   Broken Dreams under the Moonlight After reading this book, I can't calm down for a long time. The hero's choice vividly demonstrates the complexity of human nature and the fragility of love. The male protagonist and his wife have been secretly married for a year, and the new life in his wife's belly is quietly growing. This is a warm moment full of hope. But the appearance of Bai Yueguang instantly broke all the peace. The male protagonist's obsession with Bai Yueguang is an illusory pursuit beautified by the filter of time. In his memory, Bai Yueguang carries the most beautiful longing of youth. Even after marriage, this obsession has never dissipated. When Bai Yueguang appeared again, he was obsessed with the phantom of the past. He completely ignored his responsibilities to the family and abandoned his wife and unborn child. And the wife fell from the cloud of happiness into the abyss of pain. She endured the discomfort of pregnancy alone, and had to face her husband's betrayal. The previous vows of eternal love evaporated, leaving only endless pain and despair. Her experience allows us to see the helplessness and sadness of the betrayed party in love. This plot profoundly reveals the weakness of human nature. On the scale of love and responsibility, the male protagonist selfishly leaned toward his own desires. His behavior not only hurt his wife, but also destroyed the future of a family. It makes us reflect that when faced with the choice between love and responsibility, we should stick to our inner bottom line, not be carried away by temporary desires, cherish the happiness in front of us, and not let obsession become the executioner of happiness.
