   The author's writing is superb; every character is vividly portrayed and feels real. While the female lead is powerful, she achieves her strength through her own hard work and effort, without any overly obvious "heroine halo." Everyone is the protagonist of their own story. The female lead is strong, but the others are equally formidable. The story is generally lighthearted and humorous, but sometimes the heartbreak comes unexpectedly. You'll feel a pang of sadness at the demise of villains and shed tears for the departure of good characters. My writing skills are lacking, so I can't offer a truly good review. In short, I highly recommend this book and look forward to the author's next work!
