    The new book is currently being serialized. The early part is a long-planned, ambiguous tug-of-war between the male protagonist, a ghostly figure, and the female protagonist (the table of contents is practically a depiction of the protagonist's conquest process). The male protagonist is deeply in love with the female protagonist, obsessively and madly wanting her. He is meticulous, calculating, and scheming, constantly manipulating the female protagonist to willingly drift towards him—a very calculating character, which the female protagonist sees as utterly despicable. He is possessive of the female protagonist, and there's a period when the female protagonist is close to her childhood sweetheart, leaving the male protagonist only able to feel jealous without any official status—it's truly chilling. However, judging from the synopsis, it seems to be a story of love and hate amidst conflict. You can check out the table of contents and synopsis first. The author's writing is always very delicate; I recommend it to everyone.

    For profit, my mother-in-law sold me to my husband's half-brother. What's the most wicked mother-in-law you've ever met? My mother-in-law, a widow for many years raising her son alone, outwardly appeared to be a devout Buddhist, but secretly hated me to the core—hated that I came from a better background than her, hated that her son was always obedient to me, hated that I never knelt to serve her. When the Zhang family business went bankrupt, she saw the family fortune about to collapse, and instead of thinking about how to save it, she thought about how to sell me for money. While my husband was away on business, she gave me a document to sign, saying it was for business purposes. At that time, all I could think about was "my husband is in danger, I need to sign this quickly so I can save him," so I signed it without even looking at it. It wasn't a business document. It was a divorce decree—with a hidden compartment containing a contract of servitude. She sold her daughter-in-law to the illegitimate son of her husband's concubine. The buyer was Xiao Qihao, who had long coveted me. The price was a chest of gold enough for her to save the Zhang family business. That man locked me in a secluded courtyard, torturing me day and night, forcing me to bear his child. My husband searched for me for ten whole years.

He died questioning himself: Was I not good enough? That's why she didn't want me. He didn't know that his own mother ruined our lives.

She had a crush on him from the moment she opened her eyes at birth—her childhood sweetheart. From childhood to adulthood, she dared not confess her feelings, afraid of losing a friend. To love someone meant being able to stay by their side as a friend. To be in the same school as him, she would study through the night, even if it meant getting the lowest score, just to be near him and catch a glimpse of him from afar. He mocked her for being last, but she wasn't angry; instead, she congratulated and envied him for being first. Until her wealthy roommate, the school beauty, appeared as a rival. She began to feel threatened; it seemed his side no longer belonged to her. The school beauty asked him to pass on a love letter, which he mistook for a confession. The trampled letter shattered his unrequited love, leaving him heartbroken. But she feigned amnesia, wanting to be brave once more, and she experienced unprecedented happiness. His true feelings were revealed until he discovered she had lied to him, faking amnesia. She was abandoned. His promise to marry her next year turned into a nightmare when she received his engagement invitation this same day next year. Her heart was in turmoil, and she stubbornly refused to go.

Reborn, he plotted revenge against the young master, forcibly taking his beloved. But the young master's beloved didn't love him; she only loved the young master. His heart ached. The beloved he had taken already belonged to someone else, not him. He thought that as long as he treated her well, she would eventually fall in love with him. But he was wrong. Although the person he had taken was by his side, her heart belonged to the young master. She cried and begged him to give the young master a... The young master, before his death, said he treated her like a brother, but he thought he was a complete idiot. She fainted, and he worried about her, so he called a private doctor to see her and took care of her for a long time. He watched her get sick because of the young master, and his heart shattered. She even made a pact with him, saying that he couldn't touch her until she fell in love with him, and he, like a lapdog, agreed. But he didn't know that the young master had also been reborn. The young master was reborn, and she loved him even more, but in order to survive, she pretended to love him. How could he not know that she didn't love him? He simply craved her love, even if it was a false one, she was willing to put on an act for him. He didn't want things to drag on and wanted to register their marriage, but she tried to delay. Threatened by him, she had no choice but to compromise. But suddenly, the young master appeared, blocking their marriage registration. She held the young master's hand as if it were truly them who wanted to register. He truly hated that the young master had been reborn, hindering their happiness. Even a forced marriage was still happiness. He wanted to kill the young master, but she compromised again and registered their marriage. The young master tearfully asked her if they had really registered. He tore up their marriage certificate, but she told him to forget her. He had a title, yet he was still jealous. In his previous life, when he couldn't have her, he was jealous of the lack of a title. Loving someone too much, even knowing they don't love you back, is like forcing a relationship—it's never sweet, never satisfying. She drugged him, and in his delirium, he heard her and the young master's intimacy, thinking it was a dream. When he woke up, she said she was intimate with him. Three months later, she became pregnant. She was always restless, constantly thinking about things, and even when he hugged her, she would instinctively slap him. It wasn't until the child was born that he found out who the father was. She asked him if he would kill her, but he only wanted to kill the young master, not her. He pressed her, asking if she had ever truly loved him. Her lack of love became a permanent pain in his heart. He let her go, but the young master wanted to kill him. She suddenly jumped out and took the knife for him. He didn't understand what she meant by this. The young master said she had changed her mind, that the meaning of his rebirth was gone. But he, like a bitter melon, was tired and felt there was no need to love her anymore. Her change of heart came too late, happiness came too late, and he had already let go long ago. With bitterness, she repeatedly asked him if he still loved her. Did he still love her? Will his and her love continue to be entangled and complicated, or will it just end like this?

    Che Han approached Ze Xia with a very clear purpose: revenge. He presented himself as the perfect lover, using passion and flattery to make her fall for him, then deliberately playing hot and cold, flirting with other women, and even throwing a glass at her. While doing all this, he thought, "I want you to hate me, love me, and yet be unable to leave me." But he would instinctively reach out to help Ze Xia when he saw her tears, abandon his revenge plan for her, break down madly after her disappearance, and scream on the beach, "My heart habitually beats for you." He knew she wasn't Ze Shuang, yet he still chose to kneel down and love her. This love was real. Xi Rui imprisoned Ze Xia for five years, controlling her with fear, manipulating her with threats, and now plotting to sow discord within her family. None of her actions could be called "kind." But her love was real, and it was the most intense, the most extreme, the most unconditional. She would ask Che Xi about Ze Xia's favorite ice cream flavor. She would personally feed her and humbly coax her. After Ze Xia escaped, she didn't pursue her, but simply waited. She would say to Yuan Ye, "Like you, Ze Xia's happiness is true happiness compared to mine." Hope Rui's love was rotten to the core. While creating pain, she said, "I never really hurt you." This wasn't hypocrisy; she genuinely didn't feel she was hurting her. She believed love was like this—controlling you, imprisoning you, piling the best things in the world on you, but you have to stay in my palace.
