   This is a heart-wrenching story of unrequited love across two lifetimes. In her previous life, she mustered the courage to confess her feelings, only to be rejected. In this life, she suffers unrequited love, filled with bitterness and pain. How can one love someone only to be unable to love them in secret? The regrets of her past life suddenly manifest in a second life, and she chooses to be brave again. But when she returns to school, reliving their encounters and every moment together, she is still rejected. She wants to cry; why is her love, rekindled, still trampled upon? It seems no one supports her being with him. Early romance is forbidden, and the idea of ​​a poor girl like her being with a rich man like him is unacceptable. The vast class difference... Unaware of the many obstacles to her love, her only stroke of luck was seeing her mother again—the one who gave her life, raised her, and loved her most. Even in poverty, her mother was willing to give her the best food. Life is full of regrets, but love isn't just one kind. He demanded money from her, and her mother was called in to ask for leave. Her mother, already working hard, had to come and deal with her troubles, which made her feel incredibly guilty. Later, she stopped talking to him. She went to university and worked hard at part-time jobs to support herself. That familiar voice, that familiar person, carried her away. She was at a loss. Hadn't he rejected her confession? Her bittersweet love, her unrequited affection, had actually made progress. Those days made her very happy. Aside from class, she spent all her time with him, like a happy married couple. This was the love she had dreamed of for two lifetimes. But she was also apprehensive, afraid his love was just a momentary lapse of judgment. He was so rich, she was so poor—what was there for her not to understand? She knew all too well about class differences. She was infatuated with love, yet tried to soberly detach herself. She proposed marriage to him, demanding a large dowry, which he agreed to. But later, heartbroken, she said she wanted to break up. He couldn't understand why someone could agree to marry him so quickly, only to break up just as soon as possible. Was he really going to lose her? Did she really love him?

    I'm looking for a new novel that just started airing, and while the title might be a bit off-putting, the content is absolutely amazing. The author's writing is mature, with original poetry deeply integrated into the plot—it's not just artificial sweetness. The female protagonist transmigrates into the body of a cannon fodder concubine in her own creation, only to find the entire plot has collapsed. The story requires critical thinking; the political intrigue is intricately linked, and the process of female awakening is realistic and heart-wrenching. Although it's described as a web novel, its core is more like serious literature, with a powerful aftertaste. It's not just about being tragic for the sake of being tragic; it's about the strength that grows from despair—both depressing and healing. Readers who enjoy deep historical romance should definitely check it out.
