   ❣️❣️❣️ A good read if you're looking for something to read. No angst, just heartwarming slice-of-life moments. The female lead doesn't utilize her spatial abilities very much. Although there's a "real or fake heiress" trope, both families get along well, and the two female leads get along well as sisters. The female lead returns to her original family and lives with her biological father and brother in the village. It's a heartwarming, pampered life. After marriage, she joins the army, catches spies, and goes to university... There are few toxic characters and no truly upsetting plot points.
