    It's absolutely amazing! Both the male and female leads are strong. Although the female lead was abandoned as a child, she's resilient, brave, and has her own ideas. The male lead is incredibly doting on her, remembering all her preferences and supporting her thoughts. Even a non-Buddhist prays for his girl's safety—it's incredibly touching! They both grow and their love becomes even stronger. The author's writing is superb. The low rating is probably because it just finished and not many people have noticed yet, but it's truly amazing!
