There is no aura in the house-fighting novels, but the writing is still very smooth and beautiful. The heroine weighs the pros and cons of the marriage with the hero in order to escape from the marriage arranged by her aunt (normal marriage). After marriage, the hero and heroine are very sweet and work together to strengthen themselves and avoid other people's schemes [Chigua][Chigua]
