    The male protagonist, Jiang Yu, falls in love with the female protagonist, Nan Chu, at first sight. This book also features some heartwarming romantic scenes. What I like most is that both the male and female protagonists are sharp-tongued, and each one is more sarcastic than the other. In particular, Nan Chu is never soft-hearted or a saintly white lotus when dealing with those who bully her; she simply refuses to let herself suffer any injustice. She's both wicked and lovable.
