    Reader note

    Although this book doesn't have a high rating, it's really good. The plot is reasonable and it's not a mindless wish-fulfillment story. Moreover, it's written very delicately, focusing on everyday family life. The male lead's family is extremely difficult, even rarer in period dramas [laughing emoji]. The female lead is very clear-headed and not a saint.
