious and the female lead is love-obsessed, but that's not actually the case. The male lead accidentally learns that the female lead likes his aloof and restrained demeanor, but once he gets her, he stops loving her. He's afraid that after marriage, he'll still pretend to be aloof and lack care for her. Coincidentally, the female lead married him because of their child, and her parents' promiscuous behavior is exposed, causing her to suffer from gossip. The male lead doesn't notice any of this, which unfortunately leads to her developing postpartum depression. When she dies, she mistakenly believes that the male lead's "white moonlight" has returned to the country. Coincidentally, the male lead tells her that he wants to confess to the person he likes, assuming she understands. However, she mistakenly believes he's confessing to his "white moonlight," so she loses all will to live. In the hospital, she remains unconscious. The male lead proposes an idea: for her to fake a rebirth. He spends 180 billion to rebirth dozens of times, the last time corresponding to the first chapter. During what the female lead believes to be her rebirth, the male lead completely changes himself, constantly reminding himself, which is why he is possessive, domineering, and forceful in this life. In the end, the female lead wakes up and regains her sunny personality, and the two live happily ever after.

    All music and song ceased. I rested my chin on my hand, listening to the murmuring autumn waters, watching mayflies live and die in a day. Since even the Big Dipper cannot measure the vastness of the heavens, why is longing considered the most tender thing in the world? I sipped my wine amidst the falling blossoms, reflecting on the vicissitudes of life and the loneliness and desolation of humanity. A lone bird, undaunted by distance, flies to the far reaches of the world. A beautiful woman waits patiently for her beloved, willing to endure the passage of time, even if it costs her her heart and soul. My ethereal longing transformed into genuine emotion. I sensed the changing seasons by observing the changing scenery. With a touch of wine, I entrusted my heart's secrets to the eastward flowing river. Some things in this world endure forever, while others decay and vanish. Only your eyes still warm the memory of our old gatherings. All the sights and sounds of this world are like illusions, fleeting moments that cannot be escaped. The autumn wind bids farewell; may you understand my feelings and carry my dreams to where you are. October 18, 2026. Mr. Rabbit's novel, *Dust and Light Paint the Heart, Hao Palace, Wei Yi*, a slightly angsty long novel, has surpassed 2.6 Million words and is still being updated.
