    The new book is currently being serialized. The male lead appears gentle and refined, seducing the female lead, but is actually cunning and manipulative—a dark and obsessive male ghost. The early part is a period of ambiguous tug-of-war where the male lead, seemingly crazy and possessive, is actually plotting to seduce the female lead (the table of contents is practically a depiction of his seduction process). The male lead loves the female lead deeply, obsessively and madly wanting her. He is meticulous, calculating, and scheming, constantly manipulating the female lead to willingly come to him—a very calculating character. He is possessive of the female lead, and there's a time when she's close to her childhood sweetheart, leaving him only able to feel jealous without any official status—it's truly cunning. But judging from the synopsis, it seems to be a story of love and hate (I'm guessing, but it might not be). You can check out the table of contents and synopsis first. The author's writing is always very delicate; I highly recommend it.

The male lead outwardly cooperates, but secretly plots to bring her under his sphere of influence.
