    Tomato is the most satisfying! The most cathartic! A story where the male lead and male supporting character are divorced! The female lead doesn't waste words; a divorce announcement keeps the news trending for three days! The opening chapter is agonizing for the female lead. The male lead hasn't touched the female lead in a year of marriage, then turns off his phone to watch a scheming woman's performance. The female lead is in a car accident, immediately announces the divorce, and then disappears without a trace. The male lead is heartbroken! A truly agonizing experience!
