She had a crush on him for ten years, and the night he kissed her in a fit of rage, she became pregnant with his son. Bitterly, she was kicked out of her home by her mother. With nowhere to go, she applied for a nanny job at his house to take care of the child, only to be called a bastard by him. His mother also treated her badly. The three of them argued fiercely about the child. Then his fiancée appeared, and she, a manipulative and scheming woman, secretly enjoyed messing with her fiancée. She felt an unprecedented thrill in her low-EQ antics, but he and his mother were on the same side, favoring his fiancée. She felt bitter and jealous of not having a proper title, while the person she loved most... Right now, she can't have a formal title. She was so angry that she beat them up, and they became much more obedient. She took her child to school and was pointed at and gossiped about. He didn't help her at all. His fiancée even deliberately called the principal to harass her. She was so unhappy that she would confront and hit anyone she saw. She even demanded that he officially announce her and the child's relationship. His fiancée was so angry that she felt like her face had turned green. She tormented his fiancée, making her call and cancel the engagement. His fiancée refused, and they were eventually forced to cancel the engagement. Why did he suddenly kneel down and propose to her? She really couldn't understand what had happened.

    He argued with her, insulted her, and she jumped into the river in anger, leading to a cold war. Does liking someone need a reason? What exactly is it about someone you secretly love? Perhaps she likes his good looks, but she's poor, ordinary, and unattractive, unable to earn money for tuition through part-time jobs. She's then bullied by the school beauty, who throws yogurt at her. Enraged, she throws it back, only to have her part-time job boss withhold her wages. She overhears the school beauty throwing yogurt at her and then he confesses his love to her. Furious, she randomly finds a taller, more handsome stranger—who turns out to be her brother—and begs him to be her boyfriend, throwing yogurt back at both of them. Nothing is more painful than hearing him with someone else. He mocks her as an ugly duckling, and she jumps into the river in anger. He saves her, and they both lose their memories but are put to sleep by medication. When they're found, the school beauty is furious and wants to kill her. Why did he save her? Their relationship becomes a mess. She was initially jealous of someone she didn't have a legitimate claim to, but now it seems like two brothers are fighting over her, a battleground of force and pursuit, a "wife-chasing" scenario. Who should she choose now?

I can't abandon her and the baby." I clutched my 30 million breakup fee, frantically waving my hands: "No, no, no! I just ate too many snacks and my stomach hurt, that's why I threw up! Please don't take responsibility for me!" With that, I grabbed my card and ran, disappearing overnight. Three months later, he waited outside my hometown, holding a report in one hand and staring intently at my round belly with the other, gritting his teeth: "Did the snacks in your belly come to life? They've even grown into the shape of a fetus?"
