   The book girl wanted to lie down when she came out, but she was stalked by the evil king who was reborn. He said, "Take power with me," and she said, "It's better to sleep," which made him angry. The plot and wits are so hard-core that they fly, but the emotional line is like two idiots pecking each other. There are more jokes than foreshadowing. The title of the book really delayed this book!​
