    It's absolutely fantastic! The author's writing is superb, and the characters are all incredibly well-developed, full, and nuanced. Whether it's the main couple, the side couples, or even the little fox and the red dragon, or Xiangyun and Xiaoman, everything is beautifully written. The story features the sunny, cheerful girl Mimi and the spirited yet stubbornly proud young man Lili. It's a younger-older-older-younger story, with the female lead transmigrating into a book. There are misunderstandings, but she's willing to speak up. The male lead, lacking love since childhood, is dark and calculating. After meeting the female lead, he develops a possessive, almost yandere-like personality, but mistakenly believes it's a love curse, and cautiously sulks alone. The female lead is kind, beautiful, and sunny, slowly dispelling the male lead's inner darkness and guiding him towards his sexual relationship. The male lead gradually falls for her, revealing a sharp tongue but a soft heart. Both are wonderful characters. Highly recommended!!!
