   The male lead, a top-tier, insane tyrant, makes the female lead cry right from the start! In chapter 180, he locks her in a dark room, making her cry. After the delicate, soft-spoken female lead faints, he goes crazy, and even after she wakes up, he can't soothe her. From chapters 79 to 94, he forces her to take medicine when she's sick. In the early stages, he physically and emotionally abuses her, making her cry and beg him not to break her ankle (he does physically hurt her, but not really!). Later, his affection is incredibly tender! He spoils her rotten!!! From chapter 57 onwards, he's tender, soothing, and kisses her tears. Even when he's being affectionate, there's still some abuse and punishment! But afterwards, he'll comfort her, and kissing her tears is very sweet. Finally, there's a dramatic "wife-chasing-after-the-crime" moment.

    The male lead is Asia's richest man, a powerful figure in both the legitimate and underworld, wielding immense influence. The female lead is a fallen heiress who, due to an accident, encounters the domineering CEO. On their first meeting, she is raped by the CEO, losing her virginity. He also takes nude photos of her to blackmail her into becoming his mistress. She refuses, and the male lead uses various means to coerce and threaten her, even deploying fifty warships to intercept her escape in international waters. To force her to stay, he shoots himself, ultimately causing her family's ruin, imprisonment, and miscarriage. This is a forced love/angst story, initially angsty but later sweet. The female lead suffers first, then the male lead; it's necessary for the plot. If you can accept the male lead's initial impurity, you can read on. You can criticize the author, but please don't leave negative reviews. Writing is hard work; I humbly beg all readers to be kind. Thank you again to all those who like it. If you enjoy angst, this is a must-read. It's currently being serialized and highly recommended. It's super good.

    This is absolutely amazing! It's the best novel I've ever read. The first one is "Forced Love," where the male lead falls in love with the female lead later on. The female lead fakes her death, and the male lead goes crazy, almost committing suicide. He plants a bomb in his car, but his sister comes to tell him she's alive, and with only one second left on the countdown, he presses the stop button. The second one is another one I completely finished. I loved the female lead so much! She's incredibly smart and intelligent, and she helps the male lead a lot because of it. Some parts of the story were really suspenseful, and the foreshadowing was excellent. I love this novel so much! I'm looking forward to the physical copy; I want it signed!
