   As a seasoned reader of this book, I highly recommend it to everyone!! It's a sweet and satisfying read, with the second male lead rising to power – "Shocking!

Neither the male nor female lead avoids problems, and the male lead doesn't try to bind the female lead in the name of love; he helps her grow and resolves conflicts promptly. The female lead isn't a hothouse flower either; she fights back.

    The story is a classic "wife-chasing-after-the-crematorium" trope, and the female lead seems unlikely to turn back. The second male lead is the male lead's twin brother, treated like a dog. One night he said he wouldn't mind being a substitute, but the next day he completely changed his tune, acting all high and mighty – what substitute doesn't want to be the real deal?! The female lead: I can't stand up to my ex-husband's face. The second male lead: We'll just switch. The female lead has a strong character; the beginning is a little angsty, but she starts her comeback within five chapters, which is incredibly satisfying. Plus, there are lots of foreshadowing elements; I really want to see the day all the truth is revealed! Most importantly, the title is absolutely captivating!
