Sci-fi + Romance. A seemingly aloof but secretly passionate male lead meets a proud and arrogant female lead. The male lead gradually takes the initiative under the female lead's influence, leading to a mutual pursuit. Not a wish-fulfillment story, and not a romance-obsessed one. Comments and requests for updates are welcome. The first volume has more foreshadowing, while the second volume has even more romantic subplots.

Reader note
The male lead is truly sinister and insane, outwardly gentle and refined, but inwardly a scoundrel. From the very first chapter, he's constantly scheming to get the female lead to him. He's the kind of character who meticulously plans every step of the way, playing the fool while secretly plotting against her, and possessively controlling. There's a period when the female lead is close to her childhood sweetheart, leaving him only able to feel jealous without any official status – that's truly insidious. In short, this sinister and insane male lead secretly loves the female lead, uses others to force her to marry him, and later, he forcibly takes her away. In the early stages, he's been plotting to seduce her into loving him (the table of contents is practically a guide for his conquest). He does this because he meticulously plans to marry her under the guise of a political marriage to keep her firmly by his side. From his perspective, it's a secret love, but the female lead believes he's marrying her for political gain. However, in reality, he deeply loves her, is obsessively and insanely obsessed with her, and is meticulous, calculating, and cunning – a wolf in sheep's clothing. Judging from the synopsis, it seems to be a story of love and hate (I'm guessing, but it might not be). You can check out the table of contents and synopsis first. The author's writing is always very delicate; I recommend it.
