In the first part, my sweet aunt laughed, and in the second part, the male and female protagonists fall more and more in love with each other, but they feel more and more sad between the lines, especially when the female protagonist goes "crazy" and the male protagonist always hides his face and cries. (Obviously in many novels, the male protagonist's tendency to cry is an exciting point, but in this novel, it is really sad.) It is more realistic than other novels. It's true pure love [crying][crying] The heroine's baby is not bad at all. She does those things just to punish the bad guys. Because she is too kind and has a strong sense of morality, those things she does will also cause a psychological burden on herself. She loves the hero more and more, so it hurts...
