    The male protagonist of this book is a powerful regent who descends from his pedestal for love. Initially, he suspects and tests the female protagonist because of her undercover identity, but he gradually becomes attracted to her. Due to their opposing social statuses, the female protagonist is very wary of him and tries to distance herself from him. The male protagonist silently devotes himself to her, secretly jealous, and loves her but cannot have her. It's not until the female protagonist fakes her death, escapes the palace, and marries the second male lead that the male protagonist tries to steal her away. The male protagonist doesn't realize the female protagonist loves him until 95% of the way through the book. It's an extremely agonizing and heart-wrenching story, and I highly recommend it!
