    This book! It's incredibly angsty for the male lead!!! First it's agonizing, then it's satisfying and cathartic! A classic "wife-chasing-after-the-cremation" story, a female-centric, satisfying novel. The female lead is relentlessly tortured at the beginning, then the male lead is relentlessly tortured later, leaving him filled with regret. The female lead is cool and free-spirited, the writing is concise and fast-paced, the torture is brutal, and it's incredibly satisfying. Hope you like it!
