    Super good! Super good!! [Admiration][Admiration][Admiration] Pure love story with both leads being virgins, and also very funny, featuring a male lead who develops into a character. There's an age gap; the female lead is seven years older than the male lead. This novel is a true ancient romance, [Masterpiece][Masterpiece][Masterpiece] with excellent writing, clear logic, and a good balance of tension and release. It has the feel of an ancient novel, with detailed descriptions that closely resemble the real ancient world and court life. The female lead has been disguised as a boy since childhood, a somewhat clever but talkative and roguish young woman, yet a sensible and kind person; the male lead is an unfavored prince, incredibly intelligent and cunning, adept at manipulating people. The female lead, fearing she might be a burden to the male lead, never reveals her true gender, eventually turning him into a homosexual. However, the female lead is, after all, a native of a small town, so her thinking is somewhat narrow-minded, her ideas a bit peculiar and mercenary, and she's timid but loves money and is good to the male lead. The story is divided into two phases: a small town and the capital city. The male lead is incredibly skilled at manipulating the female lead. She initially sees through his tricks, but eventually softens and falls for them. After returning to the capital, the male lead focuses all his attention on her. The female lead always believes they are "brothers," but he only wants to be "husband and wife." Although she's a master of flirting, she's actually a naive and innocent "man," which makes it exceptionally easy for him to seduce her into intimacy; she's not shy at all. The male lead only discovers she's a woman after returning to the capital and accidentally learning about menstruation. He goes to great lengths to pave the way for their marriage. There are some melodramatic elements, misunderstandings, and a pregnant woman running away, but rest assured, it's incredibly sweet. The female lead is hilarious, and everyone who comes into contact with her (except the male lead) becomes hilarious too.
