   The first one is really good. The beginning was a bit awkward, but it got really sweet later. The second one has a male lead who, despite amnesia, isn't foolish enough to become someone else's son-in-law. He's the kind of guy who, once he falls in love, is devoted to one person for life. It's really good. The third one has a female lead who's incredibly difficult, but after dying and being reborn, she realizes how foolish she was and how good the male lead is. While other stories are about women chasing after their husbands, this one is about women chasing after their lovers. It's really good, and I found it very satisfying. The fourth one has one female lead and four male leads. I really liked it. In reality, this kind of story shouldn't exist. Girls who like this kind of story should check it out; it's really good and exciting.

    📚 "Mr. Ji, Stop Torturing Her, Miss Shu Has Already Married"🔥 ——A crazy CEO chasing his wife through a hellish ordeal × A resilient, terminally ill heroine retaliates against the scumbags [Cold and obsessive tycoon CEO × Resilient and clear-headed terminally ill substitute] ✨Find the sweetness amidst the glass shards, first it's heart-wrenching, then it's lung-wrenching, and finally it's so sweet it'll make your heart ache✨ 💌Recommended Critical Points💌 1️⃣*The ultimate torture of substitute literature: Shu Wan was Ji Sihan's secret lover for five years, simply because her eyes and brows resembled his white moonlight. He coldly watched her swallow birth control pills, threw out an exorbitant breakup fee, but completely went mad when she turned around and married someone else. On a stormy night, he pinned her against the wall of the Civil Affairs Bureau, biting her lip: "If you dare to marry, I dare to make the entire City A pay for your death!" 2️⃣The aesthetics of a death countdown: The heroine suffers from a terminal illness but hides her condition, and is misunderstood by the male lead as a "greedy substitute," until she coughs up blood and faints, revealing her medical records. The most painful thing wasn't the illness itself, but Ji Sihan crushing her diagnosis and sneering, "Playing dead? I'll see how many episodes you can keep up this act!" 3️⃣ Insanely Angry Scene: - He forced her to kneel and pour wine in public, the red wine soaking her long hair: "**She should stay in the mud." - After she faked her death and escaped, he dug open the grave with his bare hands, holding the urn and roaring in the snowy night: "Shu Wan, even your tombstone is mocking my love!" 4️⃣ Shocking Reversal: When Ji Sihan discovered that Shu Wan was the girl who saved him all those years ago, and that his white moonlight had stolen the keepsake and taken her identity, he knelt down, shattering glass everywhere, his hand holding the diamond ring dripping with blood: "I'll exchange my bone marrow for your heart, please live until the day you can no longer hate me..." 💔 High Angst Warning 💔 - Chapter 15, "Kneeling to Pour Wine," a humiliating scene, tissue warning! - Chapter 44: A Life-or-Death Decision in the Fire. Ji Sihan personally pushes Shu Wan out the window, his eyes bloodshot: "Hate me all you want, and in the next life, I'll be your dog." 🌟 Tomato Feature 🌟 - 9.3 rating for an extremely angsty novel, with thousands of comments pleading for "President Ji to be shattered into a QR code!" - Free serialization, proceed with caution if you're reading late at night (easy to stay up all night) - Hidden danger: Carefully examine the black card PIN 0826 left by Shu Wan—it's actually Ji Sihan's birthday! ⚠️ **Reading Notes** ⚠️ Bring your own insulin and nitroglycerin.
