[Two male leads + wealthy CEO + mutually faithful + coercive possession + amnesia + melodrama + rekindled love]
After four years of marriage, Song Chenwen thought he and Gu Yunsheng shared a deep and devoted love.
He had no idea that from the very beginning, their marriage had been nothing more than a carefully calculated ploy by Gu Yunsheng.
Faced with proof of Gu Yunsheng's infidelity, Song Chenwen asked him for a divorce.
“Divorce?”
“Don't even think about it.”
Gu Yunsheng tore up the divorce papers and locked Song Chenwen in their home.
He forbade him from leaving, and from even mentioning the word divorce.
“Gu Yunsheng, you won't agree to a divorce, so don't tell me you're going to laughably claim you've fallen in love with me?”
“Wipe that disgusting look off your face. Stop pretending to be so deeply in love.”
“Either let me go, or get lost.”
Gu Yunsheng pretended that he loved Song Chenwen.
He kept up the act for four years before realizing that his feelings weren't pretend. They were real.
Why include flashbacks? The first few chapters were excellent, so why add unnecessary details? Wouldn't it have been better to just start from the point where the protagonist discovers he's being used by the other protagonist? Wouldn't that have been better? Why include flashbacks? What's the reason for this?
The first few sections were very engaging, but I think the later flashbacks were unnecessary and actually made the story less interesting.
