    The male lead raised the female lead from childhood. The female lead is a reincarnated character, or rather, transmigrated into a book.

    The female lead transmigrated into the book and, in order to return to the real world, had to physically and emotionally abuse the male lead to build up his hatred. However, she secretly helped him resolve many issues. I found the beginning quite angsty, though the author occasionally added sweet moments. Now it feels like a bittersweet love story... If the author saw this, would they be so moved that they'd release ten chapters in a row? Three chapters a day aren't enough! I'm so anxious waiting for the daily update!
