   The beginning of this book was quite sweet; the male lead stood up for the female lead's ex-boyfriend, beating him to a pulp. Then, in the middle, the female lead discovered that the male lead was actually using her as a shield to spite his ex-girlfriend, so she quit her job and went home. Then the male lead went through a whirlwind of pursuing her, using all sorts of methods. When I was reading it, I felt so sorry for the female lead; she was incredibly unlucky to have met so many normal men. 😣
