    This is a historical romance novel featuring two protagonists, one reborn and the other suffering. It's not mindless angst for the sake of angst; it's a classic "male lead chasing after his wife" story. The early chapters focus on the female lead's career, where she initially struggles and shows weakness. Later, the focus shifts to their relationship, and it's said she becomes a ruthless machine for tormenting the male lead. If you dislike indecisive female leads, it's recommended to skip to chapter 175 after the first ten, but you might miss many interesting side stories. The author's portrayal of the supporting characters is excellent. New to angst-filled novels, this is worth a read. It's relatively heart-friendly, but everyone is a villain, and even the supporting characters suffer. It has a variety of elements, and the author's writing is good.
