Later on, there's a dramatic "wife-chasing-after-the-cremation" scene where the male lead is incredibly humble and the female lead is incredibly clear-headed, treating the male lead like a dog!

First, he is not the biological child of the Duke's family; second, he is not human. He never even sleeps with his armored hands protecting him, which become bizarre and dangerous black claws when out of control. He dares not approach anyone, until he gains a soft and delicate little wife. His little wife is not afraid of his ugly claws and teeth, and will gently pat his tail, keeping him company through the unbearable nights of the full moon.

    The more I read this book, the more addictive it became. Lately, the male lead has been portrayed as a manipulative, anxious, insecure, and manipulative guy with low self-esteem. The female lead, on the other hand, is very clear-headed and won't give up on what she wants for trivial matters. She's composed and responsible in this relationship, which is why she didn't easily get together with him. At first, she only saw it as a task, but later she slowly fell in love.

    [Drooling][Laughing][Drooling][Laughing] I absolutely adore this adorable little dog! The male lead is a snake (with an alias) that the female lead picked up and took home. The female lead keeps the snake as a pet, while the male lead treats the female lead like his wife. 🤣 The male lead is such a drama queen, always imagining things. In the early episodes, he sneaks out, falls into a lake, and becomes stupid, only remembering his wife. After losing his memory, he only dares to secretly ask for his wife's kisses and sleep in her bed. He regains his memory in chapter 23, and then he's all lovey-dovey, constantly vying for her affections and demanding recognition. His heart flies away whenever his wife appears. ⸜(* ॑꒳ˆ * )⋆*❤︎ During his heat cycle, he hangs on a tree to endure it, transforms into a black snake, and uses his tail to steal clothes from his wife. He even compares whose tail is smoother and more tactile with the kitten the female lead adopted. By the way, was he some kind of intelligent creature before he lost his memory? 😂😂
