    This is a angst-filled novel, with the second male lead taking over (according to the synopsis). The male lead really hurt the female lead in the beginning! Damn, right now the story has progressed to the point where the male lead imprisons the female lead, uses her brother to blackmail her, and is even planning to pursue her, but the female lead hates him terribly. I really hope the second male lead appears soon to rescue her! (The downside is that the author updates very slowly. If you think it's good, please urge the author to update more!
