    A pure campus romance novel, 100% authentic. Only the cover has an ancient Chinese style; the content isn't. Both female leads are incredibly capable, intelligent, and their interactions are adorable—their friendship lasts a lifetime! The campus setting is also very realistic; it's not a purely wish-fulfillment story. There are exciting moments, but they're all logically consistent! Overall, it's a great read! Highly recommended!!!

    Everyone in the cast is undeniably intelligent. At first, I thought it was just a typical story about a male protagonist going to school, becoming an official, and then settling down in a wealthy family. But the more you read, the more mysteries emerge; no character is simple. The male protagonist's family is far from ordinary. There's no romantic pairing; the male protagonist is a chosen one with great destiny.
