• • The male lead kidnapped the main character, who already had a man she loved and didn't want anything to do with the ML.

• • The ML has a temper, so after some repeated escape attempts by the MC, he r*pes her. They're not married, so there's not even that flimsy and entirely misguided excuse that his wife is obligated to have s*x with him. They have no actual binding relationship to speak of. He just keeps her at his house.

• • The MC's fake friend is giving her "bad advice" and setting her up to get caught in order to make the ML mad and drop the MC, so fake friend can slide in and marry ML (flawless logic).

• • The ML gets mad and in return takes away MC's freedom, r*pes and abuses her, confines her at his home, making her more like a pet than a human.

• • In her second chance, MC wakes up after the first (?) r*pe, so the deed is done. The ML is irredeemable to me at this point. The MC then promptly decides to stop listening to the fake friend and to treat ML better so she can have some freedom (like going to college). She blames fake friend for her suffering, even though the actual suffering was personally caused by the male lead. I guess she needs to misplace the blame somewhere, in order to accept the ML as her lover.

• • The MC decides to treat the ML nicely and tries to convince him to take this slow with the promise they'll end up as lovers. At this point I can't tell if she's serious. She does seem to be warming up to him.

• • The MC was convinced by fake friend to wear heavy make-up and fake tattoos on her face to make herself look ugly and unappealing. The ML still r*ped her and doesn't seem to mind her appearance (which makes him the only non-judgmental person in this novel, wow).

• • Everyone around the ML - friends, subordinates, home staff - seem to despise the MC for two reasons - one, she's too ugly to deserve any sympathy, respect, decency or trust; and two, because she used to always throw tantrums and try to escape (gee, I wonder why she'd do that).

So, we got a criminal male lead, a helpless MC who might fall for him, unlikable judgemental idiots as side characters, and a plot that twists all its issues around and presents itself as a romcom. It's fine if you enjoy the novel, but you gotta be blind not to see it for what it really is. One reason I can think of for myself to keep reading is to see whether there'll be some justice served eventually. To all the characters blindly supporting a rapist kidnapper, to the ML who needs jail time, to the MC who needs to get her life back and find a decent lover.

Oh, right. Forgot to mention the ML is super gorgeous, rich, and influential. So I guess that makes everything alright then, heh.

of blood and running away and violence in general

when it is revealed that YWW is not really YWW but the sister of Nameless Nie and that she had a child with SYH but SYH didn't know because she disappeared from his life for ten months and when he accidentally reunited with her, she is in a horrible, bloody state. By then, he took her away from the Independent State and to China where, because she's suffering from PTSD and doesn't want to remember the hell she went through to the point of hurting herself, SYH decided to hypnotise her, changing her memory to that of the real YWW who is already dead. And made her live as YWW as she forgets her former infamous life. Frankly, the hypnotism part is the WTF moment

although, I'm annoyed at SYH right now because his charade of denying he is SYH in front of YWW to get her to return to China -they are in the independent state- is getting on my nerves and YWW deserves none of it especially when she is wading blindly and miraculously surviving

The author tries to justify that the female lead deserves all the abusive treatment from the male lead because in her past life she was by far the most gullible idiot that is too dumb to live. I'm not exaggerate one bit when I say how dumb this character was written. We are made to feel like none of the bad things in her life would have happened if she had just acted like a submissive docile doll for the male lead and just accept her life as a happy lil prisoner.

You see, the male lead is really just "misunderstood." The female lead was really "ungrateful" in her past life and her whole family fell to ruin because she was a total bimbo.

Of course, when the female lead is reborn, suddenly the idiot ball that she was carrying had been dropped. Now she is soo perceptive, suddenly a marital art expert, was secretly a genius the entire time (except math to make her "relatable" and so the male lead has to "tutor" her), and manipulative mastermind. She apparently has all this inside information on every other single side character even though it had been stated that she had been locked away by the male lead for most of her old life...

Author tries hard to make the reborn female lead into a "quirky, badass, but also beautiful mastermind." All the other characters are really dumb too and will believe any line told to them.

