   🌳🌳🌳① This book is really good and I can't put it down. The male and female protagonists are very lovable. They redeem each other. The male protagonist is companionship to the female protagonist, and the female protagonist is salvation to the male protagonist. The female protagonist is neither a saint nor selfish. The male protagonist is so pitiful. The former king has fallen to this point. Fortunately, there is a female protagonist. ②The female protagonist's voice can be heard by the male protagonist, and many people can hear the female protagonist's voice. The dialogue between the female protagonist and the system is also hilarious. Moreover, at the beginning, the male protagonist guessed that the female protagonist has changed her soul. I really like this smart male protagonist. ③ In order to escape from labor after going to the countryside, the heroine married the young son of the village chief's family who has disabled legs.
