   Both of these are incredibly good, and both involve tormenting the male lead. The first is a short story where the male lead is extremely subservient. After the female lead dies, he tortures himself until he's covered in wounds, eventually committing suicide at her grave. He's reborn, and the two resolve their misunderstandings, but the male lead is terrified and constantly begs for punishment, kneels, and beats himself. The second book is a novel where the male lead is the epitome of subservience. I don't want to spoil it, but it's super good.

    Reader note

    The first book: The male lead is the Golden Crow Goddess, and the female lead is the Demon Lord. The beginning is incredibly angsty for the male lead; he has his golden core removed, his essence extracted, and he becomes pregnant. His closest relatives are also blinded (while he's saving them). In short, the male lead sacrifices a lot for the female lead in the early stages. Later, misunderstandings are resolved, and the male lead instantly becomes the most beloved character. The logic is very strong. The second book: It's by the same author as the first book and is also quite good, but I think the second one is a bit more angsty. However, both books have good writing. The third book: It's a tragic ending. I think the logic in the later books isn't as strong as the first two, so I recommend the first two more.

    There's a reason the first book got such a high score; it's heart-wrenching from beginning to end. The male lead is truly tragic. He always thought he was responsible for the female lead's death, and he resurrected everyone by reshaping time and space, only to find out the female lead had memories of her past life. It's a complete and utter tragedy. The second book, I don't know why it didn't get a high score, but it really appealed to my taste.
