[A Story of Male Lead Abuse · A Rebirth Novel]
What is love?
Young and ignorant, Annabelle Linton spent her entire life to understand that it was an obsession.
Once fallen, it's impossible to break free. It can give you life, and it can also bring you death.
After her rebirth, she wore a smile on her face, but her eyes were filled with ice.
A friend once asked her why she loved him so much.
She fell silent, then casually changed the subject without answering, but a dazed look flickered in her eyes.
Perhaps it was because the years went by too fast, the world was too harsh, and the road was too difficult to walk alone, and she just wanted a home...

There were only two kinds of people Mr. Grant hated most in this life: those he hated, and Annabelle Linton.
But there was never a reason for hating Annabelle Linton, and he never looked for one.
But later, he thought about it. Was it perhaps his confidence that she would never leave, no matter what?
But reality later told him that he was wrong.
In this world, is there really anyone who would never leave?

[This novel's main focus is on the male lead's suffering. The male lead appears to be a jerk, so patience is required. He unknowingly hurt the female lead for many years. After her rebirth, the female lead stays away from him, and the male lead is completely tormented. In the later parts of the story, the male lead will have all the reactions you'd expect to see, such as suicide attempts... But the ending is a happy one.
This book isn't exactly a doting romance or a gratifying romp, but it's certainly not a tragic tearjerker. If you enjoy stories that focus on the male lead's suffering, then I think you'll like this one. If you prefer sweet and fluffy stories, please check out my other book, "My Love for You, an Incurable Disease".]

'I really don't know what the right thing to do is.'


Seeing her cry made Ryan Linton's heart clench. He leaned over, gently pulled her into a hug, and brushed the hair from her face. He sighed and said helplessly, "If I don't look after you, who will? What's gotten into you? You're an adult, you can't just disappear like that. Do you have any idea how worried I was?"


Ashley Grant lowered her gaze, tears streaming down her face.


Ryan Linton held her and kissed her. When Ashley Grant tried to push him away, he simply held her hands down and kissed her anyway.


Ashley Grant pounded on his chest, the very picture of a pouting girlfriend. The sight made Ryan Linton's heart melt completely.


The corners of his lips curved up as he kissed her. He awkwardly wiped away her tears. Though his voice remained cool, his tone had softened considerably. "What's wrong? Did someone bully you? Why did you suddenly disappear and then try to break up with me, huh?"
