 No stupid BREAK UP *SPOILER*
They are the couple who never give up on their  relationship . one partner or both the partners stick like a glue no matter what happens. In some of shows they might say breakup but that would  be so minor or reasonable (due to situation) that “I”personally would not consider they breaking apart or kind of separation .   This list is based on my personal take on relationship (how I see real relationship works) ..  p.s. your recommendations are always welcome.

"Chinese Villainess genre drama

The "villainess genre" refers to stories where the main character, often a transmigrated soul or a character from a different world, finds herself in the role of the villainess in an novel, otome game or similar world. This can involve her either trying to change her doomed fate, becoming a hero, or embracing her villainous status and navigating the world with her new knowledge. 

Key aspects of the villainess genre:

Reincarnation/Transmigration:

The main character typically gains memories of a previous life or is reborn in a world where she's known as the villainess.

Knowledge of the Game/Story:

She has knowledge of the story's events, often from a previous life or through reincarnation, allowing her to plan her actions and avoid the bad ending.

Villainess Role:

She is initially defined as the villain, often with a negative reputation or a predetermined path to a bad ending.
