Male lead's angst summary: He secretly used his spiritual consciousness to protect his lover; his heart was ripped out by his lover; he didn't know the female lead was going to sacrifice herself, and she lied to him, saying she would "come back to marry him," and then his lover was gone, and he forgot her too.

    Don't be fooled by the title, this book is incredibly heart-wrenching! The male lead has cancer and wants revenge on those who looked down on him. The female lead is mute, timid, and insecure. They find redemption in each other. It's very poignant! The main story is complete, and the epilogue is being updated. Highly recommended!
