    The most heart-wrenching "wife-chasing crematorium" story features a male lead who is a top-tier, insane, and obsessive maniac with blood on his hands! He punishes the female lead mercilessly, making her cry right from the start, but then showers her with affection, coaxing and kissing away her tears. The early stages are incredibly cruel, both physically and emotionally, causing the female lead to fear him and cry, begging him not to break her ankle (he does physically hurt her, but not with real force!). From chapter 57 onwards, he showers her with affection, his gentleness reaching his very bones. The back-and-forth between pampering and punishment continues, culminating in a brutal "wife-chasing crematorium" scenario where the insane man will stop at nothing to win her back.

She had loved him for six years, only to receive the final words—"Just an adopted daughter of the Jiang family, not even good enough for me to play with." Six years of affection insulted and trampled upon, Lin Jinyi wept bitterly by the roadside, hugging her knees. As snowflakes fell, a black umbrella was held over her head, and a man's gleaming black leather shoes came into view. Lin Jinyi looked up in surprise. The man was dressed in all black, his knee-length British-style overcoat slightly open in the wind, his high-necked sweater outlining his cold, hard jawline. His voice was cold: "Why are you crying?" Lin Jinyi stopped crying and timidly called out, "Brother-in-law." In Lin Jinyi's eyes, Huo Tingyu was the powerful head of the Huo family, Huo Yan's uncle, her sister Jiang Shangjin's fiancé, and her nominal brother-in-law. He was gentle, refined, and polite, someone she both respected and admired. She never imagined that one day she would have a secret relationship with him. As the effects of the alcohol wore off, the madness of the previous night resurfaced in her mind. Lin Jinyi's face turned deathly pale. The man tightened his embrace around her waist, gently biting her ear, his voice low and languid: "If you don't want your sister to know, then let's do it again." To obtain Lin Jinyi, Huo Tingyu was willing to make a deal with Jiang Shangjin, seducing her step by step. Jiang Shangjin: "What do you want in return for marrying me?" Huo Tingyu: "Lin Jinyi." Jiang Shangjin: "She likes Huo Yan." Huo Tingyu: "Just a nephew."

    Finally, I've found a novel that doesn't revolve around a domineering CEO who, after making a mistake, tries to reconcile and then forcefully takes the other person back. It doesn't have to be bloody and tearful; instead, it's about sadness conveyed through calm conversations, and the characters actually speak. I love this kind of story. There's no imprisonment, no muteness, and no violence. Although the male lead is mute at the beginning, he later realizes his mistakes and tries to make amends, admitting his errors instead of stubbornly insisting he's right like in other stories. Even if he's wrong, he still treats the male lead well and listens to him. He doesn't play games with people's feelings and doesn't keep entangled with the person who likes him. He has a good sense of boundaries. I'm extremely satisfied with this novel.

In the third book, the female lead is timid and faces workplace bullying, but the male lead eliminates all those who bully her and raises her to be very confident.
