    I would like to recommend an ancient proverb that I have come back to over and over again recently. The male protagonist is at the pinnacle of power and is accustomed to conspiracy and betrayal. He thought his heart had been turned into stone until he met the orphan girl. He began to have weaknesses and people he wanted to protect. The process of slowly softening such a cold and hard character by warmth was so enjoyable.

The heroine gives me a feeling of honeysuckle, which is highly ornamental but more practical. Such a sober and independent heroine with a very charming personality!
