Description
I believed that my husband was gradually opening his heart, even though our marriage was the result of my unrequited love. “So, who is the father of the child in your womb?” I was immediately stunned by this sudden question. As soon as I announced my pregnancy, his response struck me. “Why, why would you ask that? It’s your child after all…” “Hyacinth. I could not have embraced you.” “…..” “Let’s get divorced after you give birth. This is the maximum leniency I can show, not exposing your infidelity.” I am honest with him. That night, we were clearly together. I gazed at him bewildered, but his impassive face was as calm as an icy wall. “…Why did you marry me?” “Did I want to?” I had no choice but to accept it. The truth that all my previous struggles were pointless, and the reality that my efforts had no impact on him whatsoever. I was the only one clinging to a relationship as fragile as a sandcastle.

My Thoughts on A Reversal of Unrequited Love
"A Reversal of Unrequited Love" is a novel that certainly stirred up a lot of emotions in me, and it seems like many other readers felt the same way. Diving into this story of love, loss, and second chances was quite the rollercoaster.
First Impressions
Initially, I was intrigued by the premise: a reversal where the male lead experiences the consequences of his actions in a past life. The tags "adult," "fantasy," "psychological," and "tragedy" definitely set the stage for a heavy read, and I braced myself for some serious angst.
What Works Well
One of the strongest aspects of the novel is the male lead's suffering and eventual groveling. The story flips the script by giving us his perspective as he grapples with the pain he inflicted on the female lead in their first life. I found this particularly compelling, as it's not often we see such a deep dive into the male lead's remorse in these types of stories. The exploration of trauma and the slow, painstaking process of redemption were also well-executed. Seeing both characters grow and confront their flaws made the story feel more meaningful. The side stories, particularly the aide's perspective of the male lead's despair after the female lead's death, were hauntingly beautiful and added another layer of depth to his character.
Areas of Concern
While I appreciated the male lead's journey, I can understand why some readers struggled with the idea of his redemption. The first life was undeniably brutal, and it's difficult to completely forgive the pain he caused. Some also felt the female lead was naive or even selfish in forcing the marriage, although others argued that her actions were understandable given her upbringing and the societal norms of the time.

Final Verdict
Overall, "A Reversal of Unrequited Love" is a complex and emotionally charged novel. While it has flaws, the exploration of regret, redemption, and the characters' personal growth makes it a worthwhile read. The novel earns a solid 3.5 out of 5 stars from me. Be prepared for a heavy dose of angst and some potentially triggering content, but if you're looking for a story that will make you feel, this might be the one for you.
