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

Hello do you mind for a chart with me if that's okay by you

muladongjaLv4

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 "

I totally agree, why are stories like these so popular? Like it’s so perverted and the male is always a ceo or a rich guy. Like do you even come up with a different story line? I just hate these stories!

GoatqueenlolLv2

But still they should come up with something different, I have read a lot of stories and the plot and story line and even the characters are all the same!

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 *******.
