   This! Pure ancient prose! The writing is really super delicate! I recently came across a new book by accident. The setting is okay, mainly because the writing is really delicate, and the emotional descriptions are particularly good! Highly recommended!

I feel that the heroine is particularly clear-headed and clearly understands the covenant relationship with the hero, which makes the hero anxious.
