I recommend "Love You Again". The novel tells the story of the male and female protagonists who have experienced rebirth. The only antidote is to forget. In order to continue the unbroken fate, the female protagonist decides to forget herself, and the male protagonist helps her to be reborn. The story was very heart-wrenching, and it met the requirements of a romance novel that sought cruelty. I hope you like my recommendation. Muah ~
