    A high-scoring masterpiece. You won't lose money if you don't read it. The first part: As an old saying goes, the female protagonist was reborn and committed suicide in her previous life (if you want to know the reason, read it in the article). She loved the male protagonist in both lives, and the male protagonist also loved the female protagonist. The ending is the second part: The male protagonist comes from a rich family, but he became a criminal policeman. The female protagonist fell in love with him when he was in school and chased him for a while before catching up. The male protagonist also loves the female protagonist very much, he is flirtatious, handsome and upright. You can give everything for the heroine. Part 3: The heroine was controlled by a yandere man in her previous life (whose looks and status are about the same as the hero, and her sworn enemy). She commits suicide and is reborn, gets rid of the sick man Shen Mo Zhou, and falls in love with the hero for the rest of her life.
