    She no longer wanted to love him. The seemingly innocent girl, now a cunning wolf, kissed someone else right in front of him, making him jealous without any real connection. Dumped by her childhood sweetheart, she returned from studying abroad to seek revenge. The innocent girl transformed into a wicked woman, a womanizer, a womanizer, a smoker, a drinker—she did it all. Every substitute she found resembled him. In a dream, he asked her if she loved him, but she woke up to find him lying next to her. Hitting him became a reward. Her best friend asked if she remembered him. She said she didn't, but her best friend said she hadn't revealed who that person was. Yes, when you love someone, even the shadows of their substitutes surround you. Even during her time studying abroad, she still thought of him. How could anyone forget the one they love most? How long does it take for a devoted person to turn into a heartless woman? Just the moment he dumped her, she changed. Her transformation into a heartbreaker was only superficial; he still took her virginity. She said she wanted to kiss a male model. So he could be jealous too. Where was he before? Did he love her? She didn't know. If he loved her, why did he dump her so cruelly back then? The seven-year itch is something no one can escape, right? His childhood sweetheart became a CEO, and he begged her to have their child to tie her down. Could a person be so cruel? He didn't want to use a child to bind her; he tried to keep her by his side forever, unaware that she had changed. She had nightmares about him abandoning her, yet he held her and said he wouldn't leave. Upon waking, her instinctive reaction was to slap him. Was it that being too greedy meant she could never have the one she loved most? Little did she know, she called him crazy, but he said he wouldn't be crazy if it weren't for her. He grabbed her neck, asking if she had been with someone else abroad. She felt his jealousy, which gave her a sense of triumph. He smashed the phone her mother had bought as a keepsake. Having missed her mother's funeral, she began to hate him. She replaced his male assistant and secretary with his stand-ins, provoked him by having unofficial relationships with them, and even kissed them in front of him. He was furious and extremely jealous. Their relationship was never officially announced, yet she was consumed by jealousy over their lack of recognition. Watching him be jealous, she felt a strange sense of vengeful pleasure, but she used foreign etiquette to provoke him. He had nowhere to vent his anger. He said he wanted to kiss like that abroad too, but she said enemies don't need to kiss. He was enraged... His face turned green as he forbade office romances, implying that only he and she were permitted to have one—a double standard. She skipped work to meet her younger self at a party hosted by the school's most popular male model, but secretly hoped he'd catch her. She kept wondering why he hadn't arrived yet. Finally, he came, but as she tried to open the door, she regretted that he had prevented her from seeing her mother one last time. Some hatred, in the face of love, only brings pain and distortion. Torn between two people she loved most—her beloved mother and the man she loved most—she agonized over the regret of not seeing her mother one last time; the dead cannot be brought back to life. He was alive, so she had no regrets. But her mother couldn't live, and she couldn't forgive him. Even when the male assistant wanted him dead, she hesitated and agreed. He said she was heartless, unaware that he was even more heartless when he dumped her. She was merely repeating the actions she had taken when dumping him. The male assistant also smashed the wine glass her mother had left behind, yet she didn't see him as an enemy, only heartache and hatred. This made her resolve to join forces with the male assistant to kill him, but love made her hesitate about telling him the truth about his impending death. She bitterly thought, wasn't this the best opportunity for revenge? Yet, she felt he didn't deserve to die. People are always caught in a dilemma when making choices; the contradiction seemed to make either choice unhappy. But she didn't understand what the male assistant meant by what he said. Wasn't he clearly dumped her because he didn't love her? Why were his words so light and so heavy?

    She didn't love him, but he fell in love with her again. In the beginning, she pursued him twice, confessing her love but was rejected and left in despair. It's really strange that the male lead secretly loved and rejected her. They reunited, their broken relationship was mended, and he pursued her again, going through a "wife-chasing-after-the-cremation" ordeal.

    She didn't love him, only her beloved young master, even framing him for her child not being his. In his past life, he was killed by the young master's dog for peeping at his beloved bathing. Reborn, he plotted revenge, forcibly taking the young master's beloved. But the young master's beloved didn't love him, only the young master. His heart ached. The beloved he had taken already belonged to someone else, not him. He thought that as long as he treated her well, she would eventually fall in love with him, but he was wrong. Though the person he had taken was by his side, her heart belonged to the young master. She cried. She begged him to give the young master a complete corpse. Before he died, the young master said he treated him like a brother, but he thought he was a complete idiot. She fainted, and he was worried, so he found a private doctor to take care of her and cared for her for a long time. He watched her get sick because of the young master, and his heart was broken. She even made a pact with him that he was not allowed to touch her until she fell in love with him, and he agreed like a lapdog. But he didn't know that the young master had also been reborn. The young master was reborn, and she loved him even more, but in order to survive, she pretended to love him. How could he not know that she didn't love him? He simply craved her love, even if it was a false one, she was willing to put on an act for him. He didn't want things to drag on and wanted to register their marriage, but she tried to delay. Threatened by him, she had no choice but to compromise. But suddenly, the young master appeared, blocking their marriage registration. She held the young master's hand as if it were truly them who wanted to register. He truly hated that the young master had been reborn, hindering their happiness. Even a forced marriage was still happiness. He wanted to kill the young master, but she compromised again and registered their marriage. The young master tearfully asked her if they had really registered. He tore up their marriage certificate, but she told him to forget her. He had a title, yet he was still jealous. In his previous life, when he couldn't have her, he was jealous of the lack of a title. Loving someone too much, even knowing they don't love you back, is like forcing a relationship—it's never sweet, never satisfying. She drugged him, and in his delirium, he heard her and the young master's intimacy, thinking it was a dream. When he woke up, she said she was intimate with him. Three months later, she became pregnant. She was always restless, constantly thinking about things, and even when he hugged her, she would instinctively slap him. It wasn't until the child was born that he found out who the father was. She asked him if he would kill her, but he only wanted to kill the young master, not her. He pressed her, asking if she had ever truly loved him. Her lack of love became a permanent pain in his heart. He let her go, but the young master wanted to kill him. She suddenly jumped out and took the knife for him. He didn't understand what she meant by this. The young master said she had changed her mind, that the meaning of his rebirth was gone. But he, like a bitter melon, was tired and felt there was no need to love her anymore. Her change of heart came too late, happiness came too late, and he had already let go long ago. With bitterness, she repeatedly asked him if he still loved her. Did he still love her? Will his and her love continue to be entangled and complicated, or will it just end like this?

    It's really good and novel. This is the first time I've seen a woman who, as the original male lead's fiancée, didn't wait for him to return home with another woman after he disappeared or was absent, but instead chose to marry someone else and have children.

    The female lead doesn't love the male lead. You can tell from the synopsis of the first book that the male lead comes looking for her, acting one way in public and another in private, almost breaking up the female lead and her husband's family with his schemes. I think the second book only has a happy ending because of the child.

    Later, she truly stopped loving him. Unrequited love brings tears, falling incessantly. Her youthful, bittersweet crush, filled with the bitterness of her adolescence, was all because she poured her overflowing love into him, a cold and indifferent man. Everyone said he and her "white moonlight" were a perfect match, and indeed they were. Others said she was too ugly for him, but what was wrong with liking someone? She adored him, watching him play basketball, and every Americano she sent him—all her love was met with a cold shoulder, as if nothing had happened.
