    The female lead graduates, the male and female leads reunite, and the male lead uses cunning schemes to force himself on her on the eve of her engagement, then uses his son to rise in status. I read it twice and still thought it was quite good. It has a very fresh set of characters and plot, it's just niche and doesn't have a high readership. The male lead truly embodies the concept of forceful acquisition, first scheming to get the female lead pregnant, then methodically forcing her into marriage. After marriage, his possessiveness is very strong; he's usually quite calm, but easily becomes irritable and angry towards the man who almost became the female lead's fiancé. Among books with male-torture plots, this is my favorite. The female lead is tortured to the point that readers are amazed she hasn't been driven crazy by the male lead. It's truly a very good read. If you feel the male lead isn't tortured enough, you can read the last chapter, the author's summary of the plot. Overall, the author writes very sincerely and is very moving.

Eric, sitting next to her by the aisle, was clearly much more excited than Ruan Xiang after hearing the announcement.
