Minor: Rape, Murder, and Pedophilia

There was maybe one paragraph not extremely detailed of r*pe. I didn't find it triggering however some people might. Given that the main character is 15 and her husband is 27? I would count that as weird and it is briefly mentioned throughout but not explicit I don't think.

there is a murder in it which isnt described in detail but it is told and it is a bit horrific to think about. Also the 1561 chapters she is poisoned and then the last one there is a murder again which is a bit more described (a suffocation)
