The female lead in the first book is a scheming, beautiful, and self-serving woman, while in the latter two, the male leads are very possessive; if the female lead has any thoughts of leaving, the male lead will use coercion and manipulation.

    🔥🔥🔥🍀Coriander's Recommendation⭐① The male lead comes from the apocalypse and has superpowers. The female lead is reincarnated into a erotic novel. The male lead's fourth brother is the male lead in the novel. The female lead will not fall in love with the male lead. The fact that they are together is a scheme by the male lead. (Imagine having a husband who can cook, do housework, has wood-type superpowers, and is good in bed, and doesn't ask for anything from you, would you want him?)
