The male and female leads torment each other; she's courageous and resolute, while he's indifferent; she finally lets go, but he's still yearning for her. Early on, the female lead is slandered, forced into drug use, and suffers a miscarriage; later, she seeks revenge, while the male lead spends two years in prison and becomes a vegetable, bedridden for five years, before finally reuniting with her. The second female lead's story with the male lead is also heartbreaking; they deeply love each other, but are ultimately separated by death. So tragic!

I only found out when this book was completed that I wasn’t allowed to include a childbirth plotline. I had only 24 hours to make edits, and by the time I saw the notice, there were only a few hours left. As a result, the book is now riddled with bugs from all the rushed edits.

    My heart ached for Lu Yu, the younger sister, throughout the entire story! She was the most innocent sacrifice in the family, a tragic tool used to drive the romance between the male and female leads. No matter how epic her brother's love story was, it couldn't mend the cracks in her sister's shattered life. The price was too heavy.
