   Don't read this short book, but this one is quite good. I got it from dy's tweet. The male and female protagonists are childhood sweethearts. There are many attackers who force their way into this world and want to conquer the male protagonist, but the male protagonist only focuses on the female protagonist. The female protagonist has extraordinary sensibility. She didn't know that the male protagonist liked her before, and the two of them ended up together. Nice

   Super invincible and beautiful!!! Highly recommended! The heroine and the hero are childhood sweethearts, and the hero has always liked the heroine. The female protagonist has a super good personality, and the male protagonist is unconditionally tolerant of her. They both live in the same compound and have been playmates together since childhood. The relationship in the compound is very good, and everyone loves the heroine very much, which can satisfy everyone's (please answer the fantasies of growing up in 1988). The rich CPs are also very good-looking (soldiers and female celebrities), I highly recommend everyone to watch them!!!
