    This story was originally about a marriage of convenience that blossomed into love. When the male and female leads got married, the male lead made the female lead sign a prenuptial agreement stating that she couldn't fall in love with him, otherwise they would have to divorce. Later, the male lead regretted it, and there was no competition between them. It's incredibly good.

    The male and female leads are childhood sweethearts. Initially, the male lead dislikes the female lead and coldly rejects her. He only gets together with her as revenge for her meddling in his affairs during high school, and he doesn't even break up with her. Later, when the female lead obediently tries to be with someone else, the male lead becomes insanely jealous and regrets his actions, leading to a "wife-chasing-after-the-cremation" scenario.

    It seems to fit all of them to some extent. 3 Is a sweeter story. 2 Is about a male ghost who was cold in his past life and is now jealous because the female lead doesn't like him and he's getting to know her. 1 Is about a male ghost who rejects the original female lead and is now silently fighting against a mistress. 5 Is probably the most fitting one (?).

    Reader note

    This novel, titled "Forced Love," features a male lead with an exceptionally strong character. On the surface, he's a seemingly aloof and cold prince, but in reality, he's a possessive and ruthless villain. The female lead later marries someone else, and while he ostensibly arrives to deliver wedding gifts, he secretly sends soldiers to block the road and forcibly takes her as his wife. Later, because the female lead doesn't reciprocate his feelings, he poisons her with a curse and creates a psychic connection with her, allowing her to sense his emotions. However, she loves him because of his love, and he bears the pain she suffers. When the female lead gives birth, he's the one in pain. Overall, it's a very compelling read. The female lead remains lucid throughout, causing the male lead's unrequited love to become increasingly twisted. The romance is incredibly thrilling, with escape and imprisonment elements. I highly recommend it.
