   Highly recommended!!! A truly awful story!!! The male lead, Shi Yu, starts out as a terrible person who casually kills the female lead on her wedding day, but unexpectedly, she is reborn… and there are unexpected twists later on! It's high-energy throughout and you can't help but keep reading. Not a single scene is forced; it's really good!! If anyone hasn't read this, I'll be very disappointed! Chapter 18 symbolizes the 18 levels of hell 😭!

   Reader note

   The male lead is incredibly eccentric, twisted, and possessive from beginning to end. For example, he installs hidden cameras. He's a truly awful person, and the male and female leads grow to hate Hai Qingtian more and more as the story progresses. In short, the male lead is extremely possessive of the female lead, going insane if she mentions divorce. The first chapter shows the male lead scheming to get the female lead pregnant, then forcibly marrying her (after being saved by her, he becomes curious about her, then premeditates a one-night stand with her on the eve of her engagement to steal her away, then wakes up pretending to be innocent and demanding she take responsibility). After marriage, he uses the child to pressure the female lead into not divorcing him. The male lead is truly a awful person, genuinely insane and extremely possessive; the more the story progresses, the more you realize his true nature. Therefore, the female lead develops a complex mix of love and hate towards him, and both of them grow to hate Hai Qingtian more and more as the story unfolds. This is a niche novel with low readership, but it's undeniably good and very heart-wrenching. In short, the male lead is truly quite insane. The story is so insane that readers are amazed the female lead didn't go mad, especially since the male lead truly embodies the concept of forceful acquisition. He first schemes to get her pregnant, then systematically forces her into marriage—his methods are incredibly ruthless. For details, please refer to the synopsis or the author's epilogue at the end. The author's notes are also very sincere and touching.

    She thought he was a jerk, a fake. Why would he break up with such a good girl? This seemingly innocent girl was actually a heartless devil, kissing someone else right in front of him, making him jealous without any real connection. Dumped by her childhood sweetheart, she went abroad to study and returned for revenge. The good girl turned into a wicked woman, a womanizer, a womanizer, a smoker, a drinker—she did it all. Every substitute she found resembled him. She dreamt he asked her if she loved him, but when she woke up, he was lying next to her. Hitting him became a reward. Her best friend asked if she remembered him. She said she didn't, but her best friend said she hadn't revealed who that person was. Yes, when you love someone, even the shadows of their substitutes surround you. Even during her time studying abroad, she still thought about him. How could anyone forget the one they love most? How long does it take for a devoted person to turn into a heartbreaker? Just the moment he dumped her. She changed. Her transformation was only superficial; he still took her virginity. She said she wanted to kiss a male model. So he could be jealous too. Where was he before? Did he love her? She didn't know. If he loved her, why did he dump her so cruelly back then? The seven-year itch is something no one can escape, right? His childhood sweetheart became a CEO, and he begged her to have their child to tie her down. Can a person be this cruel? He didn't want to use a child to bind her; he tried to keep her by his side forever, unaware that she had changed. She had nightmares about him abandoning her, yet he held her and said he wouldn't leave. Upon waking, her instinctive reaction was to slap him. Is it that being too greedy means you can never have the one you love most? Little did she know, she called him crazy, but he said he wouldn't be crazy if it weren't for her. He grabbed her neck and asked if she had been with someone else abroad. She felt his jealousy and, though she felt triumphant, he smashed the phone her mother had bought as a keepsake. Having missed her mother's funeral, she began to hate him. She replaced his male assistant and secretary with his stand-ins, provoked him by having unofficial relationships with them, and even kissed them in front of him. He was furious and extremely jealous. Their relationship was never officially announced, yet she was consumed by jealousy over their lack of recognition. Watching him be jealous, she felt a strange sense of vengeful pleasure, but she used foreign etiquette to provoke him. He had nowhere to vent his anger. He said he wanted to kiss like that abroad too, but she said enemies don't need to kiss. He was enraged... His face turned green as he forbade office romances, implying that only he and she were permitted to have one—a double standard. She skipped work to meet her younger self at a party hosted by the school's most popular male model, but secretly hoped he'd catch her. She kept wondering why he hadn't arrived yet. Finally, he came, but as she tried to open the door, she regretted that he had prevented her from seeing her mother one last time. Some hatred, in the face of love, only brings pain and distortion. Torn between two people she loved most—her beloved mother and the man she loved most—she agonized over the regret of not seeing her mother one last time; the dead cannot be brought back to life. He was alive, so she had no regrets. But her mother couldn't live, and she couldn't forgive him. Even when the male assistant wanted him dead, she hesitated and agreed. He said she was heartless, unaware that he was even more heartless when he dumped her. She was merely repeating the actions she had taken when dumping him. The male assistant also smashed the wine glass her mother had left behind, yet she didn't see him as an enemy, only heartache and hatred. This made her resolve to join forces with the male assistant to kill him, but love made her hesitate about telling him the truth about his impending death. She bitterly thought, wasn't this the best opportunity for revenge? Yet, she felt he didn't deserve to die. People are always caught in a dilemma when making choices; the contradiction seemed to make either choice unhappy. But she didn't understand what the male assistant meant by what he said. Wasn't he clearly dumped her because he didn't love her? Why were his words so light and so heavy?

Until he saw the "little secretary" who used to serve him tea and water being treated to a meal by the entire company, her smile bright and her figure confident. Others teased, "Secretary Lou, if Mr. Wen knew you were so generous, would he regret it?" Lou Cangyue casually swirled her wine glass: "A net worth of 300 billion, treating him to a meal? He doesn't deserve it."

However, as long as the female lead lives on, the male lead will always be a good guy. He can pretend to be virtuous his whole life for her.
