Lure Her Onto the Track

She had an affair. The other party was a scumbag, and also her brother—oh, her stepbrother. She was just lonely and thought he was only fooling around too. Unexpectedly, things spiraled out of control and she was almost caught.

Her husband abused her, leaving her bruised and battered. She ran away from home, intending to divorce. Before the lawsuit could even begin, her husband died unexpectedly, and she discovered she was pregnant.

Her life completely derailed, becoming a joke and gossip. At this time, the man she had an affair with, her stepbrother, promised, "I'll marry you, no matter what my family thinks."

Perhaps the story could have ended happily there, but she refused: "I won't marry you. I don't want to jump into another cage."

Six years later, he completely lowered his stance, and she thoroughly understood the meaning of a "cage." Only then did their respective paths finally connect. This story features a pseudo-incestuous, immoral relationship, imperfect characters, and both leads are not virgins.

Please note: The beginning is melodramatic, while the later parts focus on character growth. It's not a "strong female lead" or "feel-good" read, so proceed with caution if you mind!
