   This book! It features kneeling punishment, scalded fingers, broken ankles (though he physically does it, he doesn't actually break them!), And being locked in a dark room—the female lead is frequently made to cry by these punishments! The male lead is a top-tier, insane, and powerful figure, his hands stained with blood, and he makes the female lead cry right from the start! He's ruthless and merciless in his punishments! In the early stages, the female lead suffers physically and emotionally, crying and begging him not to break her ankles (he does physically hurt her, but he doesn't really use force!). Later, he's incredibly tender and loving! It's super sweet!! From chapter 57 onwards, it's all about tenderness, coaxing, kisses, and tears—he still punishes and abuses her sometimes! But afterwards, the male lead will comfort her! Finally, the insane male lead experiences a "wife-chasing" climax, and he suffers a lot as well.

   These two books really torture the female lead. 1. The female lead tells the male lead she's dying, but the female supporting character frames her, saying she's just faking illness.

The female lead is constantly being beaten; you think things will get sweet after this torture, but then it starts to get heartbreaking again. It's really agonizing.
