This is the first time I have seen a logically closed-loop urban daily romance novel! Is the author going to go against the grain? I really like the single heroine Chi Anya. She is smart, low-key and unpretentious, with high IQ and high EQ, which makes the rich second generation bow down! The depiction of the metropolitan background is lifelike and very immersive! Princes from various wealthy families come and go, but none of them are so grandiose that they are unrealistic. They all look like the rich second generations I have met in first-tier cities! It is very close to our daily reality and can arouse empathy! The author's writing style is exquisite and gorgeous, and the scenes he describes can come directly to his mind. Reading a novel is like watching a movie! Interesting! Highly recommended!
