    The author's writing is excellent, realistic, and avoids empty rhetoric. There is a system, but it differs from other novels; it's more like a video learning website and doesn't interfere excessively with the female lead's career. There is a male lead, but he's a minor character. The female lead focuses more on her career. While the male lead is quite successful, the female lead is even stronger and doesn't depend on him.
