   It's seriously amazing! Don't let the low rating fool you. The male lead is a conflicted kid, and the female lead is an irresistible, warm-hearted lover. A jinxed star meets his spark. Liking is possessiveness, love is letting go. It's a bit heartbreaking; it brought tears to my eyes. Bu Li's greatest wish is for Sang Sang to live to be a hundred, a wish that's also a curse, because Sang Sang can't live that long after losing Bu Li. The ending is a happy one. The writing is excellent, and each character has a unique personality; they're all wonderful. The story isn't long, so it's worth reading. This is the book that won't make you cry! [Thumbs up]

   This is my absolute pinnacle of redemption, especially the first book, it's absolutely amazing. Besides these two, I'd also like to recommend two more that Tomato didn't have. Those interested can check them out. "Keanu Reeves' Reply" made me cry, but it has a happy ending. The protagonist had a crush on the other for many years, and they finally got together, which really made me cry buckets. "The Moon Came to Me" is also about a protagonist who has a crush on the other. The heartbreaking part is that he missed the other for seventeen years because his identity was switched. They should have been childhood sweethearts, and the protagonist should have been a pampered young master. Thankfully, it has a happy ending.

    I would call this book, written during the Qingming Festival in March, a masterpiece of redemption fiction. Every single one of these books is a redemption story; the male lead loves only the female lead from beginning to end. I won't go into details, but they're all incredibly good. I've read each one countless times. Ever since I started reading this author's books, I've been experiencing a reading slump.

    The first book is absolutely the pinnacle of redemption novels, with Shen Baoshan being the ultimate guiding lover. The second book is arguably my favorite quick transmigration novel I've read so far. Both male leads are incredibly gentle; the protagonist redeems the other in the main world, while the other redeems the protagonist in every smaller world—a truly wonderful mutual journey. Moreover, there are no melodramatic misunderstandings or forced imprisonment throughout the entire story; it's just two warm-hearted people falling in love. Healthy relationships really do make people feel better.

    It's super, super good, everyone should read it! The male lead is incredibly humble and pitiful in the beginning, and the female lead, after being reborn, gradually influences and redeems him. Plus, there's no third party involved! Misunderstandings are resolved immediately, and the romance isn't overly dramatic, although there might be a couple of chapters where the male lead suffers, like being beaten up, but these are all just to strengthen the relationship between the male and female leads!

Upon returning to her family home, she found herself estranged from her parents, who disliked her due to her aloof nature. The Crown Prince forbade her from vying with her cousin for the position of Crown Princess. At a palace banquet, when the Emperor asked her what reward she desired, she replied that she wanted to marry the feared and powerful Jiang Yan. Jiang Yan later overthrew the Great An and ascended to the throne, and everyone said Su Youyi was lucky. Only Jiang Yan knew that they had known each other since childhood, supporting one another; without Su Youyi, there would be no Jiang Yan in this world.

With a "bang," the boy heard the sound of fireworks exploding in his mind, one after another, making his heart pound wildly. Chu He, also wanting to tease him, instantly brightened her eyes, her smile dazzling and radiant. She deliberately circled the boy once, then leaned close to him, exclaiming exaggeratedly, "Oh my!" "Whose adorable ghost is this? So beautiful, so lovable! I really want to take her home and pamper her like a treasure!" The boy's eyes followed her every move, their light shimmering with her presence. The word "treasure" instantly made his face flush and his heart burn.
