   All I can say is this is an amazing book! Although there was a lot of content in the first half of the book that made me want to slap the two male protagonists with my shoe soles, but I thought Song might be better than Su. When I read the middle part, I just wanted to say that Song is a scumbag and I want them to be better than Su. Although I got what I wanted in the end, I really think it's not worth it [laughs awkwardly] Those who like sadistic stories can check it out, the extreme female protagonist quits [laughs] Don't worry, although it's sadistic, it's much better than sadistic stories such as "The Bone Erosion" and "The President's Thirty-three Days of Love".
