    Unrequited love is agonizing. If the person she loved most in her youth, a regret from her past life, were reborn, would she continue to love and make up for the regret? In her previous life, she mustered the courage to confess her love, only to be rejected. She suffered unrequited love, her heart aching with bitterness. How could one love someone only to be left with unrequited love? Suddenly, the regret of her past life came to her in a second life, and she chose to be brave again. But when she returned to school, reliving their encounters and every moment together, she was still rejected. She wanted to cry. Why was her love, reborn, still trampled upon? It seemed no one supported her being with him. Early relationships were forbidden, and a poor girl like her was not allowed to be with a rich man like him. The vast class difference was something she was unaware of. Love faced so many obstacles, but 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 has many 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 very 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 somewhat at a loss. Hadn't he rejected her confession? Her bittersweet love, her unrequited crush, had actually made progress. Those days made her very happy. Except for class time, 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 uneasy, afraid that 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 have over 4000 hours of reading time! [1] Super good. Highly recommend this book! It portrays the bittersweetness of unrequited love very well, making you feel sorry for the female lead. I even had AI analyze the plot. The author's writing skills and techniques are excellent. Most importantly, the author spoils the readers, updating a lot every day. The male lead is aloof and distant, while the female lead slowly grows and becomes better. [2] It's already finished. The female lead is a photographer, and the relationship between the male and female leads is very sweet after their long separation. The female lead's unrequited love is also very lonely in the early stages. The male lead is both warm and rational, while the female lead is both gentle and confident. [3] This is a story about the female lead's rebirth, self-growth, and unrequited love coming true. The ending is either happy or sad. It compares rebirth to a dream, a very unique perspective. The male lead is aloof, while the female lead is cute, lively, and a bit funny. [4] This is one of my favorite unrequited love novels. Both the male and female leads have very good lives. Two wonderful people, a sweet love story. The male lead is a cool guy (likes to tease the female lead), clingy, arrogant, and adorable—just a cute little beauty.
