Please Recommend Angsty Stories With a Groveling Male Lead, Preferably With Him Suffering From the Start
The Male Lead Begs His Wife to Take Him Back
Please recommend books where the male lead acts like a jerk and the female lead puts him through the wringer. For some reason, seeing the male lead suffer makes me really happy 😂 Thanks! It's satisfying to mistreat his wife, but he'll have to chase her all the way to the crematorium to win her back.

Looking for books similar to *The Spoiled Brat Wants to Leave with the Baby, and the Big Boss Panics.* Especially domineering CEOs.
A Real “Chasing His Wife to the Crematorium” Story
I want a genuine groveling redemption story, with the redemption arc kept concise. The wife should suffer for no more than fifty chapters, followed by the man suffering. Not the kind where the male lead simply indulges in self-pity, stands in the rain, and pesters her endlessly. I want something substantive. Male-female romance only! Male-female romance!! Male-female romance!!!
Angst at First, But Not Too Much, Then the Heroine's Ex Chases Her in Vain
But both the male and female leads have to be intelligent! I really can't get into any books anymore.

The writing style is not bad, but it's the first time I've read a historical romance novel that I've seen such a humble and self-destructive female protagonist.
Level of emotional distress: ★★★★★ Writing skills: ★★★★★ The plot is detailed: ★★★ I highly recommend watching this! You definitely won't regret it! I've seen all your requests for updates and I'm frantically writing away! 😘😘😘
The "chasing-back-to-the-wife" scenario is a nightmare! However, I feel the female lead still loves the male lead too much; she didn't even pursue him much. The male lead's feelings changed too quickly; he was indifferent at first. The author needs to strengthen the romance. But it's very well written, and the angst was well-done… However, could you please not write so much about the male supporting character next time? I want to see more female supporting characters!
It's so good! I watched it all night, it was both heart-wrenching and sweet. But I hope the later parts go by quickly, otherwise I won't have the patience to keep watching.
Highly recommend this! This is what you call a truly angsty story! 😢😢
The author uses a smooth and natural style to delicately depict a simple and affectionate girl's unrequited love, her heart's desire, and her frantic pursuit of love... Until a man's love, initially drifting, then pausing, then tender, finally culminates in a journey along the path of the girl's affection. No matter what kind of man a girl is, her love is never shallow! This is a wonderful story about love! Five stars!
Although some plot points felt a bit forced, the overall writing style and pacing were quite good.
It's beautiful; seemingly ordinary yet turbulent and heart-wrenching.
Overall, it's not bad, but some plot points are a bit flawed. The title of "First Talented Woman" doesn't quite live up to her name. The male lead didn't suffer much. Many people probably don't like the female lead's personality, which might explain the low number of comments.
Sure! The plot doesn't drag.
