   The female lead is strong, the characters are vivid and well-developed, and the protagonist is very doting. I read this serialized novel back in 2023, and I was so engrossed in it when it ended, so I abandoned it. Now, in 2025, it's finished, and I've reread it. I really like the straightforward female lead (she directly confronts shameless people), plus the plot development is quite interesting and novel, and the male lead is protective of his wife. Although some characters are affected by the plot, they still manage to break free from its constraints thanks to the female lead's efforts, which I find excellent. The author's imagination is fresh, and the plot is very clear. 👍

   The first book, while an infinite flow novel, features a truly outstanding team member, and the author's writing is excellent. The second book boasts a powerful female lead and her teammates, and the portrayal of the relationships between the girls is vivid and touching, rather than being merely NPCs to highlight the female lead. The third book is hilarious, with lively descriptions of the female lead, her classmates, Teacher Wuya, and the student council members. Each character has their own unique traits, and each academy has its own distinct characteristics. Reading it truly allows you to feel the youthful spirit and vigor. Highly recommended!!!
