The plot in the front is detailed, and the content in the back is compact!!!! The writing is good, the contrast is great, the writing is cruel, highly recommended💛💛💛💛💛 (The male protagonist was born in a junior high school. Later, his mother died. When he returned to his biological father's house, he was not welcomed and his personality became vicious. He was also a leader in some underground society. The female protagonist was domestically abused since childhood and was timid and cowardly. The male protagonist bullied the female protagonist in school when he was a student. Later, he changed his identity and married the female protagonist after experiencing a series of things. From liking to falling in love with the female protagonist, the female protagonist did not forgive her from the beginning to the end, and later suffered a mental breakdown. I won't say much about the ending, it's too complicated, but the endings of the supporting characters are all written, so you can read it yourself.)
