   The female lead in this book is quite strong from the start. The male lead is in poor health in the early stages, but he is cured later. He is very fierce in public, but he is a crying puppy in front of the female lead. The female lead is strong from beginning to end, and the logic is reasonable. There are no forced stupidity scenes. The only problem is that the ending is a little rushed, but the overall plot is still very good.

Although he seems like a prince, he's actually dirt poor and has to rely on confiscating the property of officials to make a living. After meeting the female lead, he goes from being arrogant and domineering to being completely obedient to her. Just like the title suggests, the seemingly tyrannical prince can only be obedient in front of the female lead. She's definitely a strong female lead.
