    [Recommendation | Tomato Novel "Her Waist" - Top-tier angst romance, obsessive and insane male lead vs. Beautiful, strong, and tragic female lead, a prisoner's dilemma of love to the bone!] 🌟 "I don't even want the child anymore, Fei Jin, please let me go." — Chang Yu escapes with shattered pride, completely tearing apart the world of the insane CEO Fei Jin. 🔥 Forced acquisition × Wife-chasing hell × Extreme tug-of-war He is a business tyrant, obsessive to the bone, relentlessly pursuing her; she is a cold and proud rose, willing to abandon even her own flesh and blood to break free of her shackles. From campus rivals to prisoners of marriage, Fei Jin wove a cage of love, while Chang Yu forged a blade of hatred— 🔪 She scratched his throat, smashed an ashtray against his forehead, yet he gently comforted her in his arms during her breakdown; 💔 He mobilized the entire city's police force to rescue her from a kidnapping, personally fed her medicine, and guarded her all night, only to receive her words, "I don't love you"; 👶🏻 The heartbreaking truth that "the child was abandoned at birth" woke Fei Jin, who had been depressed for two months, from her despair. When she touched her son's little hand for the first time, and their amber eyes met, the ruthless CEO's eyes reddened... 🌪️ "After Chang Yu disappeared, Fei Jin became a walking corpse." On a winter night in London, she stood side by side with psychologist Rhys, wearing a thin long dress, but the trembling of pressing the delete key on an email exposed the unhealed scars in her heart; He guarded the empty villa, repeatedly stroking the code of their wedding date "0910," and in a bar, he carried her, drunk, in his arms, saying, "I'll never leave you in this life..." 📖High-energy scene warning▫️Chang Yu, suffering from postpartum depression, coldly watched her son through the incubator: "Motherly love, to me, is a curse so foreign I want to escape." ▫️At the kidnapping scene, she gripped a fruit knife and cut the ropes, confronting the fugitive: "If I die, you won't live either." ▫️Fei Jin knelt down and wiped away her tears: "The thing I regret least is loving you to the bone." 💔"We tormented each other, yet willingly succumbed." There were no winners in this game of love and hate—when he learned to cook terrible soup, when she began to reminisce about the youthful days spent eating shumai; when the London moonlight illuminated her emptiness, when the torrential rain in Licheng soaked through his madness... It turns out that the most painful thing is not hating to the extreme, but loving to the point of not daring to admit it.
