    This is the book! It opens with a reunion. The female lead was raised by the male lead, who loves her to the core. Yet, one day she obediently declares her love for him, and the next day she vanishes. He searches the entire city, even kneeling before his father to beg him to let him find her, but she disappears from his world like a bubble, never to be seen again. Six years later, she suddenly reappears. He only glances at her indifferently, but in a deserted corridor at night, he grabs her wrist, his voice hoarse. "Leaving again?" Later, she simply packs her bags, and he, in a frenzy, drags her into a gilded cage he's built years ago, choking her, his eyes bloodshot, close to her ear. "Trying to run away again?"

    I absolutely have to recommend this book. The male lead has been raising the female lead since she was five years old; she's like a doll to him, spoiled rotten.
