    This twisted love story is so long and tedious! I didn't notice before I started reading, and only after I was almost crying my eyes out did I realize that this plot would be nearing its end in other books, but this one is just beginning. I found it before bed and have been reading it until now, but I can't continue. You can give it a try if you're bored. The male lead goes from a mad dog to a loyal dog. He's a complete jerk in the beginning, and he's good at self-control, but his tragic upbringing means he resorts to extreme methods. The female lead also knows exactly what she wants and never gives up on him. She raises him very well/is very good at "training" him, but he's also a little bitter, with everyone around him dying. Aside from the slightly incomprehensible but respectable obsession with old things, the plot is pretty good. The story has its ups and downs, and you might even shed a tear.
