    The male lead imprisons the female lead, who, suffering from amnesia, is happy to find a place that provides food and lodging. Their love story is a tumultuous tale of love and hate, a bittersweet tale. He imprisons her but leaves with a staggering 500 million yuan settlement. They were married before marriage, have a child, but their relationship is strained. In his dreams, he vaguely hears her crying and talking, which he dismisses as sleep-talking. She measures his neck with a rope, and he discovers it. She says she wants to buy him a necklace; he doesn't believe her. Instead, he ties her hands with the rope, warning her that they are enemies. She feels no love from him and only wants a divorce, packing her things while pregnant. He discovers this and prevents her escape, imprisoning her. He doesn't know he has fallen in love with her. Neither knows the other's feelings, yet they bear the deep-seated hatred of their families' feud. They were blinded by love, a bitter love masked by a sugary coating of hatred. She repeatedly asked him if he loved her, but his answer was always the same: "enemy." Hearing those two words killed her heart. Perhaps love didn't matter at all, but she desperately wanted him to set aside their generations-old feud and love her. Finally, she didn't want to love anymore; it was too exhausting this tangled web of love and hate. She wanted to escape, but he monitored her 24/7. Her family came with a bunch of weapons to rescue her, but seeing them all injured, she lost all will to live and smashed her head against a wall. Her hatred for him intensified many times over. He watched her collapse, his heart breaking at the sight of her tears. The butler asked him if he had fallen in love with her, but he stubbornly insisted and sent a doctor to save her. He didn't want her to die; he wanted her to be well. He felt he was completely devoted to her. She survived, and only then did he realize he had fallen in love with her. Some loves are just too hard to express. She had amnesia; she hit him as a reward. She forgot all their past grievances and grudges, yet he told her she was his husband and even lied to her about having a child. They were more affectionate than ever before. In her dreams, she asked him if he loved her, and he unconsciously and tenderly replied that he did. But when he woke up and asked again, he wouldn't answer. He thought that for the rest of his life, he would simply pretend not to know, and that this happy and peaceful existence would continue. But then she regained her memory. All the bad things he had done to her, all the unkindness he had shown her, that one slap—all of it had long since driven away her love. She felt a pang of bitterness. His love was worthless. It was their parents who initially wanted him to marry her, and now it's their parents who want him to divorce her. They've been urging him to divorce her repeatedly, both before and after his amnesia. He already knows he's fallen in love with her, and he resolutely refuses to divorce her, but it's too late. His father demands a 50 million yuan breakup fee, but he won't budge for money. However, she demands a staggering 500 million yuan to leave, and his father agrees. She finally returns to her parents' home with dignity, but he chases after her, disregarding everything, even if her family kills him, to beg her to come back. He arrives, her family thanks him, and she's completely bewildered. His father also arrives, fearing for his precious son's life. Can he win her back? Will they continue in their old predicament of deep-seated hatred and unrequited love?
