    ⭐I recommend this book. The protagonist, raised in a family that favored sons over daughters, initially believed she was forced to marry an old and unattractive man. To save face, she didn't even dare admit to outsiders that he was her husband, only saying he was her uncle. Unexpectedly, he showered her with tenderness and affection, giving her a sense of security she had never experienced before. What is a sense of security? It's being able to not do things you don't like, not eat things you don't want to eat, and refuse requests you don't want to agree to.
