   The female lead is very charming, though not conventionally beautiful. She lives life at her own pace, unhurried and determined. The system serves her, not for rewards; she completes tasks to change her life. Her "fish" (boyfriends) genuinely jump into the pond on their own, and they all know each other. She's truly the only female lead I've seen on Tomato (a Chinese writing platform) whose charm isn't solely based on appearance. The author's intention is excellent; life, mindset, emotions, and social prejudices are all explored. The writing is very good, and although she's portrayed as universally attractive, you can genuinely feel her personal charisma and be drawn to her.

    An ordinary, ambitious girl gets into university. If the person she loved most in her youth, a regret from her past life, were reborn, would she continue to love him and make up for the regret? In her previous life, she mustered the courage to confess her love but was rejected. She suffered unrequited love, leaving her heartbroken and in agony. How could someone love someone only to have unrequited feelings? Now, the regret from her past life suddenly appears in a second life, and she chooses to be brave again. But when she returns to school, reliving their encounter and every moment together, she is still rejected. She wants to cry. Why is her love, reborn, still trampled upon? It seems no one supports her being with him. Early relationships are forbidden, and a poor girl like her is not allowed to be with a rich man like him. The vast class difference is something she is unaware of. Love faced so many obstacles, but her only stroke of luck was seeing her mother again, the one who gave her life, raised her, and loved her most. Even in poverty, her mother was willing to give her the best food. Life has many regrets, but love isn't just one kind. He demanded money from her, and her mother was called in to ask for leave. Her mother, already working hard, had to come and deal with her troubles, which made her feel very guilty. Later, she stopped talking to him. She went to university and worked hard at part-time jobs to support herself. That familiar voice, that familiar person, carried her away. She was somewhat at a loss. Hadn't he rejected her confession? Her bittersweet love, her unrequited crush, had actually made progress. Those days made her very happy. Except for class time, she spent all her time with him, like a happy married couple. This was the love she had dreamed of for two lifetimes. But she was also uneasy, afraid that his love was just a momentary lapse of judgment. He was so rich, she was so poor, what was there for her not to understand? She knew all too well about class differences. She was infatuated with love, yet tried to soberly detach herself. She proposed marriage to him, demanding a large dowry, which he agreed to. But later, heartbroken, she said she wanted to break up. He couldn't understand why someone could agree to marry him so quickly, only to break up just as soon as possible. Was he really going to lose her? Did she really love him?

The plot unfolds step by step, and the relationship between the male and female leads gradually develops. I quite liked the second male lead; after learning of their marriage, he rushed to see the female lead. After exchanging only a few words, he mounted his horse, turned it around, and rode a few steps before stopping without looking back. "Mother, don't lose the painting. When I get old, I won't be able to paint anymore." "It won't be lost," the female lead replied. Then he rode away. The sound of hooves faded into the distance, disappearing at the end of the long street. The female lead stood at the doorway, holding the painting, staring at the empty alleyway for a long time.
