   Unlike traditional forced-love stories where the female lead eventually falls in love with the male lead, this book features male leads with memories of past lives, especially the male lead, who is essentially a repeat student. He manipulates the female lead from an omniscient perspective, forcibly loving her and taking the "she tries to escape, he chases her relentlessly" trope to its extreme. The female lead genuinely never falls in love with the male lead, and the story focuses solely on the romance between the main characters; there's no rivalry between the female leads. The male lead's grandmother, mother, and sister all genuinely like and care for the female lead.
