The male lead is a crazy, powerful man who falls in love with the gentle female lead at first sight and has been plotting for a long time. Their reunion is solely for the purpose of forcibly taking her as his wife! To get her engaged to her childhood sweetheart before he does, he injects her with drugs to trick her into getting pregnant, forcing her to break off her engagement and marry him. His methods are incredibly despicable; for example, he gives her ovulation-inducing injections for a one-night stand, lies that he uses protection, buys out all birth control pills, and deliberately sells her vitamins instead. After marriage, he becomes even more like a mad dog, using extremely insane methods. Later, he imprisons her, shoots her, and sends her to prison. In short, it's a crazy, angsty story.

    1. The romance between the female lead from a high-ranking family and the male lead, the patriarch of a wealthy family in Hong Kong, is worth pondering. The supporting female character is slightly disgusting. 2. Similar to another genre but less dramatic; it's a sweet story. 3. The female lead is a bit childish, which I personally don't particularly like, but it's alright. [Thumbs up][Thumbs up][Thumbs up][Thumbs up][Thumbs up][Thumbs up] 4. Highly recommended!

    ① (Arranged marriage, love blossoms later, the male lead's "face-slapping" trope, absolutely sweet and doting) The female lead accidentally becomes pregnant with the male lead's child, which he initially perceives as ulterior motives. He dislikes her, even mocking and threatening her, but he also respects her, refusing to sleep around with other women and protecting his wife. He even attends all her medical checkups without fail, haha. ② The male lead is a wolf. Wolves only have one mate and are loyal to one person for life. If abandoned, they are destined to live alone (if lucky). Two people who once thought it was impossible now cannot live without each other. Even though they are of different species, love is universal. If you can love each other, then love. Werewolves have only one mate in their lifetime. After that, no one else is in their eyes or hearts. The female lead meets a partner who will always love her, will never betray her, and tolerates her awkward personality. It's a bit of a "wife-chasing-after-the-cremation" story; the male lead is indeed a bit rude at the beginning due to some misunderstandings, but their relationship is really sweet after they get together.
