What if you never had to lose a loved one again?
In the name of love, this story is far superior to other stories by this author
The first part of the movie made me laugh so much that my stomach hurt. It was so funny. The scene where I came to work and felt uncomfortable sitting next to a fat woman in a carriage.
As a courtier, Fermi and his former classmate usurped the throne of Nicephorus, who was also a good friend. Several letters exchanged vividly describe the psychology of the back and forth between the two parties.
The newly enthroned emperor sent his university friends to suppress the border rebellion. The two recalled a mutual friend who passed away in letters. Unexpectedly, the ending changed in the next second.
It's so exciting... In addition to Purple and Black, I also like The Winner and The Most Familiar Devil
