    I guess this counts. It's about a yandere male lead and a parasitic female lead. My favorite line is, "Jiang Shuyi's sorrow lies in the fact that her affection for the emperor was ten years longer, while the emperor's affection for her was ten years shorter." The female lead, when she loved and relied on the male lead the most, was tricked by her sister and son into strangling herself. She was reborn back to a time when the male lead didn't love her as much. I, in my love for the male lead, returned to a time when he didn't love me as much. She died once when the emperor personally led a campaign to release her, and once in his arms. Her death in the finale was very sudden. One second she was nestled in the emperor's arms, sweetly saying, "It's so good, Your Majesty, I want to stay like this forever, year after year, like this day." The next second she was gone. 😢 But the epilogue has a happy ending where she becomes an immortal. After the female lead's death, the male lead arranges her funeral and goes to be with her, not wanting to suffer the pain of her passing. He even suffers two lifetimes of early death in her place in the cycle of reincarnation. Afterwards, they live very well in heaven. 😘😘
