    Each book tells a story of a broken mirror that can't be mended. The female protagonist is clear-headed and works hard to develop her career, truly transforming herself. 1. The female protagonist marries the "brother" she's secretly loved for many years. Years of marriage wear down their relationship and her smile. When her husband abandons her again, she files for divorce. After being reborn, she resolutely distances herself from her ex-husband, who is still her brother, and focuses on her studies. Another brother, who has always secretly loved her, competes with her, and in the ensuing struggle, the female protagonist finally achieves success in both her career and love life. Her ex-husband eventually regains his memories of his past life, feels immense guilt, and sadly leaves her. 2. The second book is a fanfiction of "My First Half of Life," but it's truly well-written. Zi Jun is more clear-headed and courageous than in the drama, and also has shrewdness and ideas. Through her own efforts, she achieves career development and develops a romantic relationship with He Han. Tang Jing realizes that she and He Han are not suitable for each other and finds her own happiness. I sincerely wish Zi Jun and He Han well. The ex-husband's second marriage is incredibly difficult; he regrets it but can't escape the scheming woman. Well, good deeds are rewarded. 3. The male lead is an extremely selfish and scumbag. After the female lead is reborn, she is brave and resourceful, sending him to prison. All the villains get their comeuppance. 4. The female lead loved the wrong person, a cold-hearted general. After being exiled for many years, she returns to the capital and falls in love with a kind and brave commander. She ignores the general's desperate attempts to win her back and ultimately lives happily ever after with him. The author's writing is excellent. The most tragic thing in the world is when someone you've searched for to the ends of the earth is right in front of you, but you are blinded by poison and cannot recognize them, and they have also lost all their painful memories of you. You pass each other by, never to see each other again. 5. The female lead's childhood sweetheart ex-boyfriend slaps her because she accidentally breaks a cup given to her by his ex-girlfriend. The female lead breaks up with him decisively and meets the best Professor Qi. The childhood sweetheart ultimately loses the one who loved him for so many years. All the books have received good reviews. Broken mirrors cannot be mended; let go of the past and move towards a better life.

    This is a contemporary romance novel I devoured after staying up all night. It's incredibly captivating and sophisticated, perfect for seasoned, intelligent readers. New readers won't understand it. The business warfare aspect is arguably the best on the entire platform. The romance is exceptionally nuanced. The writing is superb. I'm currently looking for a replacement, so please recommend it to me if you have any recommendations. I'm sincerely seeking one.

    At 38, my second marriage ended with my wife holding a knife to our child's neck. She said she had fallen in love with the man who picked up my child and begged me to let her have him. My hands trembled violently as I signed the papers, but I smiled and said okay. After all, who could I ask for when I was away so often, leaving her to raise two children and a sick father alone? After the divorce, she begged me to keep it a secret, and I begged her to keep it from my seriously ill father. We each got what we wanted, like two skilled actors, playing the role of a loving couple in front of the children. Until my father, on his deathbed, held her hand tightly and said, "Thank you for taking care of my son all these years..."
