   The male lead is a truly insane man who forces love. The female lead is a gentle and refined young lady from a wealthy family. The male lead manipulates her into becoming pregnant, using the child to force her to stay with him and marry him, even though she doesn't love him. He approaches her with the intention of using her, resorting to any means necessary. In the very first chapter, he manipulates her pregnancy, truly mastering the art of forceful acquisition. He first schemes to get her pregnant, then systematically forces her into marriage, coercing her into a marriage of convenience. They have a child, but their relationship is strained (because the female lead was forced into the marriage). After marriage, he uses the child to prevent her from divorcing him. In short, the male lead is a truly despicable and insanely possessive man. The female lead suffers greatly, as does the male lead later on. Therefore, the female lead develops a complex mix of love and hate towards him. The plot becomes extremely tragic later on (see the synopsis for details). I recommend reading the author's postscript in the last chapter, which analyzes the relationship between the male and female leads. The author's words were written with sincerity and were very touching.
