    These two books are really invincible and beautiful. The contrast is so strong that I couldn't stop reading them. ① "She's not wrong about the nonsense" is the top 1 ancient saying!! The full text is carried out from the perspective of a vicious female protagonist. If there is no meal replacement in the whole network, the agency must work hard. It meets all my requirements for a vicious heroine. I will automatically bring Shangguan Qian to read the book. It feels like a meal replacement for Shangguan Qian. Don't be dissuaded by the name. The writing is really good ~ most books have ci. !! Although the name of this book looks a bit awkward, it is not awkward to read. Moreover, the male protagonist's personality is super contrasting. He looks cold but will act coquettishly to the female protagonist. He is like a big dog~ If you like the male protagonist to be a dog, you must try this novel.
