    The male lead has a special identity, and the female lead is exceptionally strong. Each couple in the story could easily be the subject of a book (there are marriage of convenience that blossoms into love, love at first sight, age gaps, and even tragic endings). The characters in this book also appear in another book by the same author. The plot is tight and coherent. I recommend reading the first book first, and then the second book by the same author – both are truly excellent.
