    This book is quite novel. The heroine is a black market boss, and she is not the kind of brainless. It is the first time I read this kind of book, and I think it is quite interesting. The more you read, the better it becomes. [Like][Like][Like] The heroine and the female co-star get along on a daily basis, and the relationship between the female co-star and the male co-star is quite funny [laughs], and the male protagonist seems to be a love-struck person [facepalm] It's worth taking a look. Sisters who are book-hungry like me can take a look.
