[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".]

What she'd just said was only a fraction of the injustices Annabelle Linton had endured. Thinking about all the wrongs Annabelle had suffered over the years, her heart ached so much it felt like it would shatter.


The servants nearby, Roxanne Jennings, and the rest of the Grant Family stared at Ashley Grant in disbelief.


Vivian Yates stood frozen, taking one slap after another from Ashley Grant, unable to fight back.


Her hands clenched into fists, her eyes flashing with an icy glint.


'She couldn't deny what Ashley Grant was saying, but she couldn't admit to it either.'


'Denying it would look like she was shirking responsibility, but admitting it was absolutely out of the question.'


Vivian Yates collapsed to the ground, sobbing uncontrollably. "I don't know... I really didn't know things would turn out like this..."