In my opinion MC isnt inlove with ML yet! It felt like the MC is manipulating the ML to not make her life difficult but at the same time I suspect ML knows everything but still gave her "some" freedom

I'm genuinely embarrassed by just how much I cried for JXR. I nearly couldn't keep reading the story because I felt so sad and read a spoiler that made me feel so much worse. This man deserves the whole damn world, he was on top of the whole world, and he gave up his everything. Every step of the way he was there to support her and sacrifice for her even when she didn't know it. He deserved her love, he got her love, and for her sake by his own hand he gave it away!!! Truthfully if he didn't erase her memories with him I honestly don't believe she would've ended up with SYH. I wish some dj existed about their happy ending :' (

He's also very different from SYH; SYH is cold on the surface and MC does all the assertive seducing, whereas JXR is gentle on the surface but very flirtateous with Worriless.

Why the f*ck does this not qualify for a tragedy tag I literally can't stop the tears at all. HE DIDN"T EVEN MEET HER ONE LAST F*CKING TIME. SHE DOESN"T EVEN KNOW AHHHHH!!!! Never read a more qualified tragic second male lead in my whole entire life, reading that video message broke my heart. NOT TO MENTION THAT SIDE STORY AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

*EVERY* *SINGLE* *STEP* *OF* *THE* *WAY* he was there for her, many times she didn't even see. He paid attention to the things even she didn't or couldn't, like the Tang sword.

EVERYONE else, absolutely everyone else, ends up with a pretty decent happy ending. EXCEPT JXR AHHHHHHHHHHH

Honestly it's to the point I wish TangTang was actually JXR's son so that there's something left of him and his devotion, sigh. Tried to fool everyone so much he almost fooled himself. I suppose in one sense the ending is what he worked for, but in the "new Worriless" by his own hand she hardly has any impressions of him and his whole existence disappeared with no one really noticing... I could write a full essay on him. Let me just say don't make the same mistake I did and spoil his story.

Okay but also I don't f*cking believe it. They're on this mystical island of martial experts with inhuman bodies and all types of gu insects, yet JXR can still get a terminal illness, that he caught quite early considering he was still alive for such a long time afterwards, that is impossible to heal from?? He had money, connections, the entire world in the palm of his hand. It couldn't possibly be genetics. Meanwhile, SYH's entire body was falling apart and he had less than 6 months to live, yet was able to completely recover into a superman again through totally natural means.

But wow I can't even imagine what that past life must've been like for JXR as well. Sigh, I guess we can say fortunately this time at least he met her, helped her re-establish herself, and confirmed her future happiness... bububut :' (

As you progress on the story you will find that YWW isn't really innocent and that SYH isn't that much of a terrible guy. In the chapters (200+) you sill learn from YWW's POV how horrible of a character she had. How spoiled and naive that she lost everything that she didnt even remember her own death. But as far as she remembers SYH was with her all the time keeping her safe but dumb her keeps attracting trouble. In the end she was imprisoned.

SYH? Well I don't really find him much of an evil guy but instead finds him as someone who is a maiden in love inside but an ice block outside. In the past he made his entire family his enemy in order to make YWW his until he was no more than near by deaths door did he release YWW. In this life time their current relationship is slowly building up along with their trust and relying with each other. Their moments are also pretty adorable since YWW always have to make the first move in order to get what she wants leaving a dumbfounded SYH.

The main villain/antagonist of this novel isn't the plastic SMQ but the white flower BRX that is SYH's subordinate. And one more annoying character would be SYH's grandma who f*cking cant decide for herself but instead is just like a white board going along with what people writes on it.

The subordinates tho like XY is pretty hilarious now and Da Bai as well. Her career as a manager in the entertainment industry is building up. She also reconciled with her family but poor bro he is still in love with plastic girl.

The YWW we knew wasn't actually the real YWW but is actually someone else. YWW and SYH actually had a kid. YWW and SYH is a leader of some really powerful organizations, fell in love, etc.. then bam. The story is all over the place.

For people who think that the author is just elongating the novel and throwing random stuffs (Independence State) into the mix, you are wrong. The author has planned this from the very start and has dropped hints about Nie Wuyou since the very beginning such as Ye Wanwan's nightmares, Si Xia's memory of a certain someone, etc.

There is no Stockholm Syndrome because she's Nie Wuyou with Ye Wanwan's transplanted memories. They were lovers with a child before the memory transplant took place and she just simply fell in love with him all over again as Ye Wanwan.

And for the 'rape' in the beginning chapters, the author didn't simply write it off. In the 1900++ chapters Si Yehan expressed deep regret and remorse for forcing himself on her at that one time. He didnt know how to apologise at that time.

Oh there are two additional important characters are there great white tiger tied with pink ribbon and ML 's little photocopy baby only showing his cute sides to his mom
