   This really made me cry so much. I felt so sorry for Zhizhi. The part where the male lead loved her deeply, and the female lead's condition worsened, was so heartbreaking. She wanted to leave him, not wanting to be a burden to him. The male lead was initially angry, but he proved him wrong. No matter how much the female lead tried to drive her away, she wouldn't leave. Then he learned that she had depression and bipolar disorder. It was so heartbreaking to see the male lead stay by Zhizhi's side, enduring her abuse and self-harm, even getting hurt himself. Finally, the female lead slowly accepted the male lead, started taking her medication, and gradually recovered. (The female lead also loved the male lead very much, but she had depression, knew her symptoms, and had suicidal tendencies. She wanted to leave so that the male lead wouldn't be hurt.)

   The female lead's mother is very controlling, and her father is always indifferent to family matters, giving all the fatherly love that should belong to her to his first love, his daughter. The female lead suffers from severe depression. The male and female leads secretly love each other, but the female lead misses the male lead's confession. The male lead thinks the female lead doesn't like him, and the two gradually lose contact. Many years have passed since the female lead learned of the male lead's feelings. She completely breaks down and attempts suicide, but is rescued and reunites with the male lead. She even becomes the male lead's father's patient, and the male lead silently accompanies her, trying to redeem her. The male lead confesses his feelings to her again, but the female lead is afraid to accept it. Although she was saved, she is dependent on medication for the rest of her life. She constantly blames herself for affecting the male lead and cannot be without guilt towards him even after marriage. The pacing is slow, and the story is quite long. The female lead is somewhat weak, and her controlling mother is a bit infuriating at times. After being rescued, the female lead's health is not good, and the relationship between the male and female leads develops very slowly. The plot is good, and if you find the elements acceptable, you can give it a try. However, if you're only attracted by the character settings, I wouldn't recommend watching it.

    Mu Ci'an perished in the villa fire along with the man who had imprisoned her for three years. In her final moments, she realized the depth of his love, though his methods had been too extreme. Once, when the shadow of death loomed over the betrayer's conspiracy, she never imagined Qin Anran would recklessly rush into the flames. On the verge of death, he held her tightly in his arms, and in that moment, she suddenly found peace: "No one taught me how to love. In the next life, teach me, let me love you just once." The gears of fate quietly turned back, and Mu Ci'an was reborn. This time, she transformed into a cold-blooded demon, showing no mercy to those who had betrayed her. At the same time, she poured all her love and endless tenderness into Qin Anran. But she never expected that the seemingly crazy and possessive Qin Anran from her previous life would spoil her to the extreme in this one. In daily life, he was always careful, afraid she might bump into something, gently asking if she was in pain. (In the first half, Mu Ci'an outwardly appears as: clingy + insecure + self-harming (when the male lead isn't around)... Inwardly: yandere + madman + brutal + (the more bloody, the better.)) ② In her past life, she was blind and heartless, which is why she rejected a top-tier, handsome big shot. Reborn, Su Luoluo looks at the man from her past life who broke into the dungeon to save her and ultimately died tragically there, and her heart aches so much she just wants to cry. "Baby, I want to date you." The big shot's shocked eyes turned bloodshot, his voice hoarse to the extreme, "Be good, don't lie to me, I'll take it seriously." Su Luoluo nodded desperately. In this life, she only wanted to punish her treacherous subordinates and then cherish Li Beichen.
