Rape is Love
Rape is Love is a common stereotype in cheap literature, manga, drama, or movie. This concept is often used to show intense (often S&M) sex scene without having to bother developing a good plot line. This technique is used so that the readers feel less guilty about reading/watching rape story.
The rapist expresses his love by raping the girl, and girl hates it. but later comes to realize that it's just a way a guy expresses his love for her.
The rapist is usually really handsome/smart/rich.
The victim is an ordinary person.
This technique can commonly be found in Japaneses smut and yaoi.

She fell in love.
