   It's a really good read! The female lead is an orphan who never had enough to eat growing up. Because of her beauty, she wants to find a man to rely on, but everyone looks down on her because she's considered shallow and illiterate. Her first act of kindness in saving someone leads to her being framed and imprisoned. During her imprisonment, she falls in love with the second male lead, who has a crush on his first love. Even after she gives her virginity to him, he abandons her. To survive, she has to depend on the male lead, who appears gentle and composed but is actually a ruthless and powerful figure. His crush is the same person as the second male lead, and he tortures her terribly for the sake of his daughter. She eventually dies (the sequel is very intense, and the writing is excellent). It's exceptionally good; highly recommended.

There are many dramatic love triangle scenes after chapter 228. Chapters 273, 274, 290, 313, and 322 all have kissing scenes.
