    ① Ancient Chinese romance: The female lead died of illness in her previous life. (The scene where the male lead is extremely grief-stricken after her death is really satisfying and engaging.) The male and female leads have a misunderstanding and like each other but neither expresses it. In this life, they are both reborn, and the male lead pursues his wife to make up for the regrets. The writing is excellent, the plot is engaging, and the side couple is also very enjoyable. Highly recommended. ② Campus romance: They like each other, but the male lead's arrogance and pride cause the female lead to become depressed and attempt suicide. In this life, the female lead gives up, and the male lead pursues his wife. The logic is sound, and there are also scenes after the female lead's death in her previous life, which are very satisfying and engaging.
