   At first, I thought it was a slightly scary supernatural story, but after reading it, I was pleasantly surprised! The female lead has strong morals and isn't a naive or innocent character; she's straightforward, righteous, humorous, and adorable—a real powerhouse! The male lead is the Dragon King, a bit of a straight man, arrogant and sharp-tongued, but genuinely protective of the female lead! The female lead even picked up a head as a subordinate, naming it Ah Tou (Head), which is hilarious!
