    My absolute favorite book. Chapter 25 onwards is incredibly intense: a forced marriage, a wife-chasing drama, the powerful bowing down, and the male lead turning evil. Early on, the male lead has a "white moonlight" (ideal love interest) and repeatedly abandons the female lead for her. The female lead's first relationship was with the male lead's subordinate (the second male lead), also abandoned because of the same "white moonlight." The male lead and the second male lead are scumbags who abuse the female lead in the early stages. Later, the male lead and the second male lead experience a wife-chasing drama, the powerful bowing down, and the male lead going mad.

The female lead's fiancé also transmigrates, but he's genuinely a good person.

    I think this book is quite good; the story is sweet with a touch of heartbreak. The male protagonist mistakenly believes the child isn't his, initially wanting to abandon the child, but later wanting to care for the female protagonist until she gives birth, even willing to raise the child that might not be his. However, due to a misunderstanding about the female protagonist's best friend being a man (whom he is unaware of), he becomes jealous and accidentally causes her to go into premature labor (he is indeed punished for this; if you're bothered by this plot point, it might not be suitable for you to read). Ultimately, the child is born with silver hair like him, after which the male protagonist frantically apologizes. This book is worth reading.
