    1️⃣A slightly old-fashioned time-travel novel🔥The female lead travels through time for a mission the first time, marries the male lead, has a child, and is later brought back to the modern world. She travels through time again, and the male lead humbly begs her to stay… What I love most is that the female lead goes through many trials, but the male lead is always there whenever she turns back. However, the female lead's love is very clear-headed, causing some angst for the male lead, so although the ending is a happy one, it also has a slightly tragic feel to it.

    Reader note

    The female lead transmigrates into a novel with a tragic plot, but because the male lead has mind-reading abilities, she can't complete her storyline. However, sometimes, fearing she might harm herself to complete the plot, the male lead will cooperate with her. Because of the female lead's final plot point—jumping off the city wall—the male lead, who had actually fallen for her long before, selfishly didn't want her to go home, even knowing she jumped to return. He ruined her planned plot and forcibly imprisoned her, but he remained incredibly kind to her. The female lead genuinely wanted to go back, even after falling for the male lead, so there's a slight element of angst here.
