    This female protagonist is arrogant, domineering, ruthless, selfish to the extreme, and cold-hearted to the extreme. Perhaps in her own eyes, she isn't cold-hearted; she simply believes that doing so is perfectly justified. Raised by wolves from a young age, she has no understanding of human emotions, nor does she possess any concept of human feelings. She prioritizes her own interests above all else, deeply believing that the weak should sacrifice everything for the strong, that the strong prey on the weak, and that it's only right for the weak to be bullied. She will never help others. Also, are there any similar books? I'm really experiencing a reading slump after finishing this one.

But finally, a century later, she is freed from her shackles and can see with her own eyes the secluded paradise he described in his letter. Pear blossoms, a swing, a reclining chair—this small courtyard he built with his own hands is filled with old memories, memories of her experiences and feelings after waking up, memories she can only recount to him in detail before his grave.
