Due to a past relationship, the female lead later married another man, leaving the male lead with a lingering resentment. When they meet again, the female lead has fallen on hard times, gone bankrupt, and divorced.

   The angst is layered and intensifies! It gets more and more angsty as it progresses! The male lead is selfish and cunning, seeking revenge on the female lead, but later he realizes his mistakes and experiences a heart-wrenching chase after her. (There's a slight angst after he kills the female lead in chapter 56; you might think she's being soft-hearted here, but it's consistent with her state of mind. She gradually becomes more ruthless later on. After chapter 102, as the male lead gets closer to the truth, the angst gradually increases, with a major twist in chapter 116 and another in chapter 122.) The second male lead is handsome, strong, and tragically fated, waiting for a thousand years. Faced with the choice between the world and one man, he chooses the world—a tearjerker, leaving viewers heartbroken.
