    The male protagonist orchestrates the female protagonist's pregnancy in the very first chapter, forcibly marrying her and demanding a marriage of convenience. They have a child, but their relationship is strained (because the female protagonist was forced into the marriage). After marriage, the male protagonist uses the child to pressure the female protagonist into not divorcing him. In short, the male protagonist is a truly despicable and insanely possessive person. Therefore, the female protagonist develops a complex mix of love and hate for him later on. This is a niche novel with low readership, but it's very good. The male protagonist is truly insane. So insane that readers are amazed that the female protagonist wasn't driven mad. Because the male protagonist truly embodies the concept of forced marriage, first scheming to get the female protagonist pregnant and then methodically forcing her into marriage because of the pregnancy. For details, please refer to the synopsis or the author's epilogue in the last chapter. The author's notes are very sincere and touching.
