    Reader note

    Sisters, I absolutely have to recommend this book! A yandere male lead + a fiercely protective female lead – top-tier character design, a double-A combination!! The male lead appears to be a sickly, easily bullied guy, but secretly he's insanely crazy, playing the victim by day and a killing machine by night. The female lead is a daughter of a military family; after losing her memory, she forgets who he is, but he knew from the beginning – she was the one who saved him. Later, it becomes a "Whoever touches my husband, I'll make them regret ever being born" mode. It features a double time-travel setting, and the ancient treasure, the Qinglan Scroll, is hidden on the female lead's wrist. The male lead is truly yandere, the angst is truly angst, but the sweet moments are also truly sweet. It's full of heart-wrenching moments and sweet moments, with a happy ending and both leads being virgins!
