   The male lead forces himself on the female lead, who is unwilling from the start, but has no choice due to the vast difference in their social status. The male lead is truly despicable!! But the female lead is genuinely quiet and doesn't make a fuss. See the synopsis for details. If you don't like this type of male lead, then skip it. The author also warns against a strong male lead and weak female lead; the female lead won't always be weak, but she also can't just indiscriminately kill everyone. Personally, I found it really addictive.

    "Mr. Lu... He registered his marriage three years ago, and his legal wife has always been Ms. Xia Yao." The staff member answered cautiously, turning the screen towards Wen Yining. Wen Yining looked at the marriage registration record on the monitor, which clearly showed Lu Yuanshen and Xia Yao's marriage registration date: March 14, 2022. Her body couldn't help but tremble slightly. March 14th. It was only seven days after her "wedding" with Lu Yuanshen. How ironic! At this moment, although Wen Yining had been mentally prepared, knowing these truths still felt like being stabbed in the chest; even breathing was painful. "I understand, thank you for informing me." Wen Yining forced a smile and turned to leave the Civil Affairs Bureau. Standing outside the Civil Affairs Bureau, the sunlight was dazzling. She looked at the bright red "marriage certificate" in her hand. Three years of marriage, and she never imagined that she had been living in a lie carefully woven by Lu Yuanshen all along. All those scenes of deep affection, all that tenderness that had once captivated her, were all fake.
