   Check out this book! Although the rating is a bit low right now, it's because it's a new book, so there aren't many ratings yet. It's just an initial rating, so don't worry about it! But this book is absolutely amazing! It seems like the typical "male lead chases after his wife" trope, with a sweet girl and a scumbag boyfriend, but the male lead isn't a scumbag at all. He truly loves the female lead, someone he'd love a million times over, and he'll make sure they have a happy ending, even through hardship! The female lead seems fragile at first, but she becomes incredibly strong later on. She's gentle yet powerful, and her intelligence is top-notch—it makes you feel so safe! Everyone should read it, it's absolutely fantastic!

    Cory Jason, the tyrant of the Western European underworld, was born a plunderer. Guns, power, blood—he controlled everything, yet never bowed to anyone, until the appearance of that Chinese girl. Jiang Yiqiao, a gentle yet resilient oriental rose, should never have crossed paths with him. A bloody encounter in a foreign land led Cory to her—clean, stubborn, with a light in her eyes he had never seen before. "Break up," he commanded, gripping her chin. "Impossible," she said, looking him straight in the eye, fearless. "I love him." Cory laughed, arrogant and dangerous: "There's nothing in this world I can't take." But later he realized that taking her was easy, but keeping her meant risking his life. He kept her by his side, using every means to force her to submit, yet gradually became addicted to her warmth. She pretended to be obedient, but secretly plotted her escape. Just when he thought he had tamed her, she disappeared again. The gun was pressed against her forehead, his voice hoarse: "We've kissed, we've slept together, don't you love me even a little?" Jiang Yiqiao closed her eyes and chuckled softly, awaiting the end. But in the end, the bullet didn't fire. Later, a transnational crime was about to erupt, and his subordinates tried to dissuade him: "This has nothing to do with us, it's too dangerous." Cory lit a cigarette, a smirk playing on his lips in the smoke: "Indeed, it has nothing to do with profit." "But it was her faith."

    This is great! The writing is excellent, and the author must be very well-educated. The synopsis is a group portrait, and honestly, I've read every chapter over and over again. It's truly wonderful, unpretentious, and beautiful. I even found it somewhat healing. I want to visit the places mentioned in the book. I really love it. I hope everyone can enjoy good things together. I don't know why not many people are reading it; I don't understand Tomato (the author). It's so good!
