   I absolutely love stories like this where the female lead suffers first, then the male lead suffers, and then there's a "wife-chasing-after-the-cremation" trope. The bittersweet feeling is so satisfying! These are some of my favorite stories. They don't portray the female lead as a pampered little wife, always with delicate features like small faces and hands, and there's no male-dominated atmosphere. They're really good! Definitely worth reading!

    It's both heartbreaking and painful to watch her suffer. A campus romance filled with unrequited love—how humble can one be when loving someone? So humble that she sits below him, heartbroken, watching his promised wedding next year with the school beauty as her bride, feeling nameless and unappreciated. She's loved him, suffering through countless summers she doesn't want to count. She's loved him since birth, her childhood sweetheart. From a young age, she's never dared to confess, afraid of losing a friend. To love someone is to be able to stay by their side as a friend. To be in the same school as him, she studies tirelessly, even if it means getting the lowest score, just to be near him and catch a glimpse of him from afar. When he mocks her for being last, she doesn't get angry but congratulates and envies him for being first. Until her wealthy roommate, the school beauty, appears as a rival, and she begins... Her life seemed precarious; it appeared he no longer belonged to her. The school beauty asked her to deliver a love letter, which he mistook for a confession. The trampled letter shattered her unrequited love, leaving her heartbroken. She feigned amnesia, wanting to be brave once more, and experienced unprecedented happiness. His true feelings were revealed until he discovered she had deceived him, faking amnesia. She was abandoned. His promise to marry her next year turned into a reality on this day next year when she received his engagement invitation. Her heart was in turmoil; she stubbornly refused to attend, yet still went, consumed by unspoken jealousy. Then, in even greater despair, she attended his wedding with the school beauty. She was supposed to be the one wearing the wedding dress, but why, while she was in agony, did he propose to her at the wedding with the school beauty's ring?

    Super good! The first book was serialized, and the last three were completed. The last three all have happy endings. I highly recommend books 3 and 4. The logic is coherent. The third book features dual rebirths and is more of a fast-paced, satisfying story. Because the male lead harbors resentment towards the female lead for killing him in his past life, he is initially quite ruthless towards her. Later, the misunderstanding is resolved, and they fight the villain together. In the fourth book, the female lead is someone the male lead picked up and made into his bodyguard. He is very strict with her in the beginning, even torturing her with drugs. During their struggles, he develops feelings for her, but they separate due to some misunderstandings. The female lead becomes pregnant unexpectedly, but knowing her true identity, she tries to secretly abort the child. The male lead discovers this, and after being confronted by her words, he stubbornly forces her to take the abortion pill, only to find that he has already replaced it with the antidote for the Crimson Loyalty Gu.
