   I disagree with the "pig butchering scam" narrative!!! The male lead is a prince charming, a genuine rich and handsome man, with a gentle, older father. The female lead believes she's found true love, only to discover he's part of a pig butchering scam. Initially, he's solely focused on plotting to harm the female lead, but later he gets caught up in the scheme and realizes he truly loves her. However, the female lead no longer loves him and has other people in her life. PS: The male lead almost killed the female lead, but the author didn't because she loves her daughter.

    When she sent me the video of our hotel room, I was in a jewelry store picking out a diamond ring. In the video, she and her childhood friend of twenty years were sitting on two white sheets, laughing without any guardedness. The salesperson asked if the size was right, and I said no. Four years of relationship—I could even accept betrayal, but not stupidity. After the breakup, she cried and asked me why I was so heartless.
