honestly, I’ve only hit chapter 15 and I feel like I can’t go on... we have this abusive, domineering male lead who seems to hold absolute control over the female lead because... he’s rich? or something? she says that she’s been trying to run away from him for 2 YEARS and constantly acts out to try to make him hate her. after she time travels back, her solution to this toxic relationship is... being obedient so he finally lets her go outside. I literally could not bear reading about this relationship—I mean, it causes the FL to experience severe physical and psychological trauma, and I just kept wishing she’d be able to finally be free. of course, maybe it gets better later on in the story and they somehow transform into a really cute couple, but with this kind of backdrop, it’s really difficult for me to enjoy this story.

i think you should read continue reading the novel i just don't want you to miss out because the beginning of the novel. even though there are misunderstanding but it is interesting reading about their relationship growth and how she gets revenge on her friend. it is ok if you don't like it though.

Thank you! I started to give up people and then I noticed this. I agree with you. Is completely disgusting that the authors turn abusive guys into loveable guys.This Mc is completely brain dead. I mean come on she tried to escape from the guy and got abused and now that she has a new lease on life. What doe she do, she continues to stay with him. I really don't know what people see in Mc likes this and ML that are abusive. I AM STARTING to think that the girls here are a bunch of closet masochist. Give me a break and realize this isn't even cutie story at all even if you guys insist that is all a misunderstanding. I think this what is called Stockholm syndrome relationship. Seriously if this was real people would start to call Mc a fool.

Try something new and unique - The King's Beloved - i recommend it if you like romance fiction, totally not a cliche story

The first chapter is disgusting! MC is raped. How can there be any misunderstanding? It is just despicable. Besides, the male lead is a power-hungry cold-blooded murderer, with no qualms about torturing and crippling his own relatives, just to hold on to power. And I think the female lead may have committed murders too. How is this a love story?

👏👏👏 Thank you for speaking out. I already read this story on another platform, I need to say that is sad that it's so high raked. I feel totally disgusted thinking that this is even a story. Let's be real if you (people o enjoy this story) were raped and caged by someone even if they are the most beautiful and handsome man you ever seen. I don't think you all will feel it's a beautiful love story. She feels that her only option is to to obedient!!! I don't think I need to say more because if all like freddom. I don't see freedom iguals to obedience to someone. I don't recommend this story to anyone.

i think the ml was misunderstood. He only acted that way in the first place because the FL made the ML hate her right? So the ML got to be agressive and he was constantly worrying on losing FL because he loves her, so he became possessive.

from what I understood this story is bit confusing a lot like FL ye wanwan is a school girl ,20years old ...but why she acts like worriless nie , or else ... is there a double character in this story, only one possiblity is there when ye wan wan was 16 years old author mentioned terrorist attack may be during that attack she and worriless nie might be died so ye wan wan' s soul reincarnated inside worriless nie .....even ML 's expression changes whenever she drinks or keeps fighting. For to keep safe FL ,,, ML completely destoryed worri less nie identity....( It's my own imagination don't get a worng idea ) it's a good thing that ML changed from aggressive one to easy going .but in first place he used to be very abusive. I hate that fact of course😠 , is that child really ye wan wan' s and si ye han ..please reveal the past soon ..😃I'm eagerly waiting .......

The more chapters i read the more i know ML had his reason why he behaved like that, and FL misunderstood him. After all she had different goal in life. He's actually sweet and the story is different than others abusive aloof male CEO. Well compare to the stars reborn, one birth two treasures, bring national husband home, etc. This one is way better.

Yea right, hardly wait cause ML had hidden secret about FL. See his expression changed when she mentioned the secret state, etc. And the reason he didn't let FL out maybe also due to safety. There's something going on between her n worriless nie

I am at chapter 1302 and according to where the stories is going there’s a reason why the male lead is acting like that. Apart from the beginning part of the plot the rest is amazing like really good. People should give it a try cause there’s a reason why it’s in the continuous top 10.

I have made my judgment after reading 1000+ chapters and here's how I reviewed it 5 months ago "It surprises me that such a toxic book is actually in the top 10 in the power ranking. The male lead is an absolute controlling, dominant, unreasonable rapist and abuser yet is portrayed as someone who is lonely and has a dark past. Well tell you what, having a dark history or trauma makes your actions UNDERSTANDABLE and not EXCUSABLE. Abusers who use abuse as an excuse to abuse others are the worst. He continously harrases, abducts and locks up the FL for socialising with other males and expects her to wholeheartedly love him.. Like excuse me TF?? The most ridiculous part of the story is that the FL even forgives him and falls in love with him... Like wut? Well I guess it's safe to say that the author has never been raped, tortured, abused in any way because if she had even a littile bit of experience about even one of these things the story certainly wouldn't have progressed this way. A rapist is sympathised with and a abused woman is forced two love her abuser and all of this happens as if this is only natural because if a man want a woman to love her she should just give in, if a man traps you and cages you well it's for your own good because he knows better and you don't, if a man erases your very identify he must've had his reasons because obviously he has the authority to dictate your entire life. And all of this happens in the name of "love". Well I guess we can also say that the author doesn't know what love is. If you think forcing someone to love you out of fear and circumstances is okaaay..well go ahead and read this story. I am so disappointed in this author because I loved Hidden Marriage but this book is an utter disappointment and harmful to the society as it propagates and glorifies negative and toxic relationships that women are actually suffering from. Smh "

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 *******.

