Initially, the female lead, driven by greed, seduces the school heartthrob, engaging in a power struggle with him and his "white moonlight" (his unrequited love). The male lead abandons his "white moonlight" and marries his half-brother, who then experiences a similar "wife-chasing-after-the-cremation" scenario, discovering an affair and becoming jealous.

    This is a collection of stories about a man who tries to win back his wife after a failed attempt. In the first story, the male lead betroths the female lead to the second male lead, and the female lead drugs him to seek revenge. The male lead later regrets his actions and wants to win the female lead back. It's very dramatic and worth saving for later.

    The male lead's pursuit of his wife is a classic "chasing after a fire" trope (not cliché, not cliché, not cliché).

    Both leads are strong and both are morally upright! Not cliché at all! Completely different from those celebrity-themed novels where everyone hates the female lead. The female lead is a stunningly beautiful, delicate woman, while the male lead is incredibly obsequious at first. The plot twists and turns endlessly, featuring a masterful subservience, forceful acquisition, and a tumultuous pursuit of his wife! So exciting! [Drooling emoji] [I highly recommend it!]
