   This "wife-chasing-after-the-cremation" story is really good. In the first life, the male lead was an emperor, but he was arrogant and sensitive, always afraid the female lead would leave him. There was also a traitor interfering, ultimately causing the female lead's death (the first life is very short, only one chapter). In the second life, the male lead is reborn [the female lead isn't reborn]. In his previous life, he never favored any of his concubines [when he deliberately provoked the female lead, it was just an act; he didn't actually touch any other women]. He then spent the rest of his life reflecting on his mistakes. After being reborn, he begins his "wife-chasing-after-the-cremation" saga. He has nightmares whenever the female lead isn't by his side, and he even grows a mouth. He uses every method he can to win her back. In the end, they get together sweetly. [Laughing][laughing]

   Reader note

   A heart-wrenching story of a wife-chasing tale. In their shared room, the younger sister's words in his dream are mistaken for a dream. Their families are sworn enemies, forced into a marriage of convenience; the child is a bargaining chip for inheritance. Their love is absent, a marriage of convenience that blossoms into romance. She gives him a rope to measure her neck, which he discovers. She asks if he believes she'll buy him a necklace; he doesn't, so he ties her hands with the rope. Their child cries, and her tearful eyes evoke his pity. Yet, he stubbornly grabs her chin, revealing their past as enemies. Seeing her packing, he assumes she's trying to escape, forcibly binding her in his arms to prevent her from packing, and again warning her of their sworn enemy families. He instructs the butler to monitor the castle 24/7 to prevent her from leaving. With a sliver of hope to escape, she asked him why he was doing this. He only knew he was doing it, but he didn't realize it was because he had feelings for her and didn't want her to leave. He was simply trying to stop her from leaving. She pitifully begged him not to be angry, like a vixen. His father wanted him to divorce his wife, but he couldn't bear to hear the word "divorce." His grandfather had forced his father to divorce his mother, and now it was his father's turn to force him to divorce her. He still didn't know whether his mother was alive or dead. Her mother also wanted him to divorce her. He thought it was her family forcing him to divorce her, so he questioned her. Unaware of the situation, a silent tear rolled down her cheek. He asked her what she was pretending for, but then kissed her tear. He was puzzled; why would a family feud do this? She said she wanted a divorce, and at that moment her family came to rescue her with weapons. He tried everything to stop them, injuring them all. He and she had always been mortal enemies, but she suddenly pulled out an art knife and tried to kill him. His eyes were bloodshot as he warned her not to divorce him, or she would die. She cried and asked him why he showed her any pity. He slapped her, trying to make her realize that they were enemies, but he killed her love for him. In disbelief and despair, she asked him if he had never loved her. He suddenly remembered his grandfather's words: "A man without love is carefree." She coldly suggested sleeping in separate rooms. The housekeeper asked him why he didn't kill her, and he told the housekeeper to shut up. She ran downstairs, and he thought she was trying to escape. Their conversations always seemed to have a chasm that love couldn't bridge, as if their entanglement was a deep-seated grudge. She asked where her family was, and he stubbornly insisted they were thrown up a mountain, threatening her to go with them. Heartbroken, she banged her head against a wall and lost her memory. He wept with heartache. The housekeeper asked him if he had fallen in love with her. She didn't know he was her husband. She hit him, and he saw it as a reward. He realized his true feelings and began a sweet, loving, and happy relationship with her. He fed her but not his son, and even when imprisoned, he thought it was a good thing that food and lodging were provided. Just as she was about to give birth to her daughter, she regained her memories. She asked him if she had fallen in love with him, listening to his heartbeat. He unconsciously and gently admitted it, but upon waking, he denied it, saying that he and she were sworn enemies. She asked him again, but he blushed and denied it. At the height of their love, his father made him divorce her. She heard him say he loved her, and he began to admit it, begging her not to leave. His father gave him 50 million to leave her, but she heard that he wanted more money and that the money was hers. She took 500 million as a breakup fee and went home. He started crying. He went back to her parents' home to chase after her, but her family said he was her savior. What was going on? His father, worried about his son, chased after him. Will this sworn enemy continue, or will they shake hands and make peace?

    This book's rating is too low. The author writes it quite well for this genre. Both the male and female leads are prone to madness, and the romance is a typical angst-filled story, but the female lead has a sharp tongue and doesn't hold back her slaps. After his divorce, the male lead transforms into a ruthless, repressed, and violent persona. 😡 The writing style is hilarious, providing a moment of relaxation amidst the emotional turmoil. The whole book is constantly embroiled in dramatic, melodramatic "other woman" tropes, which, combined with the female lead's sharp tongue, made me laugh to death. Personally, I think it's not bad; those who like this genre should definitely check it out—you'll be pleasantly surprised!

