    ⚠️The male lead is insanely obsessive! He's plotting and forcibly taking her! I really, really want to recommend this book!! The male lead is a crazy, yandere, and possessive man!! It's one of my absolute favorite forced-take stories. The male lead is a crazy, powerful man who falls in love at first sight with a gentle female lead and wants her to redeem him. To teach him to love. To love him! (Because no one loves him, he has a very pitiful background). Then, he's been plotting for a long time! When they meet again, he wants to forcibly take (marry) the female lead!! In order to get the female lead pregnant before she gets engaged to her childhood sweetheart, the male lead injects her with an injection to force her to get pregnant, forcing her to break off her engagement with her childhood sweetheart and marry him because of the pregnancy, forcibly taking her. He uses the child to force the female lead to marry him, and uses the child to force her to stay by his side! After marriage, the male lead is even more like a mad dog. His methods are extremely insane. Later, he imprisons the female lead, shoots her, sends her to prison, forces her to remarry after the divorce, and so on, including physically and emotionally abusive parts. The female lead is incredibly gentle yet resolute, otherwise she'd go crazy! She's also extremely jealous and possessive. A super captivating and angsty novel.
