    Recently, I discovered an excellent novel about rebirth, palace fighting, and house fighting, "Rebirth, May You Be Happy Forever" on Tomato Listen. The heroine, Ye Ruan, is so happy to be tortured and slapped in the face after being reborn, and there is also an emotional line of a sinister prince. The plot is full of ups and downs. I highly recommend it to everyone.
