    This book is good to read. The male protagonist is from the Beijing circle and the female protagonist is from a Jiangnan aristocratic family. They get married first and fall in love later. The male protagonist has been planning for a long time. It was obviously him who was the first to fall in love with her, and he indeed let her step into the "trap" he set. The author's writing is good. I recommend it.
