   This book is so addictive! The female lead is reborn and regrets her actions, becoming sweet, obedient, and clingy. The male lead is also love-struck, doting on the female lead and calling her "darling." He's handsome, has a great physique, and is practically perfect. The key is that he only dotes on the female lead; he's incredibly intelligent in public. It's so good! Highly recommended! I feel like this book is destined to be a hit!
