   Highly recommended! A story of a possessive male lead and a refined, traditional lady. He pretends to be obedient, and she seeks to prolong her life. This isn't your typical rental novel; the ambiguity and tension are explosive. She thought her boyfriend was aloof and gentle, a quintessential cold beauty, until he took off his glasses and cornered her against the wall: "Want me? Then come and get me yourself."

   Three years into our marriage, I told the prince I was pregnant. He went crazy—because he'd never touched me. I lowered my eyes and whispered, "On your birthday, you got drunk and mistook me for your first love." From that day on, he treated me like royalty, adding five million to my account and even padded the corners of the tables at home. Three months later, on the day his first love returned to the country, I removed the implants, left the divorce papers, and ran away cleanly. Six months later, I was at a high-class club, embracing two male models, when the door to my private room was kicked open. He stood in the doorway, his eyes red-rimmed, grinning through gritted teeth—"Madam, you've got quite a fishpond."

    Before marrying the female lead, the male lead pretended to be an aloof and unattainable beauty. After getting her, his madness gradually comes to light! The book begins with the female lead graduating, and the male lead deliberately arranges a reunion with her. On the eve of her engagement, he uses trickery to force her into getting pregnant, then feigns innocence and forcibly takes her away, using the child to secure his position. Later, the female lead discovers the truth, and due to various reasons, the story becomes incredibly angsty. I read the whole book twice and found it quite good. It has very fresh characters and plot settings, just niche and therefore not very popular. To be honest, the male lead is really despicable, a master of manipulation and scheming, and incredibly possessive after marriage. He's usually quite calm, but easily becomes irritable and angry towards the man who almost became the female lead's fiancé. This is my favorite book in terms of male-torture plots. However, the female lead is tortured to the point that readers are amazed she hasn't been driven insane by the male lead. The author's epilogue includes a plot analysis, which is a spoiler. Finally, please give it a five-star review after reading! It's a shame this book has so few ratings and a low score. [Crying][crying]
