    The male lead is Asia's richest man, a powerful figure in both the legitimate and underworld circles, 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. When she refuses, the male lead uses various means to coerce and threaten her, even deploying fifty warships in international waters to intercept her escape. To force her to stay, he shoots himself, ultimately causing her family's ruin, imprisonment, and miscarriage. This is a forced love/angst story, with the initial suffering followed by sweetness. The female lead suffers first, then the male lead; this is necessary for the plot. Readers who can accept the male lead's initial impurity are welcome to read. You can criticize the author, but please be kind and refrain from negative reviews. Those who enjoy angst should definitely check it out. Currently being serialized; highly recommended.
