I really, really want to recommend this book!! The male lead is an insanely possessive and twisted man!! It's one of my absolute favorite stories about forced marriage. The male lead is a crazy, powerful man who falls in love at first sight with a gentle female lead and wants her to redeem him. To teach him to love. To love him! (Because no one loves him, he has a very pitiful background). Then, he's been plotting for a long time! When they meet again, he wants to force himself on her!! To get the female lead pregnant before she gets engaged to her childhood sweetheart, the male lead injects her with a drug to trick her into getting pregnant, forcing her to break off her engagement with her childhood sweetheart and marry him because of the pregnancy, forcing himself on her. He uses the child to force her to marry him, and to force her to stay by his side! After the marriage, the male lead is even more like a mad dog. His methods are incredibly insane. The later parts of the story involve imprisoning the female lead, shooting her, sending her to prison, and forcing her to remarry after the divorce—all physically and emotionally abusive. The female lead is incredibly gentle yet resolute, otherwise she would go insane! She's also extremely jealous and possessive. A super captivating and angsty novel.

    Cry! Cry as hard as you can!! (Whispering) The second to last book was funny at the beginning, but just when you were about to give up, it got really despairing later on. I haven't had a chance to read the ending yet. The female lead is in a vegetative state, but don't panic, she wakes up very late. Even after she wakes up, there doesn't seem to be much plot development. The last book was quite sad and despairing. I think the author was having family issues at the time, so they only updated a chapter every few weeks, and I didn't make it to the end. I only found out it was finished today. I won't talk about the first few books; they're all infamous for their angst. I didn't finish the third book; the angst at the beginning made me numb, but then I somehow got used to it... Emmmm. Anyway, I heard the female lead also died at the end. I didn't pay much attention to the second book because it focused more on the female lead, but the beginning was also angsty, especially sad.

    It's angst, yeah, that feeling of saving the world only to have no one believe you and then having to fight amongst yourselves, that's the kind of angst.
