Can you recommend a novel published in 2004? The protagonist of the story performed well at first, but he sacrificed himself for the gang he belonged to. After that, he was reborn and began a new journey.

I recommend the ancient romance novel, General, Be Kind. As soon as the female protagonist transmigrated, she met the little male protagonist at the human trafficker's place and said,"Let's be together forever," as if she was coaxing a child. The male protagonist chased the female protagonist, lied about his age, and became the female protagonist's "big brother." He went wherever the female protagonist went, but in fact, he lured her to go wherever he wanted her to go. This made the female protagonist go to the male protagonist's house step by step. The female protagonist thought that she was escaping from the marriage, but it turned into sending her off. The escape along the way turned into sweet dates. This was the story of a black-bellied male protagonist wooing his wife. The male protagonist meticulously weaved a completely flawless net for the female protagonist just to firmly entrap her. I hope you like this novel. Muah ~
