    The first book is short, concise, and unconventional, without any deep emotional entanglements or ex-girlfriend "white moonlight" themes. The male lead's gentle yet deadly attacks leave the female lead suffering terribly. The second book is a classic, long, angsty novel. The male lead relentlessly torments the female lead to force her to donate a kidney, but ultimately experiences a dramatic reversal of fortune in his pursuit. The male lead's suffering is so intense that readers feel deeply sorry for him. The third book is quite old-fashioned, featuring a male lead who uses force to seize a woman, finding sweetness amidst the bitterness.
