I sincerely recommend this book. Everyone who has read it says it is good. The reasons are as follows: ① The female protagonist is a growth-oriented woman who is smart, decisive and self-improving, and will not rely solely on the male protagonist. The male protagonist knows how to behave appropriately, will not get entangled with other women, and respects the female protagonist. ②The setting of two strong characters is not focused on romance, but the heroine is in charge of career, but the emotional line is very interesting and easy to relate to. ③I really like the characters of the male and female protagonists. The male protagonist is wanton and arrogant, young and loyal, and values ​​affection. The heroine is strong and tenacious, does not accept fate, has her own bottom line in doing things, and has her own ideas. ④This is not a traditional mindless novel. There will be setbacks and growth in the middle. The plot becomes more exciting as it goes on.
