    Reader note

    I really, really want to recommend this angst-filled novel!! The male lead is a crazy, possessive, and twisted man!! He's a crazy, powerful guy who falls in love at first sight with the gentle female lead and wants her to redeem him. To teach him to love. To love him! (Because no one loves him, he has a very pitiful background [crying][crying]). Before marriage, the male lead is a master of force and control, first scheming to get the female lead pregnant, then methodically forcing her into marriage because of the pregnancy. After marriage, his possessiveness is really strong. He's usually quite calm, but he easily becomes irritable and violent towards the man who almost became the female lead's fiancé. After marriage, the male lead is even more like a mad dog. His methods are incredibly insane. Later on, he imprisons the female lead, shoots her, sends her to prison, forces her to remarry after the divorce, and so on, causing physical and emotional torture. Fortunately, the female lead is very gentle and resolute, otherwise she would have gone crazy long ago. But clearly, the female lead is the male lead's only salvation and his white moonlight. He clearly loved her so much, how could he treat her like this? It's so heartbreaking. I cried several times; I think it's an incredibly moving and tragic story.
