   This [crying emoji] story features three male leads, and the female lead will never love her first husband again. She first marries male lead 1, but is then forcibly taken by male lead 2 and made empress. During this time, male lead 1 suspects her of having an affair with his brother. After she enters the palace, he quickly remarries and has children, causing her to gradually fall in love with male lead 2. However, male lead 1, seeing her happy, is resentful and successfully rebels, resulting in male lead 2's death. The story begins with male lead 1 ascending the throne and making the female lead empress. The female lead is reborn; in her previous life, she went mad, killed male lead 1 on the imperial bed, and was then sentenced to death. In this life, wanting to live well, she accepts male lead 1, but it's just a compromise; there's no love left. Because of past experiences and male lead 1's abandonment of her, she can no longer love the male lead 1 who is no longer the same. Later, male lead 1 discovers that the female lead still loves male lead 2, goes mad, and refuses to accept her. The female lead becomes depressed and, in the latest chapter, fakes her death and leaves the palace. Although it's only reached 140,000 words, the story of the female lead and male lead 1 has come to a close. A favorite passage: "You don't understand. Outside the palace, when you're heartbroken and depressed, you can go for a spring outing; when you're resentful, you can ride horses in the countryside; you can even try to forget me. You can also marry and take concubines. In these four years, you've only lost me, but you've never felt as lonely as I have. You have so many beauties, so many children. The world pities you for losing your wife, understands your search for love elsewhere, but they only condemn me. I lost my offspring, and they all say it's my retribution. I'm trapped in this city every day, unable to see the future. For so long, I've lost everything..." Warning: The beginning might feel a bit rough, but it gets better as you read on. Some parts are quite heartbreaking, and the author portrays the psychology very well. The female lead is truly pitiful, but her future is bright; she will definitely be happy, and that scoundrel will be kicked to the curb. But actually, the most romantic pairing is male lead 2 and the female lead—a king taking a subject's wife, but only in memories [crying].

    I still really love this novel. Even though some people criticize me, saying it's a shame if you haven't read it, I want to recommend it to everyone I meet! It's absolutely amazing! The female lead abandons the scumbag male lead, faces a "wife-chasing-after-the-crisis" scenario, and chooses the devoted second male lead, who successfully wins her over. Having read so many novels, this is the first time I've seen a male lead (formerly the second male lead) who is so gentle to the female lead. Not a single chapter is wasted; it's all high-quality writing, and definitely worth following. I'm absolutely captivated. If the first chapter was out of curiosity, then the second chapter was when I started to fall in love, and the third chapter was when I was completely hooked. To survive, Qiao Yin was Lu Jingzhi's (the original male lead) devoted lover for three years and eleven months, confessing her feelings countless times, but he remained unmoved. Finally, with only one month left, the system told her she had chosen the wrong target…

    The first book features a second male lead who rises to power, with the male and female leads showcasing their acting skills and each possessing an average of 10,086 cunning schemes. The second book features a female lead disguised as a man, who is constantly harmed by the original male lead. The two engage in a love-hate relationship; the female lead displays the behavior and mannerisms of a scumbag, while the original male lead is charmingly roguish, flirtatious, and full of witty remarks, all while pursuing her career. Initially, the original male and female leads, with their inherent advantages, constantly try to take advantage of the original female lead, but are later repeatedly tormented by her. The later parts are incredibly satisfying.
