    He was heartbroken and tortured to death while trying to win her back. Amidst family feuds and grudges, they were forced into a business marriage, a union that blossomed into love. They had a child, but no feelings remained. She was constantly imprisoned by him, unable to go anywhere. He mistook her midnight whispers for dreams. When she pretended to measure his neck with a rope, he discovered her and could only say she was measuring a necklace, asking if he believed her. He then went berserk, binding her hands with the rope to bring her to her senses and make her realize they were enemies. She and the child cried their hearts out, and his heart ached, but he showed no pity. She packed her bags to escape, but he discovered her. He couldn't understand how painful it was for her to leave. He clearly didn't like her, so why was he acting this way? His father pressured him to divorce his wife, but he refused. Her mother urged her to divorce him, and she seemed to have fallen in love with him. However, the deep-seated hatred stemming from their family feud persisted. Her relatives came to rescue her with weapons, but he was monitoring his enemies and family outside. She watched helplessly as her loved ones were injured. Unable to accept this reality, she attempted suicide by banging her head against a wall when he wasn't looking, wanting to die with them. Without her family, she had lost all will to live. He was moved and asked the doctor to save her. The housekeeper, seeing his heartbreaking tears, wondered if he had fallen in love with her. He didn't know that he had fallen in love but refused to admit it. However, she had amnesia and even forgave him for wanting to kill her. He began to recognize his own heart and wanted to make her happy, treating her like a beloved person. He started feeding her, even his son, whom he had never fed before. He knew she was already in his heart. He realized what loving someone was like; he had never known that loving someone could make him give everything. Yet, she asked him if he loved her. He still stubbornly refused to admit it. He remembered his grandfather's words: "A man without love is carefree." She asked him again if he loved her, and in his sleep, he unconsciously and gently admitted it. Until she regained her memory, their marriage was blocked by his father. He had thought their marriage was secure. His father offered him 50 million to leave her, but he resolutely refused. But when he heard her say she wanted 500 million as a breakup fee, his heart sank. It turned out she didn't love him; their love was just a pipe dream. He thought their love could overcome everything, including generations of hatred. He never expected that all she cared about was money. He was deeply hurt. For the first time, she returned to her parents' home openly. He chased after her for love, not even considering the danger to his life. He begged her to come home, but she refused. Her family thanked him, leaving her confused. Why was there gratitude from enemies? Then his father arrived. Were the two feuding families about to fight again? Or were they setting aside their prejudices to prevent the next generation from facing all the family feuds?
