   😊A ruthless heiress from the underworld coerces and seduces a down-on-his-luck young nobleman. The male lead is the school's aloof heartthrob, who both loves and hates the female lead's coercion; their relationship is a cycle of torment and redemption! Later, the male lead turns evil and tries to retaliate, but fails, and then tries to win her back. It's a very good story of love amidst a stormy sea of hatred. Not suitable for female-dominated societies!

    Reader note

    This story is about a male protagonist who is reborn and a female protagonist who transmigrates into a book. It has both sweet and angsty elements. The female protagonist initially dislikes the male protagonist, but she has strong moral values. She is a transmigrator, and the male protagonist has never hurt her or sought revenge. The male protagonist is an assassin. In his previous life, he married his wife due to family ties, but he had no feelings for her and caused her death. Only then did he realize that his wife was the one who saved his life when he was a child. He was filled with remorse and wanted to atone for his sins in this rebirth. But what he got was the female lead who transmigrated into the book, not his wife from his previous life. Later, the male lead gradually fell in love with her, and the female lead also gradually fell in love with him. She confessed that she was a transmigrator and not the original female lead. She hoped that the male lead would not project his feelings for the original owner onto her. If the feelings were not meant for her, she would not accept them. The male protagonist fell in love with her and also confessed that he was reborn. Later, she embarked on a path of protecting her wife, which mainly involved torturing the male protagonist. The female lead was drowning, and the male lead saved her and beat up the person who pushed her into the water. As a result, he was arrested, but in order not to expose his identity as an assassin and frighten the female lead, and not to be imprisoned for too long, he surrendered. The female lead hadn't been saved yet, but in order to stay with her at the hospital, he stabbed himself to make an excuse to stay there. The female lead is kidnapped by the original female lead's ex-boyfriend. The male lead saves her but is poisoned. The poison takes effect, causing a car accident. After the accident, he loses his memory. After regaining his memory, he doesn't want the female lead to see him die, so he pushes her away. There are many misunderstandings in the middle that are tormenting the male lead. The female lead truly loved him. Later, when she learned that he had been poisoned, she drew his blood and injected it into her own veins, willing to die with him. The male protagonist took a desperate measure, consuming a large amount of medicine and becoming a "medicine man." He then used his own blood to save the female protagonist, and both of them were cured of the poison. However, due to the excessive amount of medicine he consumed, he developed stomach problems and paranoid irritability, which led him to begin self-harming and abusing the female protagonist. He was obsessed with the idea that the female lead loved him so much that she would believe his sincerity even if they caught him cheating on her. He set up a deception to test her, but she left. He was heartbroken because she didn't believe him, which made him even more obsessed. The female lead, because she believed in him and because he tested her so much, felt desperate, which led to a love-hate relationship with the male lead. Gradually, his painful past as a hitman was revealed...
