   I've rewatched this so many times. ① The male lead always liked the female lead, but later he thought she liked his cousin and was using him as a substitute, so he started to neglect her, and then the torment began. He found a girlfriend, but his parents disapproved, so he went against his family and broke up with them for some reason. The two of them got married and then divorced. Actually, it was all a scheme orchestrated by the female lead. She was seeking revenge. The other woman was also arranged by the female lead. The female lead sent the male lead's father to jail, and then the torment of the male lead began. It was incredibly torturous. ② It's similar to the above. The male lead also thought the female lead liked his cousin, but in fact, the female lead's feelings for his cousin were only familial. The female lead thought the male lead didn't love her and loved the second female lead. After the marriage, the male lead stayed abroad for three years. The female lead developed depression. The male lead thought the other woman was calling him to ask for a divorce, so he deliberately didn't answer. When he didn't answer, the female lead thought he wanted a divorce. After the male lead returned, the female lead brought up divorce with him. The male lead later learned everything, but the female lead was determined to divorce him, and then the torment of the male lead began.

    📖 *He Even Feels It's a Blasphemy* | Slightly Angsty, But a Happy Ending. Let's talk about what makes this book so angsty— 🔪 The angst comes from his silence. He likes her, but he doesn't say it. He's afraid he's not good enough for her. He hides all his tenderness in his actions—explaining problems to her while helping her with her studies, shielding her from harm, and even when he's being hit, he doesn't let go. It's not that he can't love, it's that he's afraid. 🔪 The angst comes from his near-death experience. The scene on the seventh-floor rooftop. He sits outside the railing, blood streaming down his face. She calls, unaware of anything. He hangs up and pulls his leg back. Not because he's come to terms with it, but because she said "See you tomorrow." Watching him turn back, you feel heartache, relief, and a mix of emotions, and you want to cry. 🔪 The angst comes from his desperate efforts. He gets tinnitus from being hit, takes the college entrance exam with an injury, and goes to Switzerland for ear treatment—everything he does is for her. But he never says "because it's you." He just does it. Watching him shoulder everything alone, your heart aches terribly. 🍬 The ending is heartwarming. He chased after her back to China, saying, "I'm not leaving." He was no longer the boy who felt even the slightest attraction was a desecration. He learned to stay. The ratio of heartbreak to sweetness is roughly 3:7. It's heartbreaking, but also comforting.

    This book, which is still being serialized, is incredibly, incredibly moving and makes you cry every few chapters you read. It should get sweeter later on (this is the first book I've ever wanted to recommend; the beginning is just so incredibly moving).

    These three books are all of this type. In the first one, the male lead knows the female lead doesn't like him, but he pretends not to know and gets together with her. In the second one, the male lead has a crush on the female lead throughout the entire book, and after getting together, he's filled with anxiety and insecurity. In the third one, the male lead feels despicable for deceiving the female lead, and after getting together, he thinks he's someone else's substitute, even injuring his face. He's still filled with anxiety and insecurity. There are sweet moments, but it's not entirely angsty.
