   Although this book's 7.4 rating is a bit low, I predict it will become a hit later on. Just look at how long I've been reading it! The theme is a Republican-era story with a past-life/present-day reincarnation theme. The male lead is both crazy and wild; although not a CEO, he's the son of the richest man in the country in this life. The female lead is a young lady from a scholarly family whose soul was mistakenly taken on her wedding night in her previous life. She cried for three days and three nights in the underworld, becoming an official for 200 years. The little madwoman who loved him for 1000 years across eight lifetimes searched for him for 200 years. In his previous life, he thought they could be together forever, but he discovered his bride wasn't her. He went mad, crying, "Huanhuan, without you, how can I live?" Huanhuan, only seeing her brings him joy; how could he not love her? Hehe, words fail me, just read it, it's really good!
