    The writing of this book is very good. I have read the whole book. It takes a princess with a cursed fate in ancient times as the protagonist.

Every character in the book is very three-dimensional, and the story lines of the villains and supporting characters are relatively complete. The development narrative has a sense of realism, and the writing is very real, a little sad, and makes people feel deeply.
