    I really like the female lead. Even though she died 18 times, she didn't have that murderous aura towards anyone. She just peacefully wanted revenge. The male lead didn't have that domineering CEO type either. Although the male lead is the best in this novel, it's a very good novel. It's enjoyable to read and doesn't make you feel depressed. Instead, it's very relaxing. I really like the interactions between the male and female leads. It's a good read.

    This is a true female-centric novel. The female lead is a dragon, and her true form is invincible, as stated in the synopsis. Even in her sealed state, she easily defeats everyone. The male lead is not weak; he's the strongest besides the female lead, but he's still easily overwhelmed by her. The female lead is a chaotic being, both righteous and evil, while the male lead is an upright swordsman. So far, he's been nearly killed by the female lead twice, only recovering thanks to his resilient constitution. The female lead is rather wicked; because the male lead offended her, she changed her identity, deceived his body and heart, and then revealed her true colors, breaking his heart.
