   Both of these books feature detailed plots at the beginning and a tighter pace later on! Excellent writing, stark contrasts, and angst-filled stories—highly recommended! 💛💛💛💛💛 (The first one is only 30,000 words long and is already finished!!! It tells the story of one woman and three men; the writing is quite good, and the content isn't clichéd. Highly recommended! 💛) (The second one is also finished. The male lead was born to a mistress, and after his mother's death, he returned to his biological father's house but was disliked, becoming ruthless and developing a dark personality. He's also a leader in some underground organization. The female lead was abused at home from a young age and is timid and weak. The male lead bullied her in school, and after a series of events, he changed his identity and married her. He went from liking her to loving her, but she never forgave him and eventually suffered a mental breakdown. I won't go into the ending... It's far too complicated, but the fates of the supporting characters are all explained. You can read it yourself...)

The female lead is a fallen heiress who was ruined by the male lead's family (bankruptcy, her parents died, her brother became a vegetable, and they were left with a mountain of debt). She became the male lead's kept woman, living in a cage he created for her. However, she still wanted revenge and to regain her freedom, so the male lead's control over her became increasingly unrestrained. He even went so far as to lie to her, promising to set her free, just to test if she really wanted to leave him. After finding out, he went insane again 😏 There's also a second male lead, who is just as rich and gentle as the male lead. The female lead has already developed feelings for him but has been afraid to let him discover that she's a kept woman. But now he has found out!! She doesn't dare tell him her story, and he's now furious and has started to torment her, though not as cruelly as the male lead.
