   This book is incredibly captivating. The female lead is remarkably clear-headed; once you start reading, you won't want to leave. You can also learn a lot from it. However, the most important takeaways for me are the importance of loving yourself before loving others and learning to think independently, not blindly following the comments section. I'm truly impressed by the author's views on love and marriage. The author must be a person with a very strong core, emotional stability, and a clear, independent spirit, because only someone like that could create such a charming female lead. Furthermore, the female characters in this book are very well-developed, thoughtful, individualistic, and vibrant; it's as if you can truly glimpse their lives through their underlying personalities. From this book, I also learned for the first time about the significance of morticians—every ordinary job involves extraordinary deeds. It truly taught me a great deal.
