   It's incredibly good! The male and female leads are both intelligent and emotionally intelligent. There are no naive or silly characters, no melodramatic plot twists, and it's very sweet and doting. Highly recommended... The only downside is that there are too many conflicts and it gets a bit wordy after chapter 600! But that doesn't detract from its appeal. I've reread it several times; the male lead is so doting on the female lead!
