    Reader note

    The book is purely about the female lead and her own "white moonlight" (ideal love character). I don't think I finished reading it, but I heard from others that it's a tragic ending (BE), and the epilogue includes storylines about the female lead and her "white moonlight." The main reason I recommend this book is because of the "white moonlight"—anyone who sees her will cry, right? I highly recommend it; I suggest you read it. Or you could just read the beginning and then some of the epilogue, which is what I did. I dropped it halfway through. The gist of it is that the male lead was poisoned by the female lead, and then she jumped off a building to be with her "white moonlight."

    The female lead has someone she likes, but the male lead still insists on taking her away through cunning and force. This is one of my absolute favorite stories about forced marriage. The male lead is a crazy, powerful man who falls in love with the gentle female lead at first sight and has been plotting for a long time. Their reunion is solely for the purpose of forcibly taking her away! To get her engaged to her childhood sweetheart before she does, he injects her with drugs to trick her into getting pregnant, forcing her to break off her engagement and marry him because of the pregnancy. His methods are incredibly despicable; for example, he gives her ovulation-inducing injections for a one-night stand, lies that he uses protection, buys out all birth control pills, and deliberately sells her vitamins instead. After marriage, the male lead becomes even more like a mad dog. His methods are extremely insane. Later, he imprisons her, shoots her, and sends her to prison. In short, it's a crazy, angsty story.
