Description
In Xia Shu’an’s previous life, he was forcibly taken and plundered by that man. It was only before he died in a car accident that he realized Shen Boyan liked him so much that he was willing to trade his life for himself. Xia Shu’an:? If you like me, why don’t you say it? Xia Shu’an, who thought this life was over, opened his eyes and found that he was back in the time when the Xia family had just gone bankrupt—just before Shen Boyan had forcibly detained him and began their chaotic relationship. Xia Shu’an: …I’m tired; I just want to lie down. Shen Boyan knew that Xia Shu’an was the proud son of heaven. If he took advantage of the chaos to plunder the burning house, he would only be loathed by the other party, and yet: “Can you loosen your grip? You’re squeezing me so much that it hurts. And the smell of cigarettes on your body-l don’t like it.” After Shen Boyan and Xia Shu’an got together, when he goes out, Xia Shu’an will hug him; when he returns home, he will get a kiss. Even when he came home from work late at night, the beautiful young man lying under the quilt would stick to his face and say with a hazy sleepiness, “Husband has worked hard; give me a hug.” Shen Boyan was puzzled and didn’t understand. He turned his head and saw Xia Shu’an looking at him in horror: “Are you still not satisfied with this treatment??? Don’t push your luck!” Shen Boyan: … Satisfied, I am very satisfied.

My Thoughts on The Sick Beauty Gave Up Struggling
"The Sick Beauty Gave Up Struggling" is a danmei novel I found myself deeply conflicted about, even after finishing it. It's a story with a lot of potential, exploring a complex and often unhealthy relationship dynamic, but it doesn't always stick the landing.
First Impressions
Going in, I was intrigued by the premise: a reborn MC determined to navigate his relationship with a possessive ML differently than in his previous life. The initial chapters hooked me with the sardonic MC and the glimpses of the ML's controlling tendencies. I was ready for some serious angst and character growth.
What Works Well
The character growth, especially that of the ML, is a definite highlight. He begins as a classic obsessive character, but the story dedicates time to showing his efforts to change and understand healthy relationship dynamics. I appreciated that the author attempted to explore the roots of his behavior and didn't simply excuse it. The MC's pragmatism and determination to seize control where he can is also compelling. He's not a pushover; instead, he proactively tries to "train" the ML into being a better partner. Also, the quick resolution of misunderstandings through communication was a relief. It's refreshing to see a story where the characters actually talk to each other.
Areas of Concern
However, I also found myself questioning the MC's feelings. It's not always clear how deeply he cares for the ML, and at times, their relationship felt more like a business transaction than a genuine connection. I also noticed that some plot points and villainous characters are introduced but never fully resolved, leaving the story feeling somewhat incomplete. I agree with some readers that the ending felt a little unfulfilling. While the ML demonstrates significant growth, it's hard to shake the feeling that the relationship remains somewhat pitiful, with the MC never fully reciprocating the ML's feelings.

Final Verdict
Overall, I'd give "The Sick Beauty Gave Up Struggling" a 3.5/5. It's a story with interesting themes and character development, but the execution is uneven. If you're looking for a fluffy, straightforward romance, this isn't it. But if you're willing to delve into a messy, complicated relationship with flawed characters and a bittersweet tone, you might find something to appreciate here. Just be prepared for some unresolved plot threads and a romance that never quite reaches a truly satisfying resolution.
