It's so beautiful that I almost want to cry. I just picked up a book. I didn't expect it to be so good. People say that the heroine's image is not outstanding, but I think the heroine is really good. She has a plan, acting skills and ambition. I am shocked every time I see the heroine's acting skills, especially the part where she is possessed by a nightmare. I cried with low tears. I feel so immersed in it.
