    This is a super realistic novel. The male and female leads are childhood sweethearts. The male lead becomes a top scholar in the imperial examination, which changes his social class, leading to conflicts between them. The beginning has a very sour and bittersweet tone. If you like this kind of story, you can check out the book review for more details. The plot and the conflicts between the two are very realistic, and it's not just mindless angst.
