    She loved the second male lead, and he killed him. How far can love go? In his past life, he was killed by her beloved young master's dogs after peeping at her bathing. Reborn, he fought and fought, even setting his dog on her to get revenge. He fought and fought, forcibly taking her as his wife. Was he too indulgent and spoiling, causing her to always be secretly with her beloved? Even the child was born to her and her beloved, yet he lied and said it was his. He wanted to imprison her by his side forever, forcing his love upon her. He was controlling, forbidding her from seeing her beloved again. He was so obsessive that he only had eyes for her. He didn't understand why, despite his sycophantic behavior, she didn't love him. What was so special about her beloved? Now that she was poor and powerless, while he was rich and powerful, why couldn't he get her love? He just wanted her love, that was all. Was that too much to ask? His heart was broken. When would his jealousy of her being married end? He thought marriage would bind her heart, but it only bound her body to his side. He knew perfectly well she didn't love him. He believed that if he kept giving his heart, she would eventually fall in love with him. But why was it so difficult? His heart and love ached, bitterly swallowing all the grievances of being unloved. He thought the child was his, but its appearance broke his heart even more. She and her white moonlight were still so in love, but what about him? Was his love so worthless, so easily trampled upon? His heart finally died. It turned out that the wife he had forcibly taken never truly belonged to him. He let her go, but why did she come back? Some love given too late is destined to be tasteless, yet too precious to discard. Should he continue to pretend to be calm, feign ignorance, and still love her, or should he give himself a way out?

Pretending to wash their hands, pretending to look in the mirror, pretending to fasten their belts, just to catch a glimpse of the girl in the white shirt as they passed the reception desk. I didn't go. Not because I wasn't attracted—she sat there, sunlight streaming in from the floor-to-ceiling windows, making the skin below her collarbone glow with a soft light. I'm thirty-one, unmarried, and have no reason not to be attracted. But I work in HR.
