The Villain and His Sweetheart

In his past life, he was inherently cowardly and always fled from troubles. Crushed by hardships, he shirked his duties and failed to protect his beloved. By the time he finally achieved success and returned, the woman he loved and their child had already taken their own lives, consumed by endless despair. Tormented by ceaseless remorse day and night, he ended up alone on a hospital bed, passing away with regrets that could never be redeemed.
