    A masterpiece delayed by scores. The only book that kept me up late this year. I never thought that a book like this would appear in Tomato. This year's two-strong duo have revealed that there is a ceiling for sweet and sadistic sapiosexuality. I can't even watch anything else. The author has a profound literary background, which is not comparable to that of novice authors. The writing is divine and super delicate. The male protagonist is crazy in love, but not mindlessly crazy. The female protagonist is very attractive. After watching the movie, she not only fell in love with the male protagonist, but also fell in love with the female protagonist. Suitable for bookworms with good taste, unique and extreme pull, not cliché. Trust me, you will come back and thank me after reading it. Don't look at the score, the score just opened.

    This book has a relatively positive outlook. It is not a cool novel, there is no tragic death and rebirth for revenge, and it is not a crazy criticism of evil birds of prey. The male protagonist is tough and forbearing and is an exiled abandoned prince. The female protagonist is sunny and self-loving, like a little sun. She is an ugly maid who marries each other, redeeming each other, and the emotional line is thin and flowing. Machiavellian farming and worldly sentiments all exist.
