    I highly recommend this book, it's really good and very heart-wrenching. The male lead throws the female lead off an attic for his "white moonlight" (his first love), causing her to miscarry. He also frames her father and brothers for treason, resulting in the male lead being executed by slow slicing and the female lead being exiled. In the end, her exiled mother and sister-in-law also die because of the male lead. The female lead is left with only hatred in her eyes. Even after the male lead hurts her in various ways, she still kneels devoutly before Buddha, praying to grow old with him. In the end, the one he grows old with is indeed the female lead and the second male lead. The second male lead has loved the female lead since childhood, and she loves him too, but an accident causes her to lose her memory. A broken mirror cannot be mended, and the female lead doesn't go back to her ex. The ending is perfect; the female lead and the second male lead get married and have children.
