The male lead directly sealed the female lead's spiritual power, locked her in the room, and wouldn't let her out. He was always clinging to her. He would get jealous and go crazy if anyone else even glanced at her or touched her! ② The male lead has an extremely strong possessive desire. He's a real mad dog. He can't stand anyone else looking at the female lead. Anyone who dares to touch or bully her will suffer greatly. He's incredibly bad, has no morals, and does whatever he wants. But he truly dotes on the female lead. She can hit or scold him as she pleases. Later, he's tamed and becomes obedient. ｡:.ﾟヽ(*´∀`)ﾉﾟ.:｡ [Already hooked][Already hooked][Heart]
