   To protect himself, he pretended to love him. In his past life, he was killed by the young master's dog for peeping at his beloved while she bathed. Reborn, he plotted revenge against the young master, forcibly taking his beloved. But she didn't love him; she only loved the young master. His heart ached. The woman he had taken had someone else in her heart, 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 she was by his side, her heart belonged to the young master. She cried and begged him to give the young master a proper burial. Before the young master died, he said he treated him like a brother, but he thought he was a complete idiot. She fainted, and he was worried, so he called a private doctor to see her and took care of 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 couldn't 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 she pretended to love him in order to survive. 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?
