Description

The female lead is forced into a marriage, and states that she knew she would never be able to marry for love. She explains her dislike to her husband, consistently tells readers how she wants to get the "wedding duties over with" While she never says "No" or "Stop", she does express not enjoying the sex with her new husband, instead imagining him as someone else to get it over with. Another female lead tells the first that while in foster care, a man tried to rape her. She also hints that it might not have been the first time a foster parent had done less severe things to her. The male lead admits to hating the female lead and just wanting to chase his own pleasure during sex. He hooks up with the female lead's ex, hoping to hurt her: the second male lead/ex ends up disliking himself for it. The second female lead gets drunk and the first female lead takes her home, while nothing sexual goes on. It is heavily implied that the first female lead was going to get her intoxicated in hopes of having sex, but upon realizing that it would be rape, chooses not to. The female lead hints at past child abuse from her father: however, it is not discussed if he was sexually abusive or not. The female and male lead get into an argument, and end up having sex while angry. All four end up happy and together in the end, but a lot of scenes hinted at past sexual assault, rapes and rape attempts.
