Bastard Boyfriend has been rehauled into Fetishized Abuser (for then the narrative portrays an abuser as sexually desirable). Otherwise, it's an example of Domestic Abuser. If both people display toxic behaviors, it's Romanticized Abuse. If the romantic partner is an unpleasant person but not outright abusive, then they are just a Jerk Ass.

So, she begins a life of crime, mainly blackmailing rich women, caring little and doing little to make people care for her.
However, when she meets Torsten Barring (Veidt), he is not repulsed by her disfigurement, and she falls deeply in love.
At the same time, she meets Dr. Gustaf Sergert (Douglas), a plastic surgeon, who is intrigued by her mix of anger and vulnerability and offers to fix her face. Anna jumps at the chance and soon finds the world a different place but her love for Torsten leads her into a deep web of darkness.
