   The first book is about the male protagonist seeking revenge, while the female protagonist is abused by both the male protagonist and the second male lead. I was genuinely angry at the male protagonist and the second male lead while reading it. In the second book, the female protagonist suffers mental torment and even goes blind from crying. She lives out her remaining years in a villa. It's hard to judge the male protagonist; he provided the female protagonist with a comfortable life, but he also harmed her.
