    Reader note

    Sisters, I'm totally sold! This novel, *His Palm Has a Scar*, is absolutely insane! He's sickly weak by day, barely able to walk, but at night he goes crazy, even scaring his own family. Who understands this kind of male lead?! The female lead transmigrates to the past to marry him, but suffers from amnesia and doesn't remember who he is. However, he remembers her—when he was down on his luck, she was the only one who bought him steamed buns and applied medicine to his wounds. So he starts pretending: outwardly obedient and compliant, but secretly, anyone who dares to touch her will have their hand gone the next day. Not the kind of yandere who just talks the talk, but the real kind who actually does it.
