[An unconventional groveling romance: HE, but no getting back together]
Healthy relationships are important, sure, but twisted love is just too compelling.
You can insult the male lead, but don't you dare insult me afterward, okay?
This is just a little self-indulgent creation, so please forgive any lapses in logic.
/Brain storage area/ ԅ(¯﹃¯ԅ)
The male lead will not be changed. He will not be changed. He will not be changed!!! (But they don't exactly get back together, either.) Important things should be said three times. Please mind the warnings.
The male lead is a scumbag early on, but the female lead isn't pathetic. More torment for him than for her. Your blood pressure will be just fine, I swear I'm Chinese!
After her grandmother is murdered, Su Wu is sent to a mental hospital by Shen Jinghuai himself, to atone for her sins.
Five whole years of confinement and bullying. Her friend loses their life for her, and she's beaten so badly she miscarries and gives birth to a stillborn child.
When she returns to the Shen household, she finally gives up on the man who once saved her from a living hell. But he still refuses to let her go.
After being humiliated again and again, she finally stops running.
She destroys her own weakness with her own hands. If the world won't treat her kindly, then everyone who hurt her will pay!
Later, the truth comes to light. He kneels in the snow and begs for her forgiveness, but she doesn't even deign to look at him.
It's very beautiful, but I feel it's a bit underwhelming.
