   He secretly seduces and gets his wish. In his past life, he was killed by the young master's dog for peeping at his beloved while she bathed. Reborn, he plots revenge against the young master, forcibly taking his beloved. But she doesn't love him; she only loves the young master. His heart aches. The woman he snatched has someone else in her heart, not him. He thought that if he treated her well, she would eventually fall in love with him. But he was wrong. Though she is by his side, her heart belongs to the young master. She cries and begs him to give the young master a proper burial. Before the young master died, he said he treated him like a brother, but he thought he was a complete idiot. She fainted, and he was worried, so he called a private doctor to see her and took care of her for a long time. He watched her get sick because of the young master, and his heart was broken. She even made a pact with him that he was not allowed to touch her until she fell in love with him, and he agreed like a lapdog. But he didn't know that the young master had also been reborn. The young master was reborn, and she loved him even more, but in order to survive, she pretended to love him. How could he not know that she didn't love him? He simply craved her love, even if it was a false one, she was willing to put on an act for him. He didn't want things to drag on and wanted to register their marriage, but she tried to delay. Threatened by him, she had no choice but to compromise. But suddenly, the young master appeared, blocking their marriage registration. She held the young master's hand as if it were truly them who wanted to register. He truly hated that the young master had been reborn, hindering their happiness. Even a forced marriage was still happiness. He wanted to kill the young master, but she compromised again and registered their marriage. The young master tearfully asked her if they had really registered. He tore up their marriage certificate, but she told him to forget her. He had a title, yet he was still jealous. In his previous life, when he couldn't have her, he was jealous of the lack of a title. Loving someone too much, even knowing they don't love you back, is like forcing a relationship—it's never sweet, never satisfying. She drugged him, and in his delirium, he heard her and the young master's intimacy, thinking it was a dream. When he woke up, she said she was intimate with him. Three months later, she became pregnant. She was always restless, constantly thinking about things, and even when he hugged her, she would instinctively slap him. It wasn't until the child was born that he found out who the father was. She asked him if he would kill her, but he only wanted to kill the young master, not her. He pressed her, asking if she had ever truly loved him. Her lack of love became a permanent pain in his heart. He let her go, but the young master wanted to kill him. She suddenly jumped out and took the knife for him. He didn't understand what she meant by this. The young master said she had changed her mind, that the meaning of his rebirth was gone. But he, like a bitter melon, was tired and felt there was no need to love her anymore. Her change of heart came too late, happiness came too late, and he had already let go long ago. With bitterness, she repeatedly asked him if he still loved her. Did he still love her? Will his and her love continue to be entangled and complicated, or will it just end like this?

    This is amazing! The male lead secretly loves and seduces the female lead, and they can be considered each other's redemption. The female lead initially approaches the male lead for a mission, but slowly falls in love! It's very original! The logic is also sound. The female lead, who loves collecting junk, and the golden retriever system go from being a controlled mission taker to becoming a master and pet. The male lead is powerful and a bit clingy. This novel is one of my absolute favorites! I highly recommend everyone add it to their bookshelf and check it out, it's really interesting!!! It's a female-centric novel that opposes systems and oppression. The female lead is gentle yet resilient, and through hard work, she gradually becomes strong, eventually becoming a towering figure that everyone looks up to! It's also an ensemble piece, with supporting characters also having their own thoughts and shining moments. Falling in love with it is effortless!!!
