    Trust me, this one is absolutely amazing. I'm not Chinese if I'm lying!! I stumbled upon this book while browsing online; female-centric romance novels are quite rare. But the more I read, the more captivating it became. The male lead was initially indifferent to the female lead, but by the middle of the story, he was practically a stalker, a complete psychopath. The author must be a famous author using a secondary account; they don't seem like a newbie.

Bai Jingxuan hated himself, pounding his head in frustration. Thinking of the loving moments they shared in both lives, the longing and pain of those two lifetimes intertwined, forming a river of grief. He was heartbroken, his heart aching so much he could hardly breathe. Unable to suppress the overwhelming sorrow, he wept uncontrollably, his anguished sobs echoing through the courtyard. The once dignified and refined young master Bai, unable to bear the blow of losing his beloved, turned white-haired overnight. He trudged through the snow-covered courtyard towards the gate, his robes fluttering, his silver hair flying, the snow swirling around him, he seemed to merge with the icy landscape, indistinguishable from it all. He left the mansion and headed directly towards the Prince of An'nan's residence, An'nan silently following not far away.
