    Reader note

    It's incredibly angsty. The protagonist is forced into a relationship from beginning to end, and it's extremely melodramatic, like a complete soap opera, with every cliché imaginable. The male lead is a scumbag and insane, and the protagonist suffers excruciating physical and emotional abuse. The male lead's pursuit of his wife is so intense that he even stabs himself in the back.
