    To my liking this one is exactly the same. He traveled through time and became a little beggar who was only 7 years old. His family was completely destitute and everyone in his family was killed. How could this child survive? And it carries a stigma. Do you want to be criticized by others for the rest of your life? Don't be afraid, because this child is an adult in his heart, and he has to devote himself to clearing the name of his family. This is a difficult and long road... The other book is a somewhat funny story about a maid who rose to power, and then escaped, and what happened along the way. The escape starts with drilling the dog.
