She loved him with everything she had-her time, her heart, her dignity. But the male lead never loved her back. In the end, she lost her family, her future, and her life... all because of that love. But fate gave her a second chance. Now back in her second year of college, she's done chasing love. No more following him around campus. No more gifts, no more tears. This time, she chooses herself. When classmates mock her for no longer loving the male lead, she doesn't hide-she stands on stage at a college event and apologizes for everything: her past behavior, her mistakes, and the chaos she caused. The next day, her apology video spreads across campus-and the girl once known as the foolish villainess starts to rewrite her story. She's not here to win hearts anymore. She's here to become someone worth being proud of. Let me know if you want a dramatic one-liner tagline too, like: "She chased love once. This time, she'll chase her future." or "From villainess to healer-her story has just begun."

Title: "Little Lionheart" Synopsis: Feared by all and loved by none, mafia boss Li Zhenhua ruled the city's underworld with an iron fist. But everything changes when his 5-year-old son, Li Rui, suddenly enters his life-wide-eyed, full of questions, and clutching a stuffed lion he calls Xiao Shi (小狮, "Little Lion"). Zhenhua has no idea how to be a father. He knows how to silence enemies, not nightmares. How to handle guns, not tie shoelaces. But Rui doesn't care about his father's crimes-he just wants bedtime stories, sweet buns, and cuddles. As danger brews on the horizon, Zhenhua must protect his son not just from enemies, but from the darkness inside his own heart. And maybe... just maybe, the little boy will teach the cold-blooded mafia king how to love again. --- Scene Snippet - Father and Son Moment: Li Rui: "Bàba, why do you always wear black?" Li Zhenhua (frowning slightly): "Because it hides the mess." Li Rui: "Then I'll wear black too. So I can hide when I spill soy milk." Zhenhua stares at him for a second. Then, for the first time in years, he laughs-a soft, startled sound he doesn't recognize as his own. ---
