    No melodramatic catfights, just the helplessness and forbearance born from the cruel twists of fate. Those unspoken confessions, those unfulfilled regrets, pierce the heart like a fine needle, their aftereffects so strong that even late at night, thinking about them brings tears to the eyes.

    This book is incredibly angsty. The female lead is framed by a man and suffers a miscarriage. Furthermore, the male lead kills her mother and disposes of her ashes. Her child is also prematurely delivered. She finds redemption in the second male lead, but he too is killed by the male lead. Ultimately, she becomes corrupted and turns to the dark side. It's a very tragic story, with the male lead suffering the most later. It's a story of broken relationships that can't be mended. However, it has a satisfying ending.
