    Volume 3 is extremely angsty. This book truly only tortures the male lead; there's no "chasing after the husband" scenario. There's also no female rivalry. It's a collection of short stories about female supremacy and male-torture, featuring a 1vN dynamic. The female lead is the dominant one, and the male lead is completely virgin (both physically and mentally pure). Volume 1 is 50% angsty for the male lead. The female lead is a Grand Marshal, a cold and charming figure. She only cares about her responsibilities; romantic love is insignificant to her. She and the male lead are childhood sweethearts, but she only sees him as a younger brother. The male lead has secretly loved her for years, from falling in love at first sight to silently accompanying her for over a decade. Everyone in the capital knows he loves her. Unfortunately, the female lead marries the third male lead, but the male lead doesn't give up, pursuing her relentlessly to the border without any official status. They spend a sweet time together, which helps the female lead realize her own feelings; she discovers she loves the male lead and wants to marry him as a concubine. However, the male lead is captured by enemy forces, and the female lead kills him with her own hands on the battlefield. Then comes the second male lead, who looks remarkably like the male lead. He's secretly in love with the female lead for years and eagerly offers to be her substitute. The second volume focuses heavily on the female lead's career; she's a playboy, a free spirit who lives life on the edge, wiping out the male supporting character's entire family, yet he remains hopelessly in love. The most heart-wrenching part for the male lead is the third volume. The female lead is the leader of the righteous path, the head of the Immortal Alliance—a righteous figure turned evil. She and the fourth male lead are childhood sweethearts with a deep bond. The male lead has secretly loved her for years, feeling inferior yet unable to resist getting closer, offering everything like a moth drawn to a flame, but she still doesn't reciprocate his feelings. The third male lead, disguised as the fourth, is a manipulative woman. He frames the male lead, causing the female lead to slap him, and even tries to kill him for him. The male lead, heartbroken, throws himself into the female lead's sword, only to be saved. Later, the third male lead dies, and the female lead marries the male lead out of responsibility. After marriage, the male lead becomes extremely clingy, following her everywhere, making her feel insecure. The female lead sleeps with a man sent by her subordinate and brings him home. The male lead cries and throws a tantrum, but the female lead comforts him. Later, the female lead favors that man, and the male lead tries to commit suicide again. The ending is a happy one. The female lead in the fourth volume is greedy, lustful, and loves to live off men. This volume is mainly for comedy. The female lead has no feelings for men and pretends to be an honest person every day, but both the male lead and the male supporting character love her very much and are eager to be with her.

    It's so angsty, it'll break your heart! The beginning is that the protagonist (uke) is framed by the antagonist's (seme's) unrequited love interest and imprisoned for five years. In prison, he suffers various forms of mental and physical torture, resulting in disfigurement, deafness, and a body riddled with injuries that destroy his will. After his release, he's captured by the antagonist and can't escape. Because he disobeys, the antagonist kneels on broken glass and donates his bone marrow to his business partner without anesthesia. Later, the protagonist escapes but encounters a crazy second male lead, who captures him and forces him to hide under the bed and release snakes at the antagonist. The antagonist is cold-blooded and cruel, forbidding the protagonist from having any contact with others, and secretly kills everyone around him… There's an amnesia trope, a "wife-chasing-after-the-cremation" scenario… Anyway, it's very melodramatic and angsty.

"So don't touch her, or don't blame me for turning against you, we're no longer brothers." This was clearly an admission that he wanted to reconcile with that woman. "Even if you want to get back together with her, what about her? All she wants is your current benefits. Brother Ci, don't be foolish, turn back before it's too late!" "Have you forgotten how disgusted she was with you at your class reunion, when she didn't know who you were?" "What you should be doing today is humiliating her when she comes begging!" "Not giving her whatever she wants!" "Even if you're soft-hearted, just watch coldly.
