   This book is really beautiful!! I love this kind of plot so much. Is there any plot similar to this? I've read other plots by this author that don't seem to be like this. The male protagonist doesn't care much about the female protagonist's feelings in the early stage, but later he really falls in love with the female protagonist and is very kind to her. Please recommend other ones. There are secret room specimens and so on. The male protagonist is also haunted and scares the female protagonist. Anyway, every time something goes wrong, it is designed by the male protagonist. Then at the critical moment, a hero comes to save the beauty🌚
