    A redemption story! The female lead dotes on the male lead! Both the male and female leads are strong, but not in a forced, overtly powerful way; they're naturally very capable. I absolutely love their interactions! The male lead is so handsome, I'm swooning! The female lead is absolutely gorgeous! The male lead is quite possessive, but he's very easy to please. Although the world has given him so much darkness, he won't hurt innocent people. He'll strive to become a better person for the female lead. The female lead is very proactive; if he gets jealous or loses control of his emotions, she'll comfort him. The male lead is so easy to please! He also dotes on the female lead. It's really a great story! Highly recommended!!

    This is a really compelling novel, especially after they get back together. Oh, it's in chapter 46, but if you really can't find it, we can check out the epilogue first; you'll fall in love with him. Mutual redemption. The male lead really protects the female lead very well. She likes him, and she talks a lot of nonsense, often blurting out suggestive remarks. Highly recommended!

    ① Rebirth + Campus + Mutual Redemption: No misunderstandings, both male and female leads are intelligent and eloquent. The rebellious boy is deeply in love with his girl. The male lead is very attentive to detail, and the plot doesn't drag. First meeting: "New classmate, what's your name?" "Sheng, Shengge." "Shengge as in 'nightly revelry'?" "Coincidentally, your name is Ye, the 'Ye' as in 'nightly revelry'." 😆😆😆 Who understands the significance of this line—"Don't cry, I was wrong!" Ahhh 🥰🥰🥰 ② Rebirth + Both leads are virgins + Campus + Mutual Unrequited Love and Redemption 💕 Initially a tsundere wolf, later a jealous and adorable puppy, sweet and angsty, empathetic and tear-jerking 🥺🥺

    1. *Fu, I Know You Have a Crush on Me* A cheerful girl x a hearing-impaired boy. In his past life, the male lead was disabled, with a prosthetic leg (he did this to save the female lead; details not revealed). In the present, the male lead becomes deaf and is ostracized. The cheerful female lead is reborn and redeems him. His unrequited love becomes real, and the female lead loves him in her own way. The romance is fast-paced, with no angst; they only have eyes for each other. The male lead also gains a group of good friends and is no longer the one being ignored. (The side stories have some angst for other characters; the past life is very tragic and heartbreaking.) 2. *Please, After Rebirth, the Little Madman Holds Me Till He Leaves* A madman driven mad by love x a kind male lead who heals him. The male lead has a mental illness and can only accept his cat/little cat (the male lead's name for the female lead) in his world. The male lead truly treats the female lead like a kitten, preferring to get hurt himself rather than let her be harmed in the slightest. The first half of the novel revolves around the childhood of the male and female protagonists (but the female protagonist has been reborn, with a small body and a large soul). There's a slightly angsty section later on, which is fine for a bit of fun, but the protagonists don't give up on each other, and it ends with a sweet happy ending. 3. *The Delicate Disease*: A seemingly gentle but strong-willed and sweet girl x a gloomy and obsessive wolf-dog boy, Rose and the vicious dog. Rose is bright and sunny, and the vicious dog, influenced by Rose, lives a passionate and happy life; Rose is the vicious dog's hope and anchor. The male protagonist is charmingly roguish and initially treats his wife poorly (because he has lived in darkness for a long time, his first reaction to sunlight is fear and inferiority), but the female protagonist is incredibly good to him, and the two work together to overcome life's challenges. (A small tearjerker follows.)
