   The male protagonist orchestrates the female protagonist's pregnancy in the very first chapter, forcibly marrying her and demanding a marriage of convenience. They have a child, but their relationship is strained (because the female protagonist was forced into the marriage). After marriage, the male protagonist uses the child to pressure the female protagonist into not divorcing him. In short, the male protagonist is a truly despicable and insanely possessive person. Therefore, the female protagonist develops a complex mix of love and hate for him later on. This is a niche novel with low readership, but it's very good. The male protagonist is truly insane. So insane that readers are amazed that the female protagonist wasn't driven mad. Because the male protagonist truly embodies the concept of forced marriage, first scheming to get the female protagonist pregnant and then methodically forcing her into marriage because of the pregnancy. For details, please refer to the synopsis or the author's epilogue in the last chapter. The author's notes are very sincere and touching.

Their relationship is strained, with both sides contributing. The female protagonist is controlled by the plot and serves as a contrast to the main characters. The male protagonist, on the other hand, is emotionally detached due to his parents' neglect from a young age. He avoids the female protagonist's scolding but never considers divorce, believing that she is the reason he has a family. At the beginning, the female protagonist, controlled by the plot, files for divorce and takes her son back to her parents' home. The male protagonist returns from work to find his wife gone and frantically chases after her to her parents' house. Both protagonists are native to the area. The female protagonist is reborn, breaking free from the plot's control, thus awakening and avoiding dying of breast cancer like in her previous life. The family lives happily ever after.
