    This is a book where the male protagonist seizes the wife by force. He is a little angry in the early stage, but it will be better in the later stage. Anyway, it is fun. The female protagonist is also vicious and cruel. The main reason is that it is not finished. The rating is not high. The writing is okay. I like to watch the plot where the male protagonist is tortured by the female protagonist.
