Synopsis

[Complete novel] A timid heroine with plenty of schemes (though none of them are any use) | I’ll just sit back and watch you perform (everything my wife does is adorable), a dangerously obsessive hero

Theatrical heroine | Winning her back | Coercion | Eight-year age gap

Wanyi is disobedient.

Feng Huanjing wants to lock her up until she learns to behave.

But every time he locks her up, Wanyi cries, and every time she cries, Feng Huanjing’s heart softens.

After this happens two or three times, his friend calls to mock him: “You lock her up during the day and carry her out at night. Anyone who didn’t know better would think you were dropping off and picking up your daughter from kindergarten.”

Feng Huanjing hardens his heart and pulls the sweet, soft sleeper out of bed. “Marry me!”

Less than six months after their wedding, Wanyi accidentally falls from a cruise ship.

Her body is never found.

Feng Huanjing appears refined, but he’s a madman at heart.

Everyone praises his restraint, self-control, and propriety. Only Wanyi is being driven to the brink by his relentless pursuit.

He treats her casually, forces her, and humiliates her.

In the end, he goes so far as to bind her to him through marriage.

Faking her death is Wanyi’s final gamble.

She succeeds.

Half a year later, after failing to find a suitable place to live, she unexpectedly snags a lovely, affordable studio apartment.

On the night she moves in, she falls asleep peacefully, but a shadow silently looms over her.

“Good evening, Miss Mermaid?”

Wanyi wakes with a start.

Before her eyes is an old, yellowed photograph of her performing at an aquarium, her long mermaid tail swaying...

I stumbled upon this book and found it quite interesting because I like the concept of forced love and imprisonment. I binged it in a day and a night; it's really good, truly excellent. I love the female lead's personality. The author's character development is truly superb; you can easily empathize with them. I'm looking forward to the later plot about faking her death and escaping.

The story of "Forced Marriage and Abduction," where the protagonist escapes while the other pursues her, is probably the fastest female lead to escape the "black room" (a euphemism for being locked up) on the entire internet. The characters are vivid and well-developed.

It's really good. One of the few female leads in "Forced Love" who's intelligent; she'll coax you when things are going well, and scold you when things are fine, but she never gives up her freedom. She's flexible and adaptable. 💕💕💕💕💕💕

I haven't read such a good book in ages!! Why did I have to come across it before it was finished?! I really want to read it! I love the plot and the characters, so let these two couples just keep going like this!

It's great! I'm not very good at writing book reviews 🤦 I rarely read modern novels, but I think this one by Shizi is really good. It's different from traditional domineering CEO novels; the male lead is sharp-tongued and domineering, but his kindness to the female lead is genuine. The female lead is also different from the traditional innocent heroine; she's not that type.

Wow, it's really good! I think the male and female leads are both well-developed and believable. I also feel a strong connection to their actions from different perspectives; it's like they're real people.

It's good, but it's too heart-wrenching. I hope the author will make the male lead and Bo Yunting suffer even more in the later episodes, especially Bo Yunting. He's too much of a womanizer and doesn't deserve Chu Huai's love. Some of his actions made me feel physically uncomfortable. Hmm... I still don't want him and Chu Huai to have a happy ending [smirk]. Author, please give Chu Huai and Wan Yi a happy ending 😢 Give Feng and Bo a lot of heartbreak!!!

Nice. The characters the author created are very compelling, and the character designs are excellent. I really love the female lead, she's so adorable! The complex relationships, such as the one between the female lead and her second brother, and the eldest brother's feelings for her, are also well-described, clear, and comfortable to read.

I highly recommend everyone to read it. It has a very unique style. The relationship between Wan Yi and her second brother, as well as their childhood experiences, made me very emotional, and I couldn't control my tears several times. It's really well written, and I'm looking forward to the later episodes that will give the male lead a little bit of heartbreak.
