    ✨Although it has a short length, it does not affect the integrity of the story at all. It includes the development process and the romance progresses naturally. The writing is delicate. In just over ten chapters, it portrays their courage to do what they know is impossible. The gossip of the world cannot stop their burning sincerity. Even if the road ahead is bumpy, they are willing to walk side by side and write their love into an immortal poem.