    She went from a devoted girl to a heartbreaker, a seemingly innocent but actually ruthless woman, kissing another man in front of him, making him jealous without any real connection. Dumped by her childhood sweetheart, she returned from studying abroad to seek revenge, transforming from a good girl into a wicked one. She became a womanizer, a womanizer who smoked and drank, and every substitute she found resembled him. In a dream, he asked her if she loved him, but she woke up to find him lying next to her. Hitting him became a reward. Her best friend asked if she remembered him. She said she didn't, but her friend said she hadn't revealed who that person was. Yes, when you love someone, even the shadows of their substitutes surround you. Even during her time studying abroad, she still thought of him. How can one forget the one they love most? How long does it take for a devoted person to become a heartbreaker? Just the moment he dumped her. She changed. Her transformation into a heartbreaker was only superficial; he still took her virginity. She said she wanted to kiss a male model. So he could be jealous too. Where was he before? Did he love her? She didn't know. If he loved her, why did he dump her so cruelly back then? The seven-year itch is something no one can escape, right? His childhood sweetheart became a CEO, and he begged her to have their child to tie her down. Can a person be this cruel? He didn't want to use a child to bind her; he tried to keep her by his side forever, unaware that she had changed. She had nightmares about him abandoning her, yet he held her and said he wouldn't leave. Upon waking, her instinctive reaction was to slap him. Is it that being too greedy means you can never have the one you love most? Little did she know, she called him crazy, but he said he wouldn't be crazy if it weren't for her. He grabbed her neck and asked if she had been with someone else abroad. She felt his jealousy and, though she felt triumphant, he smashed the phone her mother had bought as a keepsake. Having missed her mother's funeral, she began to hate him. She replaced his male assistant and secretary with his stand-ins, provoked him by having unofficial relationships with them, and even kissed them in front of him. He was furious and extremely jealous. Their relationship was never officially announced, yet she was consumed by jealousy over their lack of recognition. Watching him be jealous, she felt a strange sense of vengeful pleasure, but she used foreign etiquette to provoke him. He had nowhere to vent his anger. He said he wanted to kiss like that abroad too, but she said enemies don't need to kiss. He was enraged... His face turned green as he forbade office romances, implying that only he and she were permitted to have one—a double standard. She skipped work to meet her younger self at a party hosted by the school's most popular male model, but secretly hoped he'd catch her. She kept wondering why he hadn't arrived yet. Finally, he came, but as she tried to open the door, she regretted that he had prevented her from seeing her mother one last time. Some hatred, in the face of love, only brings pain and distortion. Torn between two people she loved most—her beloved mother and the man she loved most—she agonized over the regret of not seeing her mother one last time; the dead cannot be brought back to life. He was alive, so she had no regrets. But her mother couldn't live, and she couldn't forgive him. Even when the male assistant wanted him dead, she hesitated and agreed. He said she was heartless, unaware that he was even more heartless when he dumped her. She was merely repeating the actions she had taken when dumping him. The male assistant also smashed the wine glass her mother had left behind, yet she didn't see him as an enemy, only heartache and hatred. This made her resolve to join forces with the male assistant to kill him, but love made her hesitate about telling him the truth about his impending death. She bitterly thought, wasn't this the best opportunity for revenge? Yet, she felt he didn't deserve to die. People are always caught in a dilemma when making choices; the contradiction seemed to make either choice unhappy. But she didn't understand what the male assistant meant by what he said. Wasn't he clearly dumped her because he didn't love her? Why were his words so light and so heavy?

    This is torture for the "male lead," isn't this a classic "wife-chasing-after-the-cry" scenario? The actual female lead is probably unromantic. Anyway, it's incredibly satisfying, highly recommended! [Smirk][smirk] All I can say is that this male lead is utterly useless.

    "Mr. Lu, it's been three years, and the marriage certificate… are you still going to keep it from Madam?" Wen Yining's breath hitched. After a moment, Lu Yuanshen's deep, alert voice came from inside: "Yining has become suspicious?" "No, it's just…" "Then wait a little longer. Compared to Yining, Ayao needs the status of Mrs. Lu more. The IJL International Jewelry Design Competition needs Lu's background." "But, if Madam finds out about this, I'm afraid…" "Don't worry, she'll only throw a tantrum for a few days at most. Back then, she even gave up her inheritance rights to the Wen family for me. Now, besides me, who else can she rely on?" "As for Ayao…" His voice was still slow, but his tone softened almost imperceptibly: "She has always had a high talent in the field of jewelry design, and I don't want her talent to be buried like this…" Outside the study. Wen Yining felt cold all over, listening to the conversation inside the study in disbelief.
