    This is probably my favorite classic of the "forced possession, happy ending" genre. It avoids the clichés of old-school romance novels, like bloodletting, kidney harvesting, and imprisonment. There are no mistresses or extramarital affairs, and the female lead isn't a masochistic character (imprisonment, kidney harvesting, and cheating followed by reconciliation are all forms of masochism, aren't they?). Plus, the author's writing is quite good. However, those who can't accept complete control or prefer strong female lead stories should proceed with caution.

To get the female lead engaged to her childhood sweetheart, the male lead gives her a one-night stand, injects her with drugs, tricks her into getting pregnant, forces her to break off her engagement with her childhood sweetheart, and forces her to marry him because of the pregnancy. He uses the child to force the female lead to marry him and to force her to stay by his side! After marriage, the male lead is even more like a mad dog. His methods are incredibly insane. The later parts of the story involve imprisoning the female lead, shooting her, sending her to prison, and forcing her to remarry after the divorce—all physically and emotionally abusive. The female lead is incredibly gentle yet resolute, otherwise she would go insane! She's also extremely jealous and possessive. A super captivating and angsty novel.

    The story revolves around a strong male lead and a weak female lead. The male lead is a powerful arms dealer, and initially, he mistreats the female lead. She returns as an assassin to seek revenge, but she's no match for him. However, the male lead experiences a dramatic "wife-chasing" moment, showering the female lead with affection and secretly making concessions for her, willing to sacrifice everything for her, wanting nothing more than for her to never leave him again. In short, it's a story of heartbreak followed by sweetness, definitely worth watching!

    This is a classic example of a story where the male lead is strong and the female lead is weak. The male lead falls in love with the female lead at first sight and has a secret crush on her for two lifetimes. He missed his chance to be with her in the past life, but in his rebirth, he forcefully takes her away from her. He even snatches her away in the street and then enters the palace to ask for a marriage decree. He's incredibly possessive and doting, but he cherishes and protects the female lead deeply. It's super sweet and incredibly doting. Highly recommended! [Heart emoji]
