He unexpectedly passes away in Iceland, and in the end, it's her, as his legal wife, who fulfills the love he's kept hidden his whole life. The story is restrained and quiet throughout, and has a very strong aftertaste. I highly recommend the first book.

    It's not about rebirth, substitution, or a typical sweet campus romance. This is a fateful romance with a sci-fi-style memory setting, questioning the nature of humanity, self, and the essence of love. Chen Luo's struggles and descent into depravity, Du Xiaoyu's innocence and kindness, Du Xiaoxiao's tragic waiting, Shen Yuan's unyielding obsession, and Wu Yan's devoted and restrained love are all depicted with exquisite detail.

    I recommend the first book. It avoids deliberate sentimentality, offering a glimpse into a hopeless love story from the perspective of the legal wife. From discovering the secret to escorting the ashes back home, the calm prose encapsulates immense sorrow, blurring the lines between love and hate, leaving a lingering, unsettling feeling after reading.
