    1. The female lead initially liked the male lead and chased after him. However, on their engagement day, the male lead was called away by the female supporting character (who later forced him into a relationship; she called him when she had an episode, but he didn't believe her and actually passed away from the illness). The female lead, furious, went home, turned off her phone, and went to sleep. She missed the call because her father had already left for the hospital. Despite this, she still married the male lead, pretending to be in love, working hard to make money while secretly plotting against him, and then divorced him. The male lead went crazy and tried to force himself on her, even using hypnosis and pregnancy, but couldn't win her back. 2. A school bullying story where the male and female leads meet online and don't know each other. In the real world, the male lead bullies the female lead. Later, he discovers she's his girlfriend and starts pursuing her. Ultimately, the female lead gets the male lead imprisoned and finds her happiness. The male lead's family is very wealthy, and the female lead's journey has been difficult. 3. The male lead killed the female lead's father for revenge and took control of her family's company. He imprisoned the female lead; both are contradictory individuals. The male lead is disgusting, constantly humiliating the female lead, both mentally and physically. The female lead is spineless and foolish. It ends in a bad ending.

    The first and last books are the best cremation-themed novels of the year, especially the first one. Anyone who loves cremation stories can't miss this one!!! It's incredibly good; I've reread it several times! There are no substitutes online; the characters are so compelling! The second book is okay, with a touch of forced love, and it's quite good too. The third book is also incredibly well-written; I've reread it several times as well. This one also has no substitutes; it's the kind of slow-burning, bittersweet feeling. I highly recommend reading it.

    This "wife-chasing-after-the-cremation" story is so positive and uplifting, and it really resonates with me—it's bittersweet! The male lead's actions are driven by his sense of morality and responsibility, but! He never hurt his daughter. The "cremation" is for the better of both of them [crying][crying]. The female lead even has a slightly gloomy vibe, hahaha, they're so perfectly normal!
