He also possesses a photographic memory and is incredibly learned, which would be beneficial to her business dealings. Wei Ruowan thinks this is a great deal and goes to great lengths to heal his wounds and his broken heart. But she… accidentally transmigrates back to Shi Buyan, a prince who has been living in exile, a cursed star, obsessed with manipulating the court and dragging the entire world down with him, until a strange and eccentric young lady suddenly enters his dark life like a fleeting shadow. For the first time, Shi Buyan harbors a desire for romance. He lowers his guard, washes away his resentment for her, and is willing to let go of his obsessions to spend his life with her. But Wei Ruowan disappeared when he changed his mind. Everyone said she was dead. Shi Buyan didn't believe it, went mad, and became a desperate widower. Thus, the world gained a killing knife, a madman who saw all things as worthless. He guarded his daughter, waiting desperately and hopefully for someone who seemed to never return... Five years later, they met again. Wei Ruowan looked at the fearsome, mad, and powerful minister, whose face was exactly the same as the husband she had taken in! Her heart sank! Danger! What kind of person had she taken in?!

    All completed!! Highly rated!! A must-read!!! [Drooling] 1. The early chapters are about the pure love between the senior sister and the loyal puppy [heart emoji]. The later chapters depict the love-hate relationship between the senior sister and the puppy (sweet and sour, not tear-jerking, but some parts will make your heart ache [almost crying emoji]. Happy ending! Those who can handle this can enjoy it!) Later, because the senior sister wanted the puppy to reach greater heights, she let go, and the puppy became possessed and "darkened." The two became adversaries, and the senior sister even hid her impending death from the puppy. In the end, the senior sister's death was a ruse, and the puppy, in his "darkened" state, killed her with his own hands [almost crying emoji]. However, they always had feelings for each other!! [Almost crying emoji][almost crying emoji][heart emoji] Go for it, everyone! This author's works are all very good! [Drooling] 2. Long influenced by the feudalism of a large family, the hierarchy is clear. Because it's a large family, the male lead is initially aloof, but gradually lowers his stance for the female lead and eventually falls for her. [Thinking] But the female lead is always very rational, always knows what she wants, and has very clear goals. She's not a naive girl! She's very intelligent! [Drooling][Drooling] The female lead's fake death at the end was so satisfying! [Sending hearts][Drooling][Drooling] Besides, the author's writing is also excellent! One thing leads to another, with details and foreshadowing everywhere, finally forming a complete closed loop! There are two timelines! The imagination is really deep! Shocking and delicious! Insanely addictive! @Everyone, go watch it now! [Drooling][Drooling][Drooling]
