    ⚠️High-quality angst novel! The male lead is insane. The female lead is also quite tragic, but she didn't have her kidney removed. In the early stages, the male lead wants to kill the female lead to avenge his mother, and his methods are extremely ruthless. Therefore, the female lead hates him later, gets pregnant with his child but doesn't want it, and fails to abort several times. Later, the male lead becomes obsessed with the female lead, constantly saying he misses her and wants to marry her, which the female lead always refuses. Then the male lead forcibly takes her, becoming a mistress for love. The male supporting character is also quite insane, liking his stepmother. This is one of my favorite long-awaited reunion angst novels. The writing style and character settings are very novel; I've been a bookworm for years and haven't read anything like it. The author's writing is good. So I'm very engrossed now. Just by looking at the table of contents, you can tell that the male lead is a crazy CEO with a compulsive love. The writing style is mainly "madman + revenge forced love + slightly immoral + angst". Fu Yu said that she stole his mother's heart and stood on the wronged spirit of her mother's death, and didn't deserve to live. He was the boy she fell in love with at first sight. She was his white moonlight in his youth. He personally stabbed her in the body, demanding her life in return. He thought killing her was their fate. But eight years later, destiny brought them together again. Sob sob sob, it's so heartbreaking.
