   The male lead is an utterly despicable person, forcibly taking the female lead. The story of the male and female leads becomes increasingly complex, filled with both hatred and intense love as the story progresses. In the first chapter, to steal the female lead from her childhood friend, the male lead orchestrates a one-night stand, deliberately getting her pregnant, and then systematically forces her into marriage. Although they have a child, their relationship is initially strained (because the female lead was forcibly taken). The male lead uses the child to pressure the female lead into not divorcing him. Their relationship develops from marriage to love. The male lead is a truly despicable and obsessive character; his madness is so extreme that readers are amazed the female lead didn't succumb to it. Later, the female lead develops a complex mix of love and hate towards the male lead, making their story a truly bittersweet tale. The secondary couple also experiences a similar bittersweet relationship. For a detailed description of the male lead's madness, please refer to the synopsis or the author's note in the last chapter. The author's note is written with sincerity and is quite touching.

   The book features a mix of genuine feelings from scoundrels, selfish desires from saints, and genuine emotions from villains. It's a tale of love amidst hatred, and even includes stories of couples on opposing sides. I almost forgot about Ah Xian's book, *10*, a story of childhood sweethearts with genuine feelings from scoundrels and couples on opposing sides. It's a 1v3 story with a scheming, ruthless female lead and a male lead who loves only her from beginning to end. The intellectual battles between the male and female leads are captivating, with a compelling interplay of taming and counter-taming. As we all know, a two-way relationship is unstable, while a love triangle is incredibly stable due to mutual restraint. This is one of the few novels I've read three times. I usually only read novels once, and those that make me want to read them twice are extremely rare.

It features two strong characters, the male lead is a scoundrel with genuine feelings, and the female lead is a saint with selfish motives. It's a tale of love amidst hatred, so overall it's alright.

    He's a heartless scoundrel. A family feud forces them into a business marriage, a union that blossoms into love. They have a child, but no feelings remain. She's imprisoned by him, unable to go anywhere. He dismisses her midnight whispers as dreams. When she pretends to measure his neck with a rope, he discovers her lie and tells her she's measuring a necklace, asking if he believes her. He then furiously binds her hands with the rope, forcing her to realize they are enemies. She and the child weep, their eyes brimming with tears. His heart aches, but he feels no pity. She packs her bags to escape, but he discovers her. He doesn't understand how painful it is for her to leave. He doesn't like her, so why is he acting this way? His father pressured him to divorce his wife, but he refused. Her mother urged her to divorce him, and she seemed to have fallen in love with him. However, the deep-seated hatred stemming from their family feud persisted. Her relatives came to rescue her with weapons, but he was monitoring his enemies and family outside. She watched helplessly as her loved ones were injured. Unable to accept this reality, she attempted suicide by banging her head against a wall when he wasn't looking, wanting to die with them. Without her family, she had lost all will to live. He was moved and asked the doctor to save her. The housekeeper, seeing his heartbreaking tears, wondered if he had fallen in love with her. He didn't know that he had fallen in love but refused to admit it. However, she had amnesia and even forgave him for wanting to kill her. He began to recognize his own heart and wanted to make her happy, treating her like a beloved person. He started feeding her, even his son, whom he had never fed before. He knew she was already in his heart. He realized what loving someone was like; he had never known that loving someone could make him give everything. Yet, she asked him if he loved her. He still stubbornly refused to admit it. He remembered his grandfather's words: "A man without love is carefree." She asked him again if he loved her, and in his sleep, he unconsciously and gently admitted it. Until she regained her memory, their marriage was blocked by his father. He had thought their marriage was secure. His father offered him 50 million to leave her, but he resolutely refused. But when he heard her say she wanted 500 million as a breakup fee, his heart sank. It turned out she didn't love him; their love was just a pipe dream. He thought their love could overcome everything, including generations of hatred. He never expected that all she cared about was money. He was deeply hurt. For the first time, she returned to her parents' home openly. He chased after her for love, not even considering the danger to his life. He begged her to come home, but she refused. Her family thanked him, leaving her confused. Why was there gratitude from enemies? Then his father arrived. Were the two feuding families about to fight again? Or were they setting aside their prejudices to prevent the next generation from facing all the family feuds?
