   ① Highly recommended!! The male lead is paranoid and has depression, and doesn't know how to love. The female lead is afraid and begs him to let her go. Ten years later, they meet again, and the first thing he does is pin her against the wall and say, "I want you." (Don't worry, it's just a threat; the male lead loves the female lead very much and wouldn't want to hurt her at all.) ② The female lead lacks confidence and security due to her family background. The male lead finally gets her to accept him, but because of the grudges of the previous generation, he hurts her deeply. Later, he tries his best to beg for her forgiveness and is willing to do anything for her. ③ The male lead is super innocent, arrogant, stubborn, and blushes easily [laughing]. He only dares to take advantage of the female lead's temporary deafness and confesses his love to her when she's not wearing a hearing aid, spouting all sorts of flirtatious lines, scaring the female lead into pretending to be deaf! The male lead's self-perceived crush was actually obvious all along.

    The male lead's only redeeming qualities are his unwavering devotion and wealth, no exaggeration. He truly embodies the art of forceful acquisition, first feigning gentleness and gentlemanly conduct while secretly plotting to get the female lead pregnant, then methodically compelling her into marriage. His possessiveness after marriage is incredibly strong. He's usually quite calm, but easily becomes irritable and furious with the man who almost became the female lead's fiancé, driven to the brink of madness by jealousy. He's the kind of guy you shouldn't casually help on the street. I read it twice and still found it quite enjoyable. It has a very fresh character and plot setting, just niche and therefore not widely popular. To me, it felt like he was completely insane. I particularly liked the scenes of tormenting the male lead; the descriptions were very delicate. The female lead's suffering was so intense that readers were amazed she hadn't been driven insane by the male lead. Overall, the plot is indeed very engaging. If you felt the male lead's suffering wasn't adequate, you can read the last chapter's epilogue, where the author analyzes the plot and the relationship between the male and female leads. I found it very sincere and moving.

    I highly recommend these books, all of which I later added to my favorites. Although the titles of two of them are indeed questionable, don't let the titles deter you!! They are really good. If you like campus novels, or those that start in a campus setting and then transition to the city, you can pick them up without hesitation (oh, the third one is not a campus novel).
