Okay, first the Stockholm syndrome tag is a little inaccurate. The main guy that is keeping the MC girl(Ye Wanwan) captive is basically a head, or at least the heir, of a Chinese mafia family. I don't mean gangster, I mean he could affect the entire Chinese economy if he wanted to. So he is super elite/wealthy/powerful and has an entirely different rule book from the average person. He has had family try to murder him, succeed in killing his father, and nearly killed him leaving him with poor health and an insomnia. His insomnia fuels his violent nature and temper (which is from his environment) and that has led to be cruel towards the Ye Wanwan whenever he felt she betrayed him. So if a romance with a violently temperamental mafia lord is too much for you, even if most of his violence towards the MC is in the past, then you won't enjoy this much. But the author's writing style keeps things light instead of sucking you into the violence, though it is present. This is mostly a MC personal journey to victory/romance story. The MC is reincarnated into her own past self who is still in school, several years before she found out the truth about the two people she trusted and cared about the most and then died. The man she wanted to marry and her 'best friend' had never cared for her and both had been using her, lying to, and betraying her since the beginning. This instantly crushes any former romantic feelings she had and she no longer feels the need to escape from the guy she had been rejecting all this time who had essentially imprisoned her. Though she doesn't have any good feelings towards him and wants her *******, she is able to calmly assess that so long as she avoids rejecting him or making him jealous then he will not harm her. Quite the opposite in fact. Over time her terror of him lessens, though she never forgets what he is capable of, and she begins to see that he is out-right devoted to her. And after the betrayal she's been through that is a charming feature to be sure. She starts seeing his cute/awkward side, and understanding him and what has made him violent, it helps that he is handsome and seductive. But she really doesn't plan to stay with him or fall in love with him until much later on. At first she charms him into giving her more ******* after expressing no more interest in the other guy she used to want. Then she just starts to accept him as a dangerous but useful part of her life, slowly becomes attached and not wanting him to die. Accepting his as her husband essentially as long as he gives her some ******* to reach her goals of revenge. And then finally will fall for him and fully accept his love for her, by her better understanding of why he was obsessively protective/ controlling/ violently jealous and getting him to be less so by showing her own strength, improving his health, proving again no interest in other guy, and proving she won't betray him. After that he becomes almost the ideal lover. So I get why it could seem Stockholm like but it really isn't. They just come to trust each other slowly based on merit and she then accepts him. Which doesn't happen until she has a lot more *******.

Thanks for the review. I was also disturbed with the earlier rape part. Not sure whether to ship this couple or not. However I like the author writing style. Now just can't get enough. Just disappointed with the updates.
Thanks for this, I think I understand the novel a lot better now. I probably won't be reading it but I can see how it's well-written!
Try something new and unique - The King's Beloved - i recommend it if you like romance fiction, totally not a cliche story
This 'review' was one big spoiler...you should warn readers.
I suppose, but I tried to keep it vague and most of it you learn in the first several chapters and the summary. I mostly wrote it to counter the Stockholm tag and get people through the first couple chapters, where it is vaguely stated that she just got raped and has suffered much more before dying pitifully in the past life. Also, with how long and wordy the review was, I myself would generally assume there is some degree of spoilers.

Honestly, the entirety of the story is all connected by the end. There are lots of questionable actions and situations in the beginning that are only answered in the latter half of the story (If you get to it that is). I guess I can see why there might be that tag if you have only read less than a quarter/fifth of the whole thing😅
To be honest I felt the same way and almost stopped reading it, but I continued because the FL had a realistic reaction. She wasn't understanding she was scared and wanted to run away. The author was really strategic and wrote the novel at a pace that allows you to forgive the ML with a reason that although it doesn't excuse what he did it's better than the FL forgetting what he did because she understands. After reading the entire novel and rereading it I've come to realize that his previous violent nature was highly tied to his illness. The more sick he was the more mentally unstable he was and the more mentally unstable he was the more sick he got. Honestly there were 2 incidents where he acted wrongly and they were both in the very beginning when he was at his sickest. I hope if you're willing you can give it a chance, but I won't force you because what he did was disappointing after all. I just can't stay upset after seeing the whole picture.

This is what I wanted to say but I didn't want to spoil it for anybody, but I think I should just put a disclaimer that she wasn't kidnapped and there's a reason she's not allowed to run away.
