In the first ancient romance novel, the time-traveling, obsessive male lead initially uses the wrong methods, causing the heroine to be indifferent to him. The two engage in a tug-of-war, with the male lead resorting to force and demanding, resulting in unrequited love. In the second novel, the heroine remains clear-headed and doesn't love the male lead. In the third novel, the heroine is delicate and doesn't understand love in the early stages. Therefore, the male lead's actions hurt her, making her indifferent to him as well.
