   Initially aloof and superior, he later became incredibly humble. Two people clearly in love were separated by a superficial family feud, forced to harbor deep-seated hatred without realizing it. She repeatedly asked him if he truly loved her. Perhaps she would have been willing to disregard societal norms and let go of her hatred. They became fuel for the family feud; the more sensible they became, the less sympathy they received. They were forced into a business marriage, and when asked to divorce, they were obliged immediately. A sea of ​​hatred and love, a bloodbath and deep-seated hatred, they were forced into a business marriage amidst family feuds and entanglements, a marriage of convenience that blossomed into love. They had a child, but no feelings remained. She was imprisoned by him and couldn't go anywhere. He thought she was dreaming when she spoke in the middle of the night. She pretended to measure his neck with a rope, but when he found out, she could only say that she was measuring a necklace and asked him if he believed her. He then went crazy and tied her hands with a rope to make her realize that he and she were enemies. She and the child cried with tears in their eyes, and his heart ached for them, but he didn't show any pity. She packed her bags to escape, but he found out. He didn't know that she felt so bad about leaving. He clearly didn't like her, so why was he like this? His father pressured him to divorce his wife, but he refused. Her mother urged her to divorce him, and she seemed to have fallen in love with him. However, the deep-seated hatred stemming from their family feud persisted. Her relatives came to her rescue with weapons, but he was monitoring his enemies and family outside. She watched helplessly as her loved ones were injured. Unable to accept this reality, she attempted suicide by running into a wall while he wasn't looking, wanting to die with them. Without her family, she had lost all will to live. He was moved and asked the doctor to save her. The housekeeper, seeing his heartbreaking tears, wondered if he had fallen in love with her. He didn't know he had fallen in love but refused to admit it. However, she had amnesia and even forgave him for wanting to kill her. He began to understand his own heart and felt a sense of kinship with her. He treated her like a beloved person, making her happy. He never fed her before, but started feeding her even his son. He knew she was already in his heart. He realized what loving someone was like. He never knew that loving someone could make him give everything. But when she asked him if he loved her, he still stubbornly refused to admit it. He remembered his grandfather's words: "A man without love is carefree." She asked him again if he loved her, and he unconsciously and gently admitted it in his sleep. Until she regained her memory, their marriage was blocked by his father. He didn't understand why it was his parents who wanted him to marry her, and it was also his parents who wanted them to divorce. What exactly did he and she do wrong? Why ignore their love when they became victims of generations of feuds? He once thought their marriage was secure. His father offered him 50 million to leave her, but he resolutely refused. However, when he heard her demand 500 million for a breakup, his heart sank. It turned out she didn't love him; their love was nothing but a pipe dream. He thought their love could overcome everything, including generations of hatred, but she only cared about money. He was deeply hurt. For the first time, she returned to her parents' home openly. He chased after her for love, not even considering the danger to his life. He begged her to come home, but she refused. Her family thanked him, leaving her confused. Why were they thanking him when they were clearly enemies? Then his father arrived. Were the two feuding families about to fight again? Or were they setting aside their prejudices to prevent the next generation from facing all the family feuds? Could they still be lovers?

    Absolutely heart-wrenching! The male lead is the ultimate female lead fanatic; his entire existence revolves around her. Her happiness brings him peace, while her suffering drives him mad, and he's willing to give his life for her. After her rebirth, the female lead is incredibly powerful, ruthlessly solving problems. The story is full of period drama elements, with both sweet and heart-wrenching moments; many scenes are so moving they'll leave you breathless!

    This book fits perfectly. In her previous life, the female lead had a mission to seduce the male lead, requiring her to simultaneously reach 100% love and hate levels. The male lead always believed she killed him. Reborn, he still loves her but is manipulated by her. (The food is especially delicious.)
