    This is my own writing. It's about a sugar daddy and a canary—one loves without realizing it, the other sees it as a transaction. Childhood is like weeds, growing wildly, yearning to be burned away completely, leaving no trace, never to return in the next life. The Little Mermaid endured 14 years on a knife's edge, only to turn into sea foam the moment she basked in sunlight. If childhood is too bitter, everything tastes sweet when you grow up; but if it's too bitter, you can't taste sweetness anymore. This is my inspiration, but when Yiming met Lan Huan, the fire truly ignited, and the two of them were burned to ashes together, almost… never to see each other again.

    A crazy female protagonist's revenge story, so satisfying, folks, this is truly my favorite! The female protagonist and her childhood sweetheart Nancy were a couple, but she was cruelly murdered by the male protagonist. Filled with boundless hatred, she approached him and became his lover. While the male protagonist was surrounded by other women, she remained steadfast. She watched him gradually fall in love with her, then personally crushed his love. Forget about any unrequited love; they're all insignificant compared to the female protagonist's grand revenge plan. High-energy throughout, undoubtedly a must-read! #TopLoversMustRead #CrazyFemaleProtagonistRevenge #SatisfyingNovelRecommendation
