    This is a must-read! It's a bit yandere and crazy. The male lead is 12 years older than the female lead and was raised from childhood for revenge, but he falls in love with her (later the female lead also has an identity). The female lead is terrified of him and always runs away. When he gets caught, he's punished. He's the type who softens when the female lead cries. In short, I highly recommend it.
