As soon as this book came out, it shocked the world and was banned by many countries. It was not until after World War II that countries gradually lifted the ban. After the 1960s and 1970s, it was regarded as a "classic" by the literary, sociological, and ethical circles. It gave rise to a famous concept in modern psychology - "sadism" and became a model for sadomasochism literature in later generations. The novel tells a story of being abused for love. It depicts for us the protagonist Saunin who wants to realize his love fantasy. Saunin is a European nobleman who falls in love with the beautiful Wanda and feels that the best way to express his love is to be enslaved by her. Wanda reluctantly accepted this "errand" and named him "Grego". However, she believed that Gregor's love was a great shame to her. She tortured and humiliated him in every possible way, but he loved her even more because of it. The novel describes Saunin's emotional delusions and the "ideal" sexual approach he finds in the ruthless Wanda. In this sad and painful love story, the author uses a sympathetic tone to describe Saunin's psychological tendencies that are different from ordinary people, and reproduces the true emotional process between him and his ideal partner Wanda.
