    Is this okay? It's a female-oriented angst novel, with each life filled with suffering, and each one more agonizing than the last. The female lead is a delicate, innocent girl with almost nothing but beauty, and she's tragically persecuted by the constantly reincarnated protagonists. The female lead isn't romantically inclined; there's no love story in this novel. The male leads misunderstand her, believing her to be promiscuous and dissolute, and then justify their actions by forcibly taking advantage of her, imprisoning and abusing her.
