   This book is somewhat like an older novel, but I've read it many times and become inexplicably addicted. The female lead is initially mute and marries the male lead due to family reasons. The male lead is somewhat disgusted by this woman who used trickery to marry him, and even his family thinks she's not presentable. However, the female lead is truly wonderful; she loves herself and her child. Although she's mute (and things improve, I won't spoil it), she always lives a good life and has her own career. Some readers might find the male lead a bit of a jerk in the early chapters, but after reading many novels, I feel he has some admirable qualities. There's a supporting male character with a significant presence, but I ship the main couple. This is a relatively early novel, but the author writes very well; it's worth reading.
