**"Little Rose of Jingtu Jiuye's Childhood": an ultimate sadomasochism of rebirth and redemption, so sweet that it trembles in the heart, and it hurts to the point of suffocation** As an old bookworm who has been immersed in romance novels all year round, I thought that I was already immune to such routines as "rebirth" and "chasing his wife in the crematorium", but the moment I opened this book, I was directly dragged into a suffocating and hot whirlpool - **It turns out that falling in love like crazy can really transcend life, death and time**. **"If you use me as a tool, you will use me for a lifetime."** Master Jiu's words made my heart skip a beat. In her previous life, Meng Mingxuan misunderstood that he was cold-blooded and even died because of him; after her rebirth, she discovered that this sinister and paranoid man had already killed people in Kyoto for her and guarded her tomb for the rest of his life. He loved silently and fiercely, like a poisoned knife, with the blade pointed at the whole world, but he handed the handle to her. And Yin Ting, the "stand-in" who caused her death in the previous life, is entangled like crazy in this life, screaming "She is just trying to get revenge on me!" - In this triangular Shura field, there is no winning or losing, only the strangulation of love and obsession**. **What struck me the most was Meng Mingxuan's "counter-attack"**. She is no longer a little white flower waiting for redemption, but a revenge rose holding a rebirth script. While doting on Master Jiu and his sister, he peeled off the false mask and worked hard every step of the way. The undercurrent of the family conspiracy, the shocking secret hidden by the sister, and the humble love of Master Jiu hidden under the cold mask are like an airtight net, making people breathless but unable to stop. **There are so many high-energy famous scenes**: - Master Jiu pinched her waist and asked in a dumb voice: "Do you dare to use me for the rest of your life?" - On a rainy night, he was covered in blood but smiled and wiped away her tears: "My life has been yours for a long time." - Yin Ting sneered with red eyes: "Do you love his face or my shadow?" Every chapter is like licking candy on the tip of a knife. The sweet pet is wrapped in glass shards. The crazy plot of the male lead pursuing his wife in the crematorium is so cruel that it makes people tremble. The author's writing is so powerful that he captures Master Jiu's deep affection, his sister's forbearance, and Yin Ting's twisted desire. All members have online IQs. There are no tool people, only living souls torn apart by fate. If you are tired of industrial saccharine and want to experience an **ultimate emotional storm**, this book will definitely make you stay up until dawn - after all, who can refuse a crazy male protagonist who fights through hell for you, but only asks you to take one more look?
