   This is a Korean-themed novel, and it's incredibly good. After finishing it, I even looked for several other Korean-themed novels to read. It's a revenge novel, and I should mention that the male and female leads definitely have a tragic ending, although the process is alright. The male lead is really awful, the worst kind of awful, yet he gives his heart solely to the female lead. Even after being killed by her, he still loves her. This novel is truly a classic example of a rotten person with a sincere heart. My vocabulary is really limited; I don't know how to describe it, but it's absolutely amazing! The female lead is incredibly intelligent, and I highly recommend it to everyone. Also, this isn't a 1v1 novel. The female lead and male lead were married before, and after the male lead dies, the female lead marries his brother. The male lead's friend also likes the female lead, so it's a slightly one-sided love story among the entire cast. However, the female lead doesn't end up with anyone. There are also some scenes featuring a group of women.
