Ha, dream on [eating melon]. ③ The female lead fell in love with the target of her strategy. After completing the mission, she chose to stay in the strategy world. She thought they would grow old together and be of one heart forever. But three years after their marriage, he brought back a pregnant woman and wanted to take her as a concubine. The female lead decisively divorced him. 🌯 ④ At the wedding, the male lead carried his widowed sister-in-law away, leaving the female lead alone on the stage. Just imagine that scene, sigh!

    Except for the first book, which is a tragic ending (BE), all the others are happy endings (HE). The first book is very short and quite angsty; if you want to read a short, angsty novel, you should check out the first one. The second book is written by Roubao Bu Chi Rou (肉包不吃肉), and Roubao's writing style remains consistently strong—it's all heart-wrenching. The third book is also written by Roubao, so I won't say much about it; it's an incredibly sweet novel, and you'll need to take insulin for three days after reading it. The fourth book is mainly about redemption; sometimes you'll be laughing and crying at the same time.
