    This one! Extremely angsty! Incredibly angsty! First it's agonizing, then it's incredibly satisfying and cathartic! A classic "wife-chasing-after-the-cremation" story, a female-centric power fantasy. The heroine is relentlessly tormented in the beginning, then the male lead suffers terribly later, leaving him filled with regret. The writing is concise and fast-paced, brutally angsty, and incredibly satisfying. Hope you enjoy it!
