    The male protagonist is 11 years older than the female protagonist. He loves the female protagonist very much, and he only loves the female protagonist without loving anyone else.

I felt that It was okay, the young couple flirting and flirting was sour and sweet, but I saw some criticisms in the comments. If you want to watch something pure and sweet, just skip to Winter Hunting Rescue (the male protagonist enters the palace for the sake of the heroine, directs and acts to save the heroine, it's so cool). After watching it, it's super sweet. Moreover, the author has written very high-level plots and plots. I can see that there are no bugs in all the plots and designs involved in the nearly 600,000 words, and there are often unexpected but reasonable twists when reading.
