    Check this out!!! It's a short story, only a little over 200,000 words. A vicious beauty versus a cold, aloof young master. The female lead is incredibly charming, and the male lead is deeply devoted to her through two lifetimes. Don't be scared off by the prologue; it gets really good later on. Both leads are virgins.

    ① BE (Bad Ending), pure ancient setting, the female lead's family falls into decline, she is framed, and she climbs to a high position (Empress) through her own means. The case from back then is reopened. Alas, no one was wrong back then, none of you were wrong, the only ones at fault were the Empress Dowager and the Zhang family. ② Fantasy, rebirth, no romance. This is the only book I've read so far where the female lead is reborn. There's no revenge, no wish fulfillment, no one else's repentance, it's very plain, yet it made me cry for a long time. Bai Yi, I hate the you who was abandoned by your parents, I hate the you who remembered for a lifetime just because a friend said they wanted to eat mung bean cakes from your hometown, I hate the you who was betrayed by your friends but had no complaints (there's a reason), I hate the you who was hated by everyone in the Heavenly Court but still sacrificed yourself for the common people in the end.