Her only daughter was the romantic fool forever revolving around the male protagonist of the novel. If children are not disciplined, the mother is to blame. After being reborn, Lin Xu felt she should step in and discipline her wayward children. However, before she could take action, her eldest son’s dark, handsome, and usually cold face blushed slightly as he asked in a low voice, “Can I touch my head?” The middle son snorted and turned his head, his tone petulant, “I... I don’t want to go home, but if you insist, I'll do it begrudgingly.” The youngest daughter rushed over, mercilessly pushing her brothers aside, “Mom, come and teach me how to solve this problem~” Latter, both sons fought over the bowl of noodles Lin Xu cooked.

Transmigrated Into The True Heiress

Eira Kingston, a feared assassin, never imagined that death would lead her to transmigrate into the body of Ephyra Allen, the disgraced first daughter of the once-powerful Allen family. But what shocked her even more was the soft mechanical voice in her mind, addressing her as "master" and informing her that her soul had returned to its original body. Eira dismissed the strange voice, thinking she was having a post-death hallucination. But waking up in a hospital, with memories that weren’t hers flooding back, she was forced to confront the truth. Ephyra’s life had been nothing short of a nightmare. Despite being the legitimate daughter, she was labeled a bastard, shunned by all, and overshadowed by her scheming stepsister, who had stolen the love of her father and her betrothed. To make matters worse, the wealth and status the Allen family enjoyed were all thanks to Ephyra’s late mother, and the only reason she hadn’t been discarded entirely was due to her mother’s inheritance, locked away until she turned eighteen. But Eira wasn’t one to be defeated by circumstances. If she was going to live Ephyra’s life, she would do so on her own terms. She would destroy those who had caused Ephyra pain, claim the inheritance that was rightfully hers, and find out who was behind her own death. Because if there was one thing Eira knew how to do well, it was to survive—and make her enemies pay. However, being a high-schooler with nothing to her name wasn’t enough. As Ephyra, she’s powerless, but as an assassin, she’s lethal. Still, even that wasn't enough until she became the contracted wife of Lyle Aelion—a powerful, enigmatic figure in the business world with a secret illness. And it turns out, the only thing that can relieve him is her scent.

The Villain's Wife

-COMPLETED- WARNING: FL is scheming and evil. Like almost every dramatic romance novel, Lily Qin’s story began with an evil stepmother, a scheming stepsister, and a dumb ex-fiance. At twenty, she fell prey to their grand scheme and became the laughingstock of the country. In despair, she left. Seven years later, Lily Qin rose from the ashes. She was labeled as an empress, an iron lady, a genius, and a prodigy. She was Miss Tycoon. Now, at twenty-seven, Lily Qin was an established businesswoman who was single-handedly controlling her multinational company abroad. She was beautiful, smart, and successful. Women envied her while men couldn’t help but worship her ethereal beauty. With her devastating past, everyone had assumed that Lily would exact revenge on the people who had wronged her. Who would have guessed that behind that beaming smile of hers was a numb heart that aimed only to make more profit? "You got it wrong." Lily elegantly propped her chin on the back of her hand. "I am seeing you today because we have something in common. We're both villains in somebody else's eyes. And I think it's time for us villains to get our own happy ending. Don't you think so?" --- Zhuo Jingren’s love for Lily Qin was something that only he knew. Ever since they were children, he had his eyes on her. Yet, every time he had tried to confess, he would end up fainting from nervousness. So when Lily Qin promised to marry him if he became richer than her, Zhou Jingren did not hesitate to leave the orphanage and work his way up just to become her man. Who would have thought that years later, when he was successful and feared by many, he would come back to an engaged Lily Qin? Then she mistook him for an escort after eating his tofu? Preposterous! The worst thing was, she seemed to have forgotten everything about him. Hadn’t she promised to marry him the moment he became more prominent than her family? Now, after taking advantage of him, she dared to run away? This woman was a liar! He gritted his teeth as he watched her approach him. He was about to say something mean when she suddenly spoke. “Are you my new bodyguard?” She did not even wait for him to answer before tossing her car keys at him. “Drive. Let’s go wreak some havoc.” Thus, the mafia’s big boss became Lily Qin’s bodyguard. --- "So? What do you want as a compensation?" Zhuo Jingren asked her once again before laying down next to her. His elbow was resting on the ground and his palm was supporting his head as he looked at her intently.  The first thing that Lily noticed about Zhuo Jingren when he laid next to her was his exposed tanned chest. This made him look more casual… and hot. She didn't even realize she was staring at the latter. "Why are you staring at me like that?" He smirked at her. "Do you want me to compensate you with my body?" Lily immediately rolled her eyes at the latter. "Who wants your body? Hmp! I want money!" "Your mind is always thinking of money but your body actually betrays you. Am I right to say that I have a shameless wife?" "Hah! I am a strong and independent woman of the 21st century. I know what I want. But if you insist on giving your body, I will take it too!" Lily shamelessly said, taking off her stilettos. However, just when Lily was about to lie down beside Zhuo Jingren, he suddenly pulled her on top of him. With her body on top of his, their faces were really close and they could even feel each other's breath.  "What a shameless woman," he noted, the smile on his face only deepened. .... Cover is mine.
