Description
Four years ago, Mu Xueyi and Zhou Zhenyue broke up. Four years later, a news story rocked the business world: the CEO of the Zhou family, unable to let go of her past love, jumped off a building and committed su*cide. Mu Xueyi had always believed that she didn’t like Zhou Zhenyue. The Zhou and Mu families were rival business competitors who couldn’t stand each other. When she initially got close to Zhou Zhenyue, it was only because her father forced her to go undercover, assisting the Mu family in stealing business secrets from the Zhou family. Her father had obtained the documents, and naturally, her connection with Zhou Zhenyue came to an end. However… It wasn’t until Zhou Zhenyue jumped off the building for her that she suddenly realized why she had been so devastated even after their breakup. It turned out that she had long fallen in love with Zhou Zhenyue. So, without hesitation, Mu Xueyi deliberately crashed into Zhou Zhenyue’s tombstone, determined to join her in death. Originally, she had planned to utter the words “I love you,” which she had never said before, in the underworld alongside Zhou Zhenyue. However, to her astonishment, as she closed her eyes and opened them again, She was reborn one year earlier. Specifically—the third year since their breakup.

My Thoughts on Unyielding Time
"Unyielding Time" is a gripping dive into the complexities of love, betrayal, and redemption, set against a backdrop of family conflict and high-stakes business dealings. While the description might lead you to expect a straightforward wife-chasing crematorium story, I found it to be much more nuanced and character-driven than that.
First Impressions
I was immediately drawn into the intense emotional landscape of the novel. The premise of a second chance, with Mu Xueyi returning to make amends for past mistakes, is compelling. The initial chapters hooked me with their blend of longing and regret, and I was eager to see how the relationship between her and Zhou Zhenyue would evolve.
What Works Well
The character development is a major strength of this novel. Mu Xueyi's journey is particularly well-crafted. She doesn't magically transform into a perfect person after her rebirth; instead, she grapples with lingering insecurities and defense mechanisms. This makes her feel incredibly human and relatable. Zhou Zhenyue is also a compelling character, and her guardedness and slow journey to forgiveness felt entirely justified. I also appreciated the depth given to some of the side characters. The author doesn't shy away from exploring the darker aspects of human nature, showcasing selfishness and obsession in a way that's both captivating and disturbing. The plot kept me guessing, with unexpected twists and turns that elevated it beyond a simple romance.
Areas of Concern
One aspect that felt somewhat underdeveloped was the significance of the rebirth itself. While the story didn't need to delve into the mechanics of it, I felt that it could have been explored more in terms of its impact on Mu Xueyi's psyche. The trauma of her previous life and the weight of her past actions could have been woven more deeply into her internal struggles.

Final Verdict
Overall, I found "Unyielding Time" to be a compelling and emotionally resonant read. It's a story that explores the complexities of relationships, the power of forgiveness, and the long road to self-discovery. While it has some minor flaws, the strengths of the character development and plot far outweigh them. I would recommend this novel to anyone who enjoys dramatic, character-driven stories with a touch of fantasy and a strong focus on yuri romance. I'm giving it a solid 4 out of 5 stars.
