    🍑🍑🍑The male lead's overwhelming power and possessiveness equal the pinnacle of insane, forceful love! He forcibly takes his cousin, a random passerby is coveted by him, and his concubine is chased by a powerful minister after escaping an arranged marriage… The plot is wild and erotic, featuring forced love and a wife-chasing-after-the-death struggle. The male lead is insanely crazy, and the female lead becomes more and more addicted the more she tries to escape. It's so satisfying, you can't stop watching! I'm totally hooked!

    Speaking of this, these three books are the most qualified to speak on it ̋(ˊ•͈ꇴ•͈ˋ). The first and third books are written by the same author, who really knows how to handle power dynamics 🤌 The second book is truly about the powerful bowing down; heaven knows how excited I was while following it.
