    Although it's a role-playing story, based on the author's description, it seems to be about the real Xiao Ge (Little Brother) and Wu Xie (Innocent Wu Xie). The interactions between the two are quite sweet. Although it's written without a romantic pairing, the author probably intends to bring the original Wu Xie and Wu Xie together. It's not a wish-fulfillment story; the author likes to leave foreshadowing, so the writing is very subtle. It's a female Xiao Ge story, don't get it wrong. I suggest reading the synopsis before reading, because I don't want to call anyone an idiot. Often, people don't read the synopsis and then say the book isn't enjoyable. Note that I stated before recommending it that it's not a wish-fulfillment story.
