    This is a book that you'll always find yourself reading again and again. The author has good logic. The male lead is the kind of terrifying Yama King who strikes fear into the hearts of everyone from the beginning, but he becomes more tender later on (only towards the female lead). The female lead is an innocent little rabbit in the beginning, but a little fox in the end. The 14-year age gap leads to a bit of a "growing up" relationship, with scenes of the male lead running away while pregnant and turning against the female lead. During the four years they were apart, they were both thinking of each other. And then there's something even more heartbreaking: the male lead dies (it's fake).
