    I'm really curious how the first book passed the censorship. Did the censors grab it by the neck and tell it to hurry up and pass? It's so incredibly good! It's a little angsty, but it's true love. I've already read the first book four times. The second book, Ke, is really, really good. All the characters have their own personalities. It's so incredibly good!

    The first book features a protagonist whose physical constitution is sealed, and he is severely abused by the female lead. The second book has the protagonist's reincarnation memories sealed, and he is subjected to torment and love by his yandere, darkened lover from his past life; the most pathological character is the junior sister [smirk]. The third book also features a protagonist whose memories and cultivation are sealed; the male lead is taken in as a disciple by the female lead. In his past life, the male lead was the female lead's master; in this life, the female lead is the male lead's master. To clarify, the female lead is very yandere. The fourth book has the male lead's memories sealed; after losing his memories, he is forcibly loved by various yandere female leads he previously wronged.
