   It was so heart-wrenching, it left me with a dull ache. The plot is intricate, and the writing is delicate. The early chapters are filled with ambiguity, teasing, blushing, and a little bit of angst. The real second female lead's appearance brings even more heartbreak, leaving me heartbroken [sad face]. The later chapters are even more agonizing, with the unique "double-love curse" involving a choice between two women, which brought me to tears [crying face]. The female lead isn't naive; she's sweet by day. Also, what's most special about this book is: (the second female lead you think she is isn't the real one, but someone else entirely). For those who enjoy novel and angst-filled stories, this is definitely worth reading: *The Book of Two Realms: The Emperor's Imprisoned Phoenix Finally Breaks Its Neck*

    This is a story of a yandere protagonist, a character facing a tragic end, rebirth, and a fake young master. The protagonist, heartbroken in his past life, is reborn and doesn't want to reunite with his family. Shi Chuyi is an orphan who dreams of family. In his previous life, after a long and arduous journey home, he finds a fake young master living there. This fake young master is gentle and kind, perfect in every way, and everyone likes him. But he's just pretending; he only reveals his true, vicious nature to Shi Chuyi. He frames and slanders him, winning over those around him. His four older brothers despise him, his childhood sweetheart abandons him, his friends begin to dislike him, and his fans curse him to die… He has nothing. Finally, he falls ill with late-stage stomach cancer. Afraid of the pain and chemotherapy, he attempts suicide by cutting his wrists in ice water… but fate intervenes, allowing him to be reborn just before his search for his family begins. The host asked him, "If you make this call, you can have a family again. Have you thought it through? Three, two, one." "I've thought it through. I give up." He turned and walked away. Meanwhile, the popular celebrities who had been watching TV and waiting for the call panicked. One of them called and stopped him, groveling and begging, "Don't give up on me. Please give Third Brother another chance, okay?" Later, one by one, they were reborn, like an inescapable plaster, bowing their heads in apology and groveling. The eldest brother gave him the company: "From now on, you're in charge of the Chu family. No one can disobey you." The second brother tied up the fake young master and gave him to him: "However you want him to die, I'll help you." The fourth brother handed him a knife: "If you're not satisfied, just stab me to death." His childhood friend chased after him, begging, "Please, don't go." His friends were filled with regret, asking him how he could forgive them. Shi Chuyi chuckled lightly: "Get lost."
