    A very high-quality book about the rebirth of the times. The plot is compact, the setting is novel, unsystematic, and the writing is rich and delicate. It has the familiarity of a period drama.

    Being transported into another world, I was bound by the system as soon as I opened my eyes. My only mission in this life was to personally destroy the boy who was obsessed with me. He was a taciturn and helpless poor boy, but he showed all his tenderness to me. He secretly gave me the sweet-scented osmanthus nectar made by his grandma, patiently raised the mint grass I taught him, and waited for me countless days and nights in the deserted alley. But I can't help myself. Systemic punishments followed me like a shadow. I could only say cruel words to him, steal his documents, commit perjury to harm him, and watch him go from tolerant and expectant to gloomy and paranoid, and fall into the abyss little by little. I thought this was fate, until that accident, I lost my memory and ran away. I stayed anonymous for three years, built a business from scratch, and completely cut off all ties with the past. I thought I was free, but little did I know that the young man I had injured so badly had already transformed into a paranoid and cruel business boss. He searched for me for three whole years and visited every city. On the day we reunited, he trapped me tightly with red eyes, his voice was hoarse, and he cried blood every word: "Lin Youyou, you hurt me, lied to me, abandoned me, and now you want to pretend that you don't know me? This time, even if you die, don't even think about escaping again."
