    The cross-class romance between the South Korean Crown Prince and the heiress of a chaebol made me, someone with very little knowledge of South Korea, instantly understand the awkward situation this country faces. Also, the male lead is truly amazing, with high emotional and intellectual intelligence, and his romance with his substitute is both hilarious and sweet.

    I transmigrated into the body of the tragic second female lead in the book. The male lead, who is paired with the female lead, is Lu Jingchen, a ruthless businessman. I wanted to stay far away from the plot, but my own father dragged me to learn golf with him. After getting close to him, I heard others say that he had a tragic past, and I actually felt sorry for the villainous male lead first! A wealthy family + transmigrating into a book to save myself, the contrast is huge.

    Reader note

    Tired of the typical urban romance novel trope of domineering CEOs providing unconditional protection and protagonists achieving superhuman feats? You absolutely must read this! There are no unexpected blessings or unconditional support here. The female lead finds herself in a perilous environment where everyone who approaches her has ulterior motives, and goodwill is often a trap. She doesn't rely on looks or connections; she protects herself and fights back solely through her professional skills and meticulous thinking. The story focuses on realistic survival, and its unconventional premise feels refreshingly original.
