    The process is agonizing. The seemingly innocent girl, with a hidden agenda, kisses someone else right in front of him, making him jealous without any real connection. She's dumped by her childhood sweetheart, goes abroad to study, and returns for revenge. The innocent girl transforms into a wicked woman, a womanizer, a womanizer who smokes and drinks. Every substitute she finds resembles him. In a dream, he asks her if she loves him, but she wakes up to find him lying next to her. Hitting him becomes a reward. Her best friend asks if she remembers him. She says she doesn't, but her best friend says she hasn't revealed who that person was. Yes, when you love someone, even the shadows of their substitutes surround you. Even during her time studying abroad, she still thinks of him. How can one forget the one they love most? How long does it take for a devoted person to turn into a heartless woman? Just the moment he dumps her, she changes. Her transformation into a heartbreaker is only superficial; he still takes her virginity. She says she wants to kiss a male model. So he can be jealous too. Where was he before? Did he love her? She doesn't know. If he loved her, why did he dump her so cruelly back then? The seven-year itch is something no one can escape, right? His childhood sweetheart became a CEO, and he begged her to have their child to tie her down. Could a person be so cruel? He didn't want to use a child to bind her; he tried to keep her by his side forever, unaware that she had changed. She had nightmares about him abandoning her, yet he held her and said he wouldn't leave. Upon waking, her instinctive reaction was to slap him. Was it that being too greedy meant she could never have the one she loved most? Little did she know, she called him crazy, but he said he wouldn't be crazy if it weren't for her. He grabbed her neck, asking if she had been with someone else abroad. She felt his jealousy, which gave her a sense of triumph. He smashed the phone her mother had bought as a keepsake. Having missed her mother's funeral, she began to hate him. She replaced his male assistant and secretary with his stand-ins, provoked him by having unofficial relationships with them, and even kissed them in front of him. He was furious and extremely jealous. Their relationship was never officially announced, yet she was consumed by jealousy over their lack of recognition. Watching him be jealous, she felt a strange sense of vengeful pleasure, but she used foreign etiquette to provoke him. He had nowhere to vent his anger. He said he wanted to kiss like that abroad too, but she said enemies don't need to kiss. He was enraged... His face turned green as he forbade office romances, implying that only he and she were permitted to have one—a double standard. She skipped work to meet her younger self at a party hosted by the school's most popular male model, but secretly hoped he'd catch her. She kept wondering why he hadn't arrived yet. Finally, he came, but as she tried to open the door, she regretted that he had prevented her from seeing her mother one last time. Some hatred, in the face of love, only brings pain and distortion. Torn between two people she loved most—her beloved mother and the man she loved most—she agonized over the regret of not seeing her mother one last time; the dead cannot be brought back to life. He was alive, so she had no regrets. But her mother couldn't live, and she couldn't forgive him. Even when the male assistant wanted him dead, she hesitated and agreed. He said she was heartless, unaware that he was even more heartless when he dumped her. She was merely repeating the actions she had taken when dumping him. The male assistant also smashed the wine glass her mother had left behind, yet she didn't see him as an enemy, only heartache and hatred. This made her resolve to join forces with the male assistant to kill him, but love made her hesitate about telling him the truth about his impending death. She bitterly thought, wasn't this the best opportunity for revenge? Yet, she felt he didn't deserve to die. People are always caught in a dilemma when making choices; the contradiction seemed to make either choice unhappy. But she didn't understand what the male assistant meant by what he said. Wasn't he clearly dumped her because he didn't love her? Why were his words so light and so heavy?

It shouldn't be like this. [Crying][crying][crying] "How absurd was his lifelong love, leaving him to wander alone." Especially that line, I cried nonstop when I read it, and now the more I think about it, the more heartbroken I feel. Even his friends noticed something was wrong, but the husband wouldn't even make a phone call, believing he was on a business trip. Later, he even said that he was just a satisfactory bed partner... Although his ending wasn't good either, it just doesn't feel right, not enough... Anping suffered so much: his leg was broken, he slept in a wet bed, he had an incurable fever, all those close to him were killed, he suffered from personality splits, rape, and death, while the husband lived a carefree life, only living in a dilapidated house after the drug rehabilitation center incident was exposed, going bankrupt, being removed from his breathing tube when sick, and dying. I just feel it's not enough, it shouldn't be like this. Finally, I wish Anping peace and happiness forever, and that she never sees Mr. Again. I read the second book; I thought the writing was excellent, but unfortunately, so few people have read it. I hope the author returns soon; writing in her spare time is fine, just please don't stop writing!

    Eight couples, a tale of love and hate, sweet and romantic, you can ship them all, whatever you want. This book tells the story of a group of people—a group who emerged from the rainy nights of Temple Street. Zhong Aixiao squatted behind the counter of the "Xiang Ji" goldfish stall, raising Xin Xia for Xin Tongda. She waited for six years, wrote six letters, the last one containing only five words: "I'm not waiting anymore." Brother Fu sat on a plastic chair by the door, drinking beer for six years, waiting for her to turn around and see him. The day Xin Tongda signed the "protection agreement" determined everyone's fate. He went to the Philippines, accepting a drink from Jiang Meiling in a bar. He didn't know that drink would later become the son of a man named Jiang Che. From the age of three, Xin Xia carried a girl across all the puddles of Temple Street. He kept her photos in a folder called "Weather," facing them alone in a dark room late at night. He loved her, but he dared not let her know the weight of his love. Ren Ruyi had a system living in her mind. She did tasks, she wavered between two people, she thought she was just a player. Until the system crashed, she went to London, playing the piano for strangers in the snow, and met a boy named Xinyue, where she learned for the first time "protection" instead of "being loved." Jiang Che walked out of the tea restaurant kitchen and all the way to the boardroom of the Xin Group. He married Jiang Shuiqing—the woman who knew he had someone else in his heart but still chose him. She died in the delivery room, her last words being, "Where is my daughter?" When Tang Zhenyi was ten, she took a knife for a five-year-old boy. That scar remained on her left palm for twenty years. Later, she had plastic surgery, changed her face, entered the Xin family circle, and at the arrival gate of Charles de Gaulle Airport, was stopped by the now-grown boy by his full name. Song searched for her for twenty years. Everyone was caught in the karma of the previous generation. Everyone was trying to forge their own path. "When I'm sad, I try to be more understanding." But understanding is never a kind of magnanimity. It's a person's name. It's an exile that will never reach its shore. "I'm drawn to girls who laugh, but that girl isn't you." The person who said this sat in the front row of the wedding, a half-full glass of iced tea in hand, watching the entire event unfold. There isn't a single purely evil character in this book. Nor does anyone live up to their initial aspirations. But they are all still on their journey. Under the neon lights of Temple Street, amidst the sea of ​​lights in Victoria Harbour, on every snowy night and in every endless rain. "After all the twists and turns, I still found you."

    The first book features a couple, Immortal Li Yue and Ying Mei. The second book has a demon god whose cooking skills are so good that he becomes a yandere (obsessive and possessive). The third book is about a soldier disguised as a demon (I can't remember exactly). The fourth book has a blind protagonist who discovers he is actually a star god (I can't remember exactly either). The fifth book has a protagonist who dies but is resurrected by the Emperor, and after making a contract... (I haven't read this one in a long time, so I can't remember). The sixth book has a demon god who gives Kong a trial, where the protagonist's incarnation becomes a girl, adventures with Kong, and then dies (I'm sure). The seventh book is about reincarnating nine times to help various people (I basically felt nothing after reading this one).
